Short-term rehab or long-term care?
Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.
Short-term rehab
For a stay of a few weeks after a hospital visit, such as after surgery or a stroke.
- Sent back to the hospital16.9%State average: 24.9%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit7.7%State average: 8.1%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.1%State average: 1.2%About average
Physical therapist time: about 3 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is less than the state average of 6 minutes. It is not one person’s therapy schedule; if rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury2.8%State average: 2.3%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)12.2%State average: 5.4%Worse than average
- Given antipsychotic drugs12.7%State average: 12.7%About average
- Hospital stays per 1,000 resident days1.7State average: 2.1About average

Who pays, and how full it is
Residents’ care here is paid by a mix of Medicaid, Medicare and private pay. In New Jersey, Medicaid pays for 64% of resident days at a typical home.
- 40% Medicaid
- 36% Medicare
- 24% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average39%New Jersey typical: 83%
Facility operating cost per resident day$814New Jersey typical: $391
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending December 2023. The cost per day is what care costs the home to provide, not the price you would pay; ask the home for its private-pay rate. A busy home may have fewer open beds, so ask about availability.
