Overview of Tallwoods Care Center

Tallwoods Care Center is a 180-bed skilled nursing facility at 18 Butler Boulevard in Bayville, Ocean County, New Jersey. Riverfront Healthcare Associates, Inc. operates the home, with Mendy Drillick serving as administrator. The care model covers a wide arc: sub-acute rehabilitation, long-term nursing care, a secured memory support unit, and hospice services, all under one roof.

New admissions are split across payer types in a way that reflects a genuine mix of short-stay and long-stay residents. Private pay covers more than half of incoming residents, typically for stays around a month. Medicare accounts for roughly a third, usually for post-acute rehab. Medicaid makes up the remainder, skewing toward long-term care.

The average length of stay across the population is 112 days. With 141 of 180 beds filled, occupancy sits at 78%.

Physical, occupational, speech-language, and respiratory therapy are all available on-site. The staffing roster includes three physical therapy assistants, three speech-language pathologists, an occupational therapy assistant, five qualified social workers, and nurse practitioners. Total nursing care runs at 2 hours 56 minutes per resident per day, with registered nurses accounting for 39 of those minutes. That figure situates Tallwoods in the lower band of state staffing levels, which is relevant context for families evaluating care intensity.

State inspections across a six-year window identified recurring concerns in earlier years, particularly around staffing ratios and care documentation. The facility’s record has moved in a better direction since then. Payment pathways include Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

Beyond clinical services, the facility runs a Secure Memory Care program alongside structured activity programming: creative arts, sensory engagement, group activities, and intellectual enrichment. Accommodations run private and semi-private, with satellite TV, phone lines, a resident-managed commissary, beautician services, and religious programming available on site. Bayville’s Walk Score of 65 means the surrounding area is navigable on foot for visiting family, with a moderate range of nearby services.

Tallwoods is structured to serve a clinically varied population, with particular depth in sub-acute recovery and memory care, making it most relevant for families weighing post-surgical rehabilitation alongside longer-term or memory-focused placement options.

Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Total nursing care / resident

2h 56m per day

vs avg

5 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.	35m per day	▼ 14% 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.	45m per day	▼ 19% 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 14m per day	■ Avg State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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 7m per day	▼ 10% 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	▼ 37% 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.	23m per day	▼ 20% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day
