Care One At The Highlands in Edison, NJ, offers a nursing-home level of care designed for residents who need continuous clinical oversight. The medical team provides on-site physical therapy and speech therapy, and an attending physician is available for regular consultations and ongoing management of chronic or complex conditions. Short-term respite care is also offered, allowing caregivers a break while residents receive the same comprehensive support available to long-term residents. Social services staff coordinate care plans, help with discharge planning, and connect residents and families to community resources.
Beyond the core clinical services, the facility maintains an emergency call system in resident rooms and common areas, ensuring prompt staff response at any hour. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants are on duty around the clock, and therapists collaborate with nursing staff to integrate rehabilitation goals into daily routines. This coordinated approach aims to maintain safety, reduce hospital readmissions, and support each resident’s highest practical level of independence.
Residences range from studio and efficiency layouts, some of which include in-unit washers and dryers, Wi-Fi access, and individual climate control. Outdoor areas and landscaped grounds provide space for fresh air, while select units are designated pet friendly. Not every apartment contains every feature, so prospective residents should verify specific unit details during a tour. Regular housekeeping keeps living spaces clean, and on-site parking is available for residents and visitors.
Dining services supply three daily meals with a focus on balanced nutrition. Meals are typically served in a family-style setting that encourages social interaction, though accommodations can be made for specialized diets when ordered by a physician or dietitian. Residents who prefer a quick bite can visit the on-site market for snacks and basic necessities.
Recreation and wellness programming includes an activity center for group events, arts and crafts sessions, clubs and special-interest communities, yoga classes, and scheduled bingo games.
