Toms River Nursing Homes

Toms River has eight skilled nursing homes, with Medicare rating seven. The average overall rating is 3.3 stars, with one home at five stars and four rated four stars or better. However, two facilities scored two stars or lower, indicating significant concerns. Families will find a mix of options, but the overall quality varies widely across the city.

Staffing averages 3.3 nursing hours per resident daily, with only 0.4 hours from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover is 43%, meaning frequent staff changes. This low staffing level and high turnover suggest limited consistent care, which directly impacts daily support and stability for residents.

Statewide, shared room nursing home costs average $106,490 yearly; this figure applies broadly. While Toms River has some well-rated homes, the city average is modest. Families should check the specific Medicare ratings for each facility. If higher-rated care is needed within the city, the four homes with four stars or more are the strongest local options; otherwise, nearby towns may offer better-rated alternatives.
