Preferred Care At Absecon is licensed as a nursing-home, which means residents receive around-the-clock skilled nursing oversight. Care plans are designed to address complex medical needs common to post-acute and long-term residents, and licensed nurses monitor medications, vital signs, and chronic conditions on every shift. Rehabilitation goals are integrated into daily routines to help residents maintain or improve functional abilities while remaining under clinical supervision.
Additional clinical support includes on-site physical therapy delivered by licensed therapists who coordinate closely with nursing staff to track progress and adjust treatment plans. A short-stay respite program is available for caregivers who need temporary support, giving their loved ones access to the same nursing and therapy services as full-time residents. The facility maintains relationships with local hospitals and physicians to facilitate smooth transitions and continuity of care.
Accommodations consist of private and semi-private apartments designed for varying levels of privacy and budget. Some units include cable TV connections and direct access to outdoor areas, but these features are not present in every apartment. Residents can furnish their spaces to personal preference, and maintenance services handle routine repairs and safety checks.
Dining services follow a regular schedule with three meals a day plus snacks. Menus are created under dietitian guidance to meet medical requirements such as low-sodium or diabetic diets. Staff members provide assistance for residents who need help with feeding, and alternative entrées are available when necessary to accommodate personal or clinical dietary preferences.
For daily engagement, the community offers a library and computer lounge where residents can read, use the internet, and participate in small group activities. Basic technology assistance is available for those who need help with email or video calls, supporting social connection with family and friends.
