In East Orange
How to read this table: "Overall" is the CMS star rating, which combines inspections, staffing, and quality measures from resident assessments and claims; "Inspection" is the on-site health inspection rating — the most independent signal, and the one CMS grades on a curve against other facilities in the same state. Flags are federal abuse citations and Special Focus status.

All bars start at zero. Exact values and supporting details remain below.

- Can the facility accept your payment arrangement? 4 of 4 facilities here are listed with Medicaid certification. Certification does not establish an available bed, your eligibility or the amount you will owe. Confirm directly and request an itemized written quote.
