An average length of stay of 117 days establishes a clear operational baseline for the Brookhaven Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare. This 122-bed institution in East Orange, Essex County, maintains a 92 percent occupancy rate, focusing its service model on short-stay, post-acute transitions for individuals exiting acute episodes such as cardiac events, surgical procedures, or strokes. The facility curates a clinical portfolio prioritizing orthopedic and cardiac rehabilitation, neurological recovery, wound management, and pain stabilization, all supported by 24-hour nursing coverage and palliative options for residents with long-term needs.
Located at 120 Park End Pl and under the administration of Yehuda Green, the center functions as a multi-payer environment accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private funds. Quantitative data regarding clinical labor indicates a total of 3 hours and 15 minutes of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, segmented into 31 minutes from registered nurses, 49 minutes from licensed practical or vocational nurses, and slightly under 2 hours provided by nurse aides. The surrounding environment yields a Walk Score of 65, placing the site within a moderately accessible urban grid roughly 1.1 miles from the city center and 2.5 miles from University Hospital.
Memory care and dementia support represent a distinct segment of the clinical structure. Peripheral lifestyle offerings include restaurant-style dining with individualized nutritional planning, a barber and salon, a library, and various spiritual or wellness classes alongside outdoor access. Regulatory scrutiny from state inspections consistently centers on the mechanics of medication management, the integrity of care documentation, the adequacy of staffing credentials, and the operational status of fire-safety and environmental systems.
Brookhaven functions as a systemic hub for post-acute recovery. The alignment of clinical staffing metrics, specialized rehabilitative programming, and a diverse payer mix provides a stable infrastructure for both transitional rehabilitation patients and residents requiring long-term, complex clinical support.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
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.
This home is ranked 207th out of 274 homes in New Jersey for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 31m per day | ▼ 25% 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.
| 49m per day | ▼ 12% 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.
| 1h 56m per day | ▼ 13% 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 52m per day | ▼ 17% 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.
| 12m per day | ▲ 96% 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.
| 19m per day | ▼ 36% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
