As New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania lawyers with a practice expertise in nursing home abuse, we find it imperative to educate the public about nursing homes that have conditions that could lead to abuse and neglect cases. We continue to review the report cards given by Medicare to see how the nursing homes in New Jersey are rated. When we come across a nursing home that has a below average rating, we feel compelled to post about it so the public is aware of its reputation. While searching the Medicare Nursing Home Compare database, we once again found a nursing home with a low rating in Union County. In fact, this Union County nursing home is not considered below average, but well below average, only garnering one out of five stars.
