Complete Care at Phillipsburg is a 60-bed assisted living community at 843 Wilbur Avenue, Phillipsburg, New Jersey 08865, administered by Ms. Stephanie Ponist. The facility holds a 4-star CMS rating and operates at 85% occupancy. Across eight state inspections spanning 2020 through 2025, the facility produced 24 deficiencies total, but three of those eight inspection cycles resulted in zero deficiencies, signaling genuine consistency. On the two metrics that matter most to regulators and families alike, Complete Care performs far above the state median: it ranks #24 of 276 New Jersey facilities for total health citations and #30 of 276 for citations per inspection, placing it solidly in the top 10% statewide.
Nursing care runs 1.04 hours per resident per day; right at the state median, which means adequate but not premium staffing. The facility’s small footprint (60 beds; ranked #488 of 562 beds statewide) explains its lower revenue and payroll rankings, not any failure in operations. It is what it is: a lean, proven performer in a small-scale setting. The surrounding neighborhood scores 75 on Walk Score, ranking the location as very walkable with most errands accomplished on foot. The facility maintains a presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok.
The inspection on November 20, 2025, at a census of 51 residents, documented NJDHSS privacy protocol notification; routine administrative business covering residents’ rights to their information and the state’s legal obligation to protect it.
For residents or families seeking assisted living in a stable, compliant setting without the overhead or volatility of a large operation, Complete Care at Phillipsburg offers a straightforward value proposition: modest size, proven low-deficiency operations, and a small-town walkable location.
Complete Care At Phillipsburg, Llc is administered by Ms. Stephanie Ponist.
