This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 18 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.
Peace Care St Ann's receives high praise for its cleanliness, welcoming atmosphere, and dedicated nursing staff, with many families noting significant improvements in their loved ones' mobility during rehab. However, a small but vocal group of reviewers reports serious concerns regarding medication errors, neglect, and understaffing, particularly during off-hours. Families considering this facility should weigh the frequent positive reports of compassionate care against these critical allegations of safety lapses.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff are angels. The nearness and environment is so so therapeutic.”
“My mom was there for only 5 days before she went into a diabetic coma and was unresponsive due to them not giving her one of glucose medications for 5 day.”
“If they like you they will do what’s necessary. Otherwise you will wait forever for assistance in your bed.”
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.
