Care One at Somerset Valley is a 64-bed nursing home on Route 22 West in Bound Brook, New Jersey. The facility accommodates multiple coverage paths, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For visitors, the surrounding neighborhood features a walkability score of 80 out of 100, indicating a highly pedestrian-friendly setting where local transit and services are easily accessible on foot.
An 86 percent occupancy level characterizes the daily population here, which currently houses 55 residents. This layout supports a mix of post-acute recovery and long-term care, providing around-the-clock staffing that averages 3 hours and 11 minutes of direct nursing care per resident each day. This clinical time splits into 1 hour and 14 minutes from registered nurses, 1 hour and 6 minutes from licensed practical nurses, and 1 hour and 51 minutes from nurse aides to manage short-term rehabilitation, respite, palliative care, hospice, and long-term acute care hospital partnerships.
When evaluating the facility’s regulatory history, past health department visits show recurring challenges regarding staffing adequacy, medication administration, infection control, and life safety codes. Looking at the long-term data tracking for the building, the center holds an overall citations-per-inspection rate of zero.
Interested individuals evaluating regional healthcare options or short-term therapy placements can use these state regulatory filings to assess the property’s operational background. The public documents outline a highly walkable campus that provides a fitness center, courtyard patio, movie theater, and continuous clinical staffing, balanced against necessary fixes in historical staffing and infection control protocols.
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.

This home is ranked 262nd 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.
| 1h 28m per day | ▲ 110% State avg: 42m 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.
| 42m per day | ▼ 26% State avg: 57m 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 39m per day | ▼ 26% State avg: 2h 15m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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.
| 3h 15m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 3h 30m per day · National avg: 3h 27m 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.
| 22m per day | ▲ 241% State avg: 7m 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.
| 1h 0m per day | ▲ 99% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
