My Visit To Oak Ridge Rehab And Nursing In Wayne, NJ
I recently had the occasion to visit the Oak Ridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, located at 261 Terhune Drive, in Wayne, NJ.
Their executive director is Sharon Loganzo.
Oak Ridge is part of the Revera Healthcare System of Skilled Nursing and Rehab facilities
Oak Ridge is a nice facility located in an area I am quite familiar with.
They provide different skilled care services, as well as short term rehabilitation via Premier Therapy Services (a subsidiary of the Revera Healthcare Group)
Why am I familiar with this area?
Well of course it is because the magnificent and 5 Star rated Regency Gardens Nursing and Post-acute Rehabilitation Center is also located in Wayne, NJ.
There aren’t enough adjectives to adequately describe the beauty of the facility and grounds, the exceptional rehab program and the incredibly compassionate care!
You really need to tour the facility and see their sub-acute rehab program (best in New Jersey) and meet their staff, to fully appreciate what I’m telling you.
Take me up on it and go see for yourself.

SeniorAdvisor.com Promotes Regency On Twitter!
Our friends at SeniorAdvisor.com promoted us on Twitter this morning vis a vis an article I wrote for them recently.
We deeply appreciate it!

Our Weekly Article On Wellness.com; Advanced Directives
Our friends at Wellness.com just published my latest (weekly) article entitled “Advanced Directives Checklist.”
I think it’s a great and important read (if I say so myself) and feedback has been very good thus far.
I’ll include the first paragraph below and encourage you all to click on the link and read the article in its entirety on Wellness.com
What Are Advanced Directives?
Advanced directives is a written statement of a person’s wishes regarding medical treatment, often including a living will, made to ensure those wishes are carried out should the person be unable to communicate them to a doctor.
Of course, this is often a vital component to consider for seniors living in nursing homes (and their families).
I’ve put together a checklist to aid folks in this process.
My Visit To Willow Creek Rehabilitation and Care Center In Somerset NJ
I’ve had several occasions to visit the Willow Creek Rehab and Care Center on Easton Avenue in Somerset NJ.

Doggy Day Care (and Rehab?)
Dogcamp, the first pet-friendly nursing home, has opened in Binasco, Milan.

My Visit To Roosevelt Care Center At Old Bridge, NJ
Late last night I paid a visit to the Roosevelt Care Center at Old Bridge, NJ.
This is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center located at 1133 Marlboro Rd. Old Bridge NJ 08857.

30 Day Readmissions Rate: What’s Behind The Number
I picked up a fantastic article today by Kevin McMahon, MPA, LNHA, writing for LTL.
Both the acute care and post-acute care (PAC) industries have their full attention focused on the much discussed and hyper-analyzed 30-day readmission metric. On the acute care side, this number determines whether a reimbursement penalty will be applied—affecting revenue streams. On the PAC side, the number increasingly will be used to judge the quality of PAC partners and ultimately communicate that information to discharging patients. High stakes stuff for sure. Unfortunately the fixation on this magical metric might be obscuring various subtle and more nuanced aspects of this readmission puzzle.
As I have considered this metric and its implications both as a PAC administrator and in my current job on the acute care side of the of the healthcare world, I have stumbled on three not-so-obvious angles that PAC providers need to be aware of and, if at issue, develop a means to address.
Highest Accolades For Regency Heritage In Somerset, NJ!!
Roslyn H. recently had this to say about Regency Jewish Heritage in Somerset:
| Comments: | I would like this comment to be seen by Mr. David Gross my mom was admitted last May to Regency Heritage under Medicaid. Then in January she inherited what we consider a large amount of money. All parties were notified and we made the transition to private pay very easily. What I really wanted to say to you was that the care is just the same, and that is truly a compliment to you and your staff. To know that when my mom had no money her good care was the same as it is now. I do hope you get the jist of what I am saying and thank you from the bottom of my heart. |
