Overview of Plaza Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center

Facebook LinkedIn

Plaza Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center is a 128-bed skilled nursing home at 456 Rahway Avenue in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Owned by Nathan Fishman, the facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For visitors, the surrounding neighborhood has a walkability score of 81 out of 100, which means the area is highly pedestrian-friendly, making it simple to complete errands or visit shops on foot without a car.

The building operates at a 69 percent occupancy rate, with residents staying for an average of 219 days. This duration reflects an ongoing caseload split between long-term skilled care and short-term recovery. Around-the-clock staffing provides an average of 4 hours and 12 minutes of nursing care per resident each day, which includes 40 minutes from registered nurses and just over 2 hours from nurse aides. This care team administers sub-acute rehabilitation, memory care for Alzheimer’s and dementia, palliative care, private duty nursing, and respite care.

Interested individuals comparing regional care facilities or long-term nursing setups can use these state regulatory filings to assess the property’s operational background. The public documents outline a highly walkable city campus that provides a restaurant-style dining setup, private bathrooms, and higher-than-average daily nursing hours, balanced against historical procedural fixes in emergency and infection protocols.

Staff type
Hours / day / resident
vs 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.
33m
−20% 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.
49m
−13% 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.
1h 58m
−12% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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.

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.
4m
−36% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m 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.
