Alaris Health at Belgrove

Alaris Health at Belgrove sits in Harrison, New Jersey, and has 120 certified beds, so it's about medium-sized, and you'll find it's part of the larger Alaris Health network with ties to places like Omni Asset and Palisade Nursing Center, so there's a wider group behind it which can matter sometimes for feeling connected, but each center runs its own show. Nurses at Belgrove spend 4.66 hours per resident each day, which is higher than the state average of 3.9 hours, so folks living there get a fair amount of nurse attention, and nurse turnover sits at 39.4%, which is a bit better than the New Jersey average. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services give the nursing home a 3-star rating, and the overall community rating is 5.5 out of 10, making it second in the city, and while that's not perfect, some folks may find comfort in seeing where it stands. The place offers a mix of care, including round-the-clock nursing care, memory care, assisted living, home care, short-term rehab after hospitals, behavioral specialty, complex clinical care, long-term residency, dialysis, respite, and a focus on rehabilitation, so there's help for many different needs. Services aim to match care to residents as individuals, and staff say they try to make folks feel like family, if that matters to you. Room layouts are studio-style with different design options, and the facility itself aims to be warm and supportive, plus you'll find amenities set up for recovery and long-term support. Inspections over the last few years have flagged some issues, including 20 total deficiencies and 3 infection-related ones, plus a resident assessment and care planning deficiency for safeguarding resident information, and there was a fine of $25,635 related to a December 2024 inspection that found 10 deficiencies, including two related to infections and at least one problem with respiratory care that put a resident at immediate risk, so it's important to read inspection records if you're considering a move here. Staff seem experienced and caring, and nurse levels per resident are above average for the state, but as with anywhere, seeing it in person and asking about day-to-day life is always wise because nothing tells you more than seeing it firsthand, and tours are available for those interested.
