This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 15 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.
Livingston Post Acute Care receives high praise for its dedicated nursing and rehabilitation staff, with many families highlighting individual caregivers who provide compassionate, personalized support. However, critical reviews point to significant issues with understaffing, slow response times to call bells, and concerns regarding medication safety and patient monitoring. While many patients report successful recovery, the facility's consistency in care quality appears to fluctuate depending on the shift and staffing levels.

Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is beautiful but it is not for someone who is going in for rehabilitation and has other health care needs. The experience I had with my father for just one week was absolutely ridiculous. First off there is NOT enough staffing her to handle the high acuity of patients.”
“The best feature is the physical and occupational therapy staff. I got therapy usually every day. Yolanda was one of physical therapy staff who encouraged me with a sense of humor. It receives two stars because the aides on the morning and afternoon shifts go on vacation and NEVER answered call bells during their last hour.”
“Upon discharged once we got home they gave him another patients medication; a womens at that. My sister took it back & they gave her the right medication. It seems like nobody took this issue serious.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
