Hunterdon Care Center in Flemington, New Jersey, operates as a licensed nursing home, delivering round-the-clock skilled nursing oversight for residents who need a higher level of medical attention. Short-term respite stays are accepted, allowing family caregivers temporary relief while ensuring their loved ones receive continuous supervision. A full rehabilitation department provides on-site physical therapy, which includes individualized treatment plans, progressive mobility exercises, and post-surgical strengthening programs. Nurses coordinate closely with physicians, therapists, and social workers so that each resident’s clinical needs, medication schedules, and rehabilitation goals are reviewed and adjusted without delay.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the center maintains an interdisciplinary care model that emphasizes early detection of health changes and rapid intervention. Residents benefit from routine assessments, structured care conferences, and discharge planning that begins on admission to support a return home whenever possible. Case managers assist with insurance coordination and equipment ordering, while licensed social workers address emotional and psychosocial needs that often accompany long-term illness or recovery.
Accommodations at Hunterdon Care Center include a mix of private and shared rooms outfitted with practical conveniences such as in-room phones and Wi-Fi access, though not every unit offers every feature. Several rooms allow small pets, subject to community approval, and many overlook landscaped grounds or the outdoor garden. Residents have access to common spaces that include a library and computer lounge for reading or staying connected online, as well as furnished outdoor areas designed for safe ambulation and fresh air.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with menus overseen by a registered dietitian to meet standard, therapeutic, and cultural diet requirements. Staff members monitor intake and provide assistance as needed, while alternative selections are available for residents with specialized nutritional goals. Family members may arrange to dine with their loved ones, and seasonal fare is incorporated when possible to support variety and balanced nutrition.
An activity center serves as the main hub for structured recreation, hosting daily programs that range from group exercise classes to discussion groups. Residents interested in creative pursuits can participate in scheduled arts and crafts sessions that promote fine-motor skills and social interaction. Regular event calendars are posted in advance so that individuals and families can plan participation around therapy or medical appointments.
