Preferred Care At Old Bridge, LLC is licensed as a nursing home, providing around-the-clock skilled nursing care for residents who need a higher level of clinical oversight than assisted living can offer. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants are on duty 24 hours a day to manage medications, monitor vital signs, and deliver hands-on support with bathing, dressing, and mobility. The facility also coordinates rehabilitative therapies—physical, occupational, and speech—to help residents maintain or regain functional abilities after illness or surgery.

Beyond general nursing services, the community pays particular attention to chronic disease management, with diabetes care being a core capability. Staff track blood glucose levels, administer insulin or oral medications as prescribed, and provide dietary guidance in collaboration with a registered dietitian. The medical team is experienced in wound care, post-operative recovery, and other complex clinical needs, and on-call physicians are available for emergent issues. Lab work, imaging coordination, and pharmacy services are arranged on site or through nearby providers to minimize disruptions to residents’ routines.

Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms equipped with hospital-grade adjustable beds, emergency call systems, and accessible bathrooms. Some rooms feature roll-in showers, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, cable television, and Wi-Fi, but not all accommodations have all the features. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are performed regularly to keep living spaces clean and safe, and common areas such as lounges and activity rooms provide additional space for visits with family or participation in group programs.

Meals are prepared daily in the facility’s kitchen under the guidance of a dietitian, with menus designed to meet both standard nutritional requirements and physician-ordered therapeutic diets, including carbohydrate-controlled options for residents managing diabetes. Residents typically dine in a communal dining room, with staff assistance provided as needed for seating, feeding, or adaptive utensils; tray service to the room is available for those who are ill or prefer privacy. Snacks and hydration stations are offered throughout the day, and seasonal menu reviews help accommodate changing dietary preferences or clinical directives.
