Aster Creek is a 100-bed nursing home in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. Right now they’re running at 73% occupancy with 73 actual residents on census. Most people stay around seven months, which tracks with the typical post-acute rehab timeline.
They take Medicare and Medicaid, plus private pay, so there’s flexibility depending on what someone can access. The neighborhood itself is moderately walkable (Walk Score 55), which basically means you can grab groceries if you’re mobile enough, but you’re not going to walk everywhere. Visitors who drive will have an easier time than people relying on transit.
Staffing-wise, they’re allocating substantial time. Residents get about 4 hours and 42 minutes of total nursing coverage daily, which breaks down to 20 minutes from an RN, another 20 minutes from an LPN or LVN, and 2 hours and 10 minutes from nurse aides. It’s a real distribution of labor, not just nominal presence.
The clinical side handles post-acute recovery seriously. IV therapy, cardiac programs, pulmonary care, pain management systems. They have bilingual staff, which matters if residents or families don’t speak English as a primary language. Beyond the medical piece, they offer WiFi, individual activity programming, in-room TV access, a concierge, and they put actual care into food preparation rather than just feeding people.
The inspection record since 2021 tells you something. State reviewers have consistently found gaps around environmental safety, infection control, food safety, and life safety code compliance. There was one bad finding in 2021 related to smoking policy violations that rose to immediate jeopardy level. That specific severity hasn’t shown up again in later inspections, but the pattern of citations across other categories suggests management has areas that need ongoing attention.
So what you’re looking at is a mid-sized suburban skilled nursing facility doing post-hospitalization work. It’s functional, reasonably staffed, and transparent about where regulators have identified problems.
Aster Creek Nursing And Rehabilitation Center is administrated by Mr. Yonason Steif.
