Overview of Trenton Gardens Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

Trenton Gardens is a 215-bed skilled nursing facility in downtown Trenton, New Jersey. It takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay patients. Most residents come for short-term post-acute rehab after surgery or acute illness, though some need longer-term skilled nursing care. The neighborhood’s Walk Score of 74 means families can get around reasonably well without a car.

Only 47 of 215 beds are occupied. The average resident stays about 126 days, which makes sense for a facility focused on post-acute rehab rather than long-term placements.

Short-term rehab, stroke recovery, dementia and Alzheimer’s care, tracheostomy management, palliative and hospice support. Twenty-four-hour nursing coverage means residents can transition between care levels without getting shipped to different facilities.

Registered nurses average 24 minutes per resident daily. Total nursing care across all staff comes to 3 hours and 43 minutes per resident. Nurse aides provide the bulk of that at 2 hours and 1 minute, with LPNs and LVNs adding 46 minutes. So this is an aide-heavy model, which is standard but worth noting.

An in-house kitchen handles food. Meals are chef-prepared and supposedly adapt to whatever dietary needs residents have, including plant-based or therapeutic restrictions.

Fifteen years of inspection data show chronic, recurring issues. State surveyors consistently document the same deficiencies: understaffing, inadequate supervision, infection control problems, and environmental maintenance failures. Multiple inspections have hit immediate jeopardy status because of supervision and safety lapses.

The facility submits corrective action plans. Then the same problems show up again in the next inspection. That cycle repeats. This is a facility with serious compliance issues that corrective actions haven’t resolved.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs 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. 27m per day ▼ 35% 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. 50m per day ▼ 10% 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. 2h 6m per day ▼ 6% 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. 3h 2m per day ▼ 12% State avg: 3h 27m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
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. 3m per day ▼ 45% 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. 15m per day ▼ 47% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day
