Jewish Home At Rockleigh operates as a nursing home and offers both short- and long-term care. Residents can be admitted for extended stays or for respite periods when a caregiver needs temporary relief. On-site physicians oversee medical plans, while licensed nurses provide round-the-clock monitoring and medication management. Physical and speech therapists deliver goal-oriented rehabilitation programs, and therapy schedules can be adapted for either post-hospital recovery or ongoing maintenance. All of these services are integrated so that residents who come for respite care receive the same clinical attention available to long-term residents.
The community is a secured setting, limiting access to authorized staff, residents, and visitors to reduce the risk of wandering and to maintain overall safety. Care teams include registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, therapists, and social workers who coordinate care plans and adjust them as needs change. Electronic medical records through the Skynet system support accurate medication administration and timely updates to treatment notes. Security and clinical personnel are on duty at all times to handle emergencies or routine concerns without delay.
Private and shared rooms are available, although not every unit includes every feature listed. Depending on the room selected, residents may have central air conditioning, cable television, in-unit washers and dryers, Wi-Fi, and phone service. Wheelchair-accessible showers are installed in many bathrooms, and housekeeping is provided routinely. Outdoor areas with walking paths and gardens, along with an indoor library and computer lounge, give residents places to read, connect online, or spend time outside. Parking is on site for visitors and for residents who still drive.
Three meals a day are prepared in the community kitchen, and staff can accommodate standard, kosher, or vegetarian menus. Snacks and beverages are available between meals, and a coffee shop on the premises offers an additional venue for light fare and social interaction. Nutrition staff monitor special diets and coordinate with the medical team to ensure consistency with each resident’s care plan.
Daily life is supplemented by an activity center that hosts bingo, arts and crafts sessions, television and movie nights, yoga, and other group programs. Residents can spend time outdoors when weather permits and sign up for scheduled social outings in the larger community. The activity calendar is designed to balance physical movement, cognitive engagement, and social interaction.
