Overview of Excel Care at Wayne

Excel Care at Wayne operates a 120-bed nursing home in Wayne, New Jersey, focused primarily on short-term rehabilitation and acute skilled care. The address is 296 Hamburg Turnpike; the neighborhood is car-dependent (Walk Score 24), so you’ll need transportation to move around for appointments or visits. At 87% occupancy, the facility maintains fairly consistent census, with residents staying an average of about 129 days.

The staffing configuration provides approximately 3 hours of daily nursing care per resident. That breaks down to registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses working 24-hour rotations, which means continuous coverage for the acute medical needs that come with the residents the facility serves. The therapy wing is substantial and equipped with modern rehabilitation technology.

What sets Excel Care apart is the breadth of its clinical programming. It’s not a general skilled nursing facility; it’s built around acute recovery and specialized conditions. Short-term patients come for post-operative rehabilitation following joint replacement, stroke, or cardiac procedures. Longer-stay residents may be managing conditions that require closer medical oversight: hemodialysis-dependent kidney disease, COPD exacerbations, Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis, complex wound management, bariatric care.

The facility offers hospice and palliative services for those reaching end-of-life stages. There’s also pain management support and dedicated dementia programming, though the profile doesn’t detail how segregated or distinct that program is.

Daily life includes organized activities and community events, which is a given, though the profile lacks specifics about what those actually look like.

The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. No out-of-pocket pricing is published on their profile.

State inspections since 2011 reveal a recurring pattern: documentation and supervision gaps, especially around risk mitigation for residents prone to wandering or elopement, and inconsistencies in care execution such as medication administration and incontinence management. Life safety compliance involving fire systems and electrical maintenance has also come up. The facility has attempted corrective actions in response, though the pattern hasn’t fully resolved. This is a facility with genuine clinical depth and infrastructure, but one where compliance monitoring suggests you’d want to review the latest state inspection data yourself before placement.

6 of 6 metrics below state avg

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.	26m per day	▼ 37% 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.	37m per day	▼ 34% 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 33m per day	▼ 30% 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 6m per day	▼ 39% 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.	4m per day	▼ 30% 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.	14m per day	▼ 51% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day
