Three in Bergen County – in Park Ridge, Paramus and New Milford – were deemed below average with two stars.

Meanwhile, in Passaic County, one in Passaic scored lowest with one star while two in Wayne earned only two.

Medicare’s quarterly Nursing Home Compare ratings for late 2016 were highlighted in the 2017 New Jersey Nursing Home Profile.

The annual profile assessment was released Wednesday by the New Jersey Hospital Association (NJHA).

Overall, the report showed almost 60 percent of state’s 358 nursing homes got four- or five-star ratings.

That’s up from 50 percent last year.

According to the profile, nursing homes contributed $5.6 billion to the state economy in 2015.

The annual report draws on multiple public data sources, including Medicare’s ratings, according to the NJHA.
