For that timeframe, the nursing home held an overall CMS rating of 3, falling below New Jersey’s state nursing home average of 3.4. CMS bases ratings on core metrics, including results of health inspections, staffing availability, and resident care quality.

Data shows Peace Care St. Joseph’s had an average daily census of 120.4 residents for the first quarter of 2026, with a total capacity of 139 beds. The nursing home is not connected to a hospital.

In this period, Peace Care St. Joseph’s accrued fines totaling $192,635 through 24 fines and faced 25 penalties.

U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate continued growth in the nation’s older adult population as numbers in younger age groups continue to slide. From 2020 to 2024, the U.S. saw a 13% increase in people age 65 and over, while the under-18 population declined by 1.7%. The older population in the U.S. has surged over the last century, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.

A study published in 2021 found nearly half of individuals in this age category—about 28 million Americans—may need long-term services and support. In addition, more than a third may ultimately rely on nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
