Overview of Care One at Somerset Valley Assisted Living

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.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info 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.
Health Inspection Info 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.
Staffing Info 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.
Quality Measures Info 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.

vs avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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
LPN / LVN Info 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
Nurse Aide Info 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
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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
Physical Therapist Info 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
Weekend RN Info 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
