CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.

New Community Extended Care Facility is a 180-bed nursing home on South Orange Avenue in Newark that takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Right now it’s running at 48% occupancy, so there are 86 residents spread across single and double rooms. The neighborhood scores 81 on Walk Score, which means people can actually walk to what they need instead of being isolated on a campus somewhere.
The facility staffs nurses and aides around the clock, clocking in at about 3 hours and 44 minutes of nursing time per resident each day. There’s a separate unit for Alzheimer’s and dementia, plus rehab services for people coming out of the hospital or recovering from surgery. So whether someone’s rebuilding function after a stroke or managing cognitive decline, there’s structured therapy and programming that matches what they actually need.
Food gets made fresh daily by their chef, and it’s nutritionally balanced with seasonal produce worked in. The activity calendar is consistent. Arts, music, bingo, group discussions, barbecues, exercise programs. There’s a library, game room, activity spaces, a courtyard outside, and the usual stuff in the rooms.
The inspection record tells you the survey in November 2025 had zero deficiencies. Before that, inspections kept flagging the same problems: not enough staff, infection control gaps, and not telling families when something changed with a resident’s health or room assignment. But that pattern has actually shifted, and the record shows improvement.
This facility operates at nursing home level, which means it handles both short-term rehab patients and people with advancing dementia who need stability and medical oversight in a neighborhood where they’re not locked away.
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.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 129th 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.
| 23m per day | ▼ 45% 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.
| 51m per day | ▼ 9% 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.
| 2h 23m per day | ▲ 7% 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.
| 3h 19m per day | ▼ 4% 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.
| 1m per day | ▼ 80% 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.
| 17m per day | ▼ 40% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
