Aristacare at Parkside is a premier post-hospital care facility in Linden, NJ, specializing in long-term care, sub-acute care, and rehabilitation. Recently, the center underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation, unveiling a brand-new lobby, state-of-the-art rehab gym, and an upgraded sub-acute unit, making it one of the most modern and welcoming environments for recovery and care in the region.
Dedicated to helping residents achieve their highest level of independence and wellness, Parkside provides 24/7 skilled nursing care, comprehensive therapies, and advanced clinical programs. Its Cardiac Program is designed to support patients recovering from cardiac surgery or illness, while physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available to ensure individualized recovery plans.
Parkside also offers innovative lifestyle and cultural initiatives, including the Nostalgia Park Program for memory care, along with specialized Latino, Indian, and Polish programs that allow residents to celebrate their traditions and cultures.
Beyond skilled nursing and rehabilitation, the community features a small assisted living facility that accepts Medicaid through the MLTSS program, making quality care accessible to more families. Short-term respite services are also available, offering temporary care with the same high standards of comfort, safety, and compassion.
With its recent transformation, specialized cultural and clinical programming, and its reputation as a trusted partner for hospitals and families, Aristacare at Parkside stands as the premier destination for post-hospital care in New Jersey.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 21m per day | ▼ 49% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 52m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 9m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 2h 59m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 3h 27m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 6m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 15m per day | ▼ 48% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on May 15, 2025, identified deficiencies related to inadequate supervision that allowed a cognitively impaired resident to elope from a secured dementia unit. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving food service accuracy, medication storage and labeling, infection control, resident assessments, and environmental cleanliness. Complaint investigations substantiated issues with meal preferences and resident supervision, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility implemented corrective actions including increased monitoring and staff training following the elopement incident. The inspection history shows ongoing challenges in several operational areas without a clear pattern of consistent improvement or worsening.
