Size and setting
Located in Morristown, New Jersey, this facility operates 283 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 252 residents - an occupancy rate of about 89%. The facility is classified under for profit - limited liability company ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. With occupancy around 89%, bed usage here sits in the range typical of a stabilized facility.
Same-ownership peers
Within New Jersey, Morris View Healthcare Center is one of 161 for profit - limited liability company nursing homes CMS rates.

Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
