These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 47% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 9 findings, above the NJ average of 8.5. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Elmwood Hills Healthcare Center receives a high volume of positive feedback, particularly regarding its rehabilitation services and the warmth of the staff on specific units like S1. However, families should be aware of recurring, serious concerns regarding understaffing, slow response times for call bells, and inconsistent quality of care, which have led to some very negative experiences.

Key Review Excerpts
“The unit S1 staff is amazing. The unit clerk and the unit manager made me feel so comfortable they jump in when they are needed at anytime.”
“Quite often throughout the day and night there are not enough health aides on staff to take care of us OR to change us so the quality of our care has definitely suffered immensely, at times unfortunately.”
“The staff and nurses are amazing. Other places I have dealt with before, they would give me the social workers number. They never called back no matter how many times you called. But with Elmwood Hills, their social workers are on the ball.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions.
