Excel Care At Wayne is a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility in Wayne, New Jersey, operating under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 315103. 120-bed facility. For Profit - Limited Liability Company. Part of the Excelcare chain. The facility is required to comply with the Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities at 42 CFR Part 483.
Excel Care At Wayne has held its Medicare/Medicaid certification for approximately 55 years (certification date on file: 1970-07-01). Long-tenured facilities (15+ years) often have established F-tag remediation playbooks and a deeper standard-survey trail; newly-certified facilities (under 3 years) are subject to a different initial survey cadence under 42 CFR 488.308.
Local market context (Passaic County): Excel Care At Wayne operates in Passaic County alongside 12 other Medicare-certified SNFs in our New Jersey cohort sample. Multi-facility counties create direct cohort comparison pressure — hospital discharge planners typically run side-by-side Care Compare lookups before placement decisions.
CMS publishes Five-Star ratings for nursing homes monthly, drawn from the most recent three years of standard surveys, complaint surveys, and Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions.
Long-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★★☆ (4 of 5). Long-stay measures cover residents in the facility 100+ days and include indicators like residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, residents whose ability to move independently worsened, and residents with a urinary tract infection.
Short-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★★☆ (4 of 5). Short-stay measures cover post-acute residents discharged within 100 days and include rehospitalization within 30 days, successful return to community, and improvement in function.
Differentiating long-stay from short-stay QMs matters for placement decisions — a facility with strong short-stay QMs may still underperform on long-stay metrics, and vice versa.
Excel Care At Wayne has none of the four CMS-published red-flag indicators active at the most recent publish: not on the Special Focus Facility list, no Abuse Icon on Care Compare, no overdue inspection flag, and no recent change-of-ownership flag. Absence of these flags does not mean the facility is deficiency-free — see the survey history below.
Recent health deficiencies cited at last standard survey: 6. National average for facilities of this size is approximately 8 deficiencies per cycle. Excel Care At Wayne has no CMS fines in its most recent reporting cycle. Last documented standard health survey: 2024-12-13. CMS conducts standard surveys at most every 15 months for SNFs, with substandard-quality findings triggering more frequent revisits.
CMS health survey weighted score: 74.25. The weighted score multiplies deficiency severity (A-L) by scope (isolated, pattern, widespread); higher weighted scores translate directly into the Health Inspection star rating tier breakpoints CMS publishes monthly.
At today's staffing levels, Excel Care At Wayne would not meet the cadre-specific minimums scheduled to take effect on the May 2027 timeline under 89 FR 40876: RN HPRD is 0.432 vs the 0.55 floor, a 0.12-hour gap and nurse-aide HPRD is 1.558 vs the 2.45 floor, a 0.89-hour gap. Closing this gap typically requires either net new hires at the specific cadre, shifted scheduling that reallocates existing FTEs to direct-care hours, or a hardship exemption application under 42 CFR 483.35.
Total nurse staffing: 2.604 hours per resident day (HPRD), which is 0.88 hours below the 3.48 total HPRD floor scheduled to take effect for non-rural facilities by May 2027 (89 FR 40876, May 2024); facilities projected to remain below the floor at the effective date must either close the gap, qualify for a hardship exemption, or face citation under 42 CFR 483.35.
Staffing mix: RN 0.432 HPRD, LPN 0.614 HPRD, CNA 1.558 HPRD. The same CMS final rule also phases in cadre-specific minimums of 0.55 RN HPRD and 2.45 nurse aide HPRD on the 2027 timeline; RN-specific shortfalls have historically been the most common single-facility staffing deficiency at standard surveys.
Weekend RN staffing: 0.235 HPRD. Weekend RN coverage is a separately reported CMS measure; facilities with low weekend RN HPRD frequently see resident-acuity-driven adverse events spike on the weekend shift.
Total nurse staff turnover: 76.7% annualized — extremely high (above the 60% red-flag threshold tracked by CMS).
RN-specific turnover: 64.3% annualized. RN turnover above 50% is the single strongest correlate with QM rating decline in CMS's own internal analyses.
Administrator turnover events in the most recent reporting window: 1. Multiple administrator changes in a 12-month window is associated with substantial leadership-discontinuity risk during the next standard survey.
Excel Care At Wayne is operated as part of Excelcare, a chain operating 9 Medicare-certified facilities (CMS chain identifier 757). Chain-operated facilities tend to share corporate compliance staff, standard operating procedures, and survey-prep resources — but also share enforcement exposure when CMS designates a chain-wide issue under the system-wide quality assurance framework.
Provider type designation: Medicare And Medicaid.
The facility is classified by CMS as urban (within a metropolitan statistical area). Urban SNFs typically face higher acuity post-acute admissions, more competitive labor markets, and stricter local-jurisdiction infection control requirements layered on top of federal CoPs.
Peer comparisons use a same-state cohort of 200 Medicare-certified SNFs, pulled live from CMS Provider Data. The cohort excludes terminated and surrendered certifications.
FileFlo's compliance indicator for Excel Care At Wayne is 31/100 (High Risk). The score is derived from publicly published health-deficiency counts, weighted survey scores, infection-control citations, fines, and staffing hours per resident day. It is not a CMS rating.
