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 hospital24.8%State average: 24.9%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit6.5%State average: 8.1%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs1.1%State average: 1.2%About average
Physical therapist time: about 12 minutes per resident a day. That is more than the state average of 6 minutes. 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 injury0.0%State average: 2.3%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)4.0%State average: 5.4%Better than 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.
- 45% Medicaid
- 16% Medicare
- 40% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average54%New Jersey typical: 83%
Cost of care per resident day$909New Jersey typical: $391
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending December 2024. 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.
