Barn Hill Care Center in Newton, NJ operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing 24-hour clinical oversight for residents who need round-the-clock monitoring. Licensed nurses manage medication schedules, wound care, and post-operative recovery. The on-site rehabilitation department offers structured physical therapy for residents recovering from surgery, injury, or illness, and a respite care program allows short-term stays for individuals whose primary caregivers need a break. Clinicians also maintain specialized diabetes management protocols that include blood-glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and nutrition coordination with the dietary team.
Beyond direct medical interventions, the staff supports everyday personal needs such as bathing, grooming, mobility assistance, and continence care, tailoring services to each resident’s care plan. Regular care conferences keep families informed and ensure adjustments as health conditions change. Social workers coordinate discharge planning or transitions to other care settings when appropriate, and a registered dietitian collaborates with nursing staff to balance therapeutic diets with individual preferences.
Accommodations at Barn Hill vary, and not every room includes every feature. Options include private or shared rooms, many with central air conditioning, cable television, wireless internet access, and telephone connections. Select rooms offer scenic views of the surrounding grounds, and common areas feature a fireplace and computer stations with internet access. The property is pet friendly, maintains attractive outdoor areas and gardens, and provides routine housekeeping so residents can focus on recovery rather than daily chores.
Meals are provided three times a day in a communal dining room, with snacks available between meals. The culinary team prepares menus that can be modified for texture, calorie count, or carbohydrate control to align with physician orders—an important element for residents receiving diabetes care. Residents who prefer to dine in their rooms may request tray service, and dietitian oversight helps ensure adequate hydration and nutritional balance.
Residents can spend free time in the activity center where scheduled programs include games, exercise classes, and group discussions. A library and computer lounge supplies printed materials, internet access, and a quiet space for reading or staying in touch with family.
