Stratford Manor Rehabilitation and Care Center is a 131-bed skilled nursing facility on Northfield Avenue that functions largely as a sub-acute recovery hub. The building handles a high daily volume, running at a 93% occupancy rate, with the vast majority of clients arriving via Medicare for brief short-term rehab stints that average about 22 days. For individuals requiring an extended timeline, the property also accommodates long-term nursing care, temporary respite stays, and hospice services. Situated roughly a mile and a half from the local downtown area, the property scores a 50 out of 100 for walkability, making the neighborhood moderately accessible for visitors and staff on foot.
Daily shift logs indicate that the floor staff provides an average of 3 hours and 30 minutes of direct care per resident each day, with registered nurses covering 35 minutes of that total. This nursing team operates alongside a dedicated physical therapy gym and a broad clinical support group that includes 16 physical therapists, occupational therapy assistants, respiratory technicians, a nurse practitioner, and clinical nurse specialists.
On the compliance side, public monitoring files from the New Jersey Department of Health show that past inspection surveys have flagged minor deficiencies in medication tracking, pharmacy storage, infection control, and resident care records. The administration resolved each of these paperwork and care issues following the reviews, leaving the facility with zero financial penalties or active enforcement actions.
Individuals researching regional short-stay physical therapy options or permanent long-term placements can look through these state reports to examine the building’s historical baseline. The public documentation details a highly utilized rehab hub backed by an active resident council, varied therapy specialists, and a clean recent annual health survey, balanced against standard administrative and pharmacy corrections.
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.

This home is ranked 167th 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.
| 37m per day | ▼ 10% 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.
| 39m per day | ▼ 30% 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 2m per day | ▼ 9% 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 58m per day | ▼ 14% 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.
| 6m per day | ▲ 3% 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.
| 26m per day | ▼ 9% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
