Arbor Glen Center - Genesis sits in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, and runs as a for-profit nursing facility with 122 beds, and the place connects to Genesis Healthcare, which manages about 200 nursing homes across the country, so there's quite a web of resources, though sometimes the standards don't hold up like they should, and still, the facility earns an overall 4 out of 5 stars from CMS, getting its highest marks in quality measures but only average in health inspections, showing room for improvement. People find the center clean and spacious, with smoke-free, climate-controlled rooms that can be private or semi-private, with private bathrooms and lots of comfortable lounges and well-designed common spaces, plus an activity room, a coffee café, and a private outdoor patio, and pets are allowed too. Residents can join in religious, social, and cultural activities, or use free wireless internet and computer access, and phone service comes standard, so staying connected is pretty straightforward, and there are things like house-keeping, laundry, cable TV, and mail service to keep daily life running smoothly. The dining area does restaurant-style meals and offers in-room and private dining options for families, and there's a beauty salon, barber services, and a little café with menu choices ready throughout the day, which all seems to give people plenty of options for comfort.
Medical services get handled by a full team, including Dr. James Agresti, Sr. as Medical Director and an experienced administrator, Tsega Asefaha, managing things, and the place brings in on-site doctors and therapists for occupational, physical, and speech therapy, with programs like Powerback Rehabilitation focused on helping people recover after hospital stays and orthopedic procedures like joint replacements or injuries. Arbor Glen Center covers assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, dementia care, respiratory therapy, and even more intensive care like hospice and psychiatric support, and they can handle bariatric, colostomy, and wound care, along with pain management, medication management, and dietary needs, so the care menu tries to be broad for different needs. The community provides long-term, short-term, and respite care, plus transition planning when someone leaves the hospital, with case management and discharge planning included, and contracts with managed care insurance are in place for coverage. There's special support for residents with cognitive concerns like reminders, security alarms, and private treatment plans, and families can visit private rooms or join their loved ones in common areas.
There's been one federal fine of $5,000 over the last three years, and the facility has had some violations-mainly around keeping up with infection control, pressure sore care, accurate assessments, and ensuring residents get proper medical and emotional support, so concerns around safety and dignity have been reported, like increased risk of infections, falls, fractures, or social isolation, but there's still documentation of programs in place to support recovery and mental health, like recreational activities, emotional support, and psychiatric services. The Director of Admissions & Marketing, Nemesia, and connections with the National Alliance for Care at Home, plus things like the My Alliance Member Portal, show an organized administrative side and effort to connect to larger networks. Altogether, Arbor Glen Center offers a broad selection of senior care services in a clean, spacious spot with various amenities, but it's important to ask questions about safety, quality, and staff attentiveness before making decisions.
