The short answer
Record last released by New Jersey Department of Health, Certificate of Need and Facility Licensing on Nov 2, 2026.
- Not rated by Medicare: CMS rates only the providers it certifies, and this one isn’t Medicare-certified
- Not read what inspectors found: the state’s list doesn’t carry it
Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.
What these words mean7
- Not read
- The file this site reads doesn’t carry what inspectors found, so nothing is counted here. It doesn’t mean the place has a clean record: the state’s own site may have its reports. Source: How this site reads each source.
- Star ratings
- CMS rates some kinds of place from 1 to 5 stars, more stars meaning better on CMS’s own measures for that kind: for a nursing home, its health inspections, staffing and quality measures. A rating is CMS’s summary of those measures; it doesn’t promise good care. Source: CMS, Care Compare and the Five-Star Quality Rating System.
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
- Scope and severity (A to L)
- CMS grades each nursing home deficiency with a letter. A to C: no actual harm, with potential for minimal harm. D to F: no actual harm, but potential for more. G to I: actual harm. J to L: immediate jeopardy. Within each band, the letter rises as more residents were affected or could be: one or a few, a pattern, or widespread. Source: CMS, nursing home scope and severity grid (State Operations Manual, chapter 7).
- Nurse staffing hours
- The hours registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and nurse aides worked, per resident per day, from the payroll records each home sends CMS. Source: CMS, Payroll-Based Journal.
- Fines and payment denials
- A fine (civil money penalty) is money CMS makes a nursing home pay when it falls short of federal rules. A payment denial means Medicare and Medicaid stop paying for new admissions until the home meets the rules again. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.430 and 488.417.
What did inspectors find?
- New Jersey’s workbook of licensed facilities carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. The Department of Health says: “Long Term Care (LTC) Enforcement information can be found on the LTC search page,” where each facility’s page lists its inspections.
Is it licensed, or certified?
- Long-term care facility, licensed by New Jersey’s Department of Health.
- New Jersey’s workbook types it “LONG TERM CARE FACILITY LTC-PRIV”, where it types its certified homes “SNF/NF”, so it isn’t Medicare-certified. CMS’s files list only the nursing homes Medicare certifies, so no CMS CMS rates some kinds of place from 1 to 5 stars, more stars meaning better on CMS’s own measures for that kind: for a nursing home, its health inspections, staffing and quality measures. A rating is CMS’s summary of those measures; it doesn’t promise good care. Source: CMS, Care Compare and the Five-Star Quality Rating System., survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
- New Jersey’s licence number: 061403, valid to Nov 30, 2027.
- Ownership: Corporation - for Profit.

Has the state acted against it?
- New Jersey’s workbook carries no enforcement actions; the facility’s own page on the Department of Health’s search lists them.
Who does the caring?
- New Jersey publishes no staffing levels in this list, and CMS’s staffing measures cover only certified nursing homes.
Who owns it?
- Licensed owner: Garden Terrace Nursing Home.

How do residents fare?
- CMS rates only Medicare-certified nursing homes, so no CMS rating is shown here; New Jersey publishes no rating in this list.
How does it compare nearby?
- Not compared: CMS’s measures cover only the nursing homes Medicare certifies, and this state’s list publishes no measure of its own to compare.
What the record doesn’t say
- New Jersey licenses every nursing home as a long-term care facility, and its workbook’s type for each says whether it is certified. This page is one typed “LTC-PRIV”, licensed alone, and that CMS’s files don’t hold by its name or its street either: so no CMS rating or inspection covers it. A facility whose type says nothing of certification isn’t listed.
- CMS’s files list only the nursing homes Medicare certifies, so no CMS star rating, survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
- New Jersey’s workbook of licensed facilities carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. The Department of Health says: “Long Term Care (LTC) Enforcement information can be found on the LTC search page,” where each facility’s page lists its inspections.
- New Jersey’s workbook gives a licence’s expiry date, which can be past while its renewal is processed.
