Overview of Excel Care at Dover

Located in Dover, New Jersey, Excel Care at Dover is a skilled nursing home on North Sussex Street in a very walkable neighborhood (Walk Score 77), so most errands can be done on foot. Grande Center For Post Acute And Nursing Care LLC owns the home, which operates as a focused rehabilitation and post-acute care facility. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families multiple ways to cover short-term rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care.

The 155-bed community is a mid-sized operation with 92% occupancy. Residents stay an average of 104 days, indicating that the home’s strength lies in short-term rehabilitation.

Residents get approximately 3 hours and 44 minutes of total nursing care per day. They are supported by a clinical team of registered nurses (35 minutes per day), nurse aides (2 hours 14 minutes per day), and licensed practical nurses (46 minutes per day). This mix of staffing allows the home to deliver the hands-on personal care and the skilled clinical oversight for post-acute residents.

The facility focuses on rehabilitation, offering specialized short-term rehab, respite care, and palliative and hospice services for those in the final stages of care. It’s near Newark and regional hospitals, which is a great option for families managing hospital discharges and ongoing clinical needs. This very walkable area means family members can easily visit from out of town and navigate the neighborhood easily. The home is also accessible by public transit.

Inspection reports from the past five years documented findings related to medication management, security protocols, and staffing ratios. Families evaluating the home should ask how the facility addresses these areas in its daily operations and what its quality improvement efforts are.

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. 42m per day ■ Avg State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 41m 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 ▼ 24% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 52m 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. 2h 20m per day ▲ 4% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day

Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants.

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. 27m per day ▼ 8% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day
