Anchor Care And Rehabilitation Center in Hazlet, NJ provides nursing-home care designed for residents who need continuous clinical oversight. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to handle medication administration, wound care, and coordination with physicians, while certified nursing assistants support residents with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. Rehabilitation therapists are available on-site to deliver physical, occupational, and speech therapy as prescribed, ensuring a coordinated plan of care aimed at maintaining or improving functional abilities.

Some rooms also have in-room climate controls, cable television, and Wi-Fi access, though not all accommodations include every one of these features. Housekeeping and laundry services are provided, and maintenance staff handle routine upkeep to keep living areas clean and functional.
Dining services are structured around three daily meals prepared on-site, with menus overseen by a registered dietitian to meet general nutritional guidelines and therapeutic diets, including those required for diabetes management. Residents can expect hot entrée selections, lighter fare, and snacks between meals, all served in a communal dining room that accommodates mobility aids and wheelchairs. Alternate meal choices are available upon request, but specific options can vary from day to day.
Residents have access to a library and computer lounge that offers a quiet space for reading, internet use, and email access. The area is staffed periodically to assist with basic computer needs, and materials are rotated to keep selections current.
