“There are a lot of food options, the dining is open around the clock, and my mother seems to like the food. Her place is very clean, and housekeeping comes very regularly. When her TV wasn't working, we called the front desk and they came pretty quickly. The staff are very attentive and let us know right away when something comes up. The facilities are very nice, and the people are very nice. If she gets lost in a hallway, someone is there to help her, and she feels supported.”

Deficiencies are counted from each inspection’s Statement of Deficiencies, which lists the rule cited (New Jersey Administrative Code 8:36 for assisted living) and, where the facility has filed one, its plan of correction. One inspection can cover both a routine visit and a complaint. Quoted findings are the surveyor’s opening sentence from the report; “[withheld by NJDOH]” marks a detail the state removes from public reports. Some reports are not online; NJDOH says to request those through OPRA, so counts cover only the reports posted. NJDOH: “In many cases, health care facilities are given the opportunity to correct deficiencies identified through inspection surveys without incurring fines or other penalties. The Department may, however, impose a monetary fine, curtail admissions, issue a conditional license, suspend or revoke a facility's license.” NJDOH: “Information on the status of a state recommendation for enforcement is available through OPRA.” A case listed here is a recommendation for enforcement; the outcome and any fine may not be shown. Facilities may request a formal hearing before the Office of Administrative Law to appeal deficiency findings and enforcement actions. This community is licensed for 140 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.
