Waterview Center

Waterview Center, located at 536 Ridge Road in Cedar Grove, NJ, is a skilled nursing facility tied to Genesis Eldercare, and folks notice right away that with its 190 beds, the staff provides nursing care for both long-term residents and those only staying a short while for rehab, because you see, they've put a focus on helping people recover from surgery, illness, or other medical events so they can hopefully return home as soon as it's safe, and then for people who need to stay longer, like those with chronic conditions or memory issues, the center offers 24-hour nursing alongside specialized services such as memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, hospice care, renal care with help getting to dialysis, wound care, respiratory therapy for things like COPD, cardiac care, orthopedic rehabilitation, and stroke recovery, which all add up to a wide range of healthcare and support for people needing different types of help. You'll also find on-site independent living options, assisted living, and home care, so residents stay within the same community even as their needs change, and services aim to support independence and good quality of life through personalized care plans, attending physicians, physical, speech, and occupational therapy, plus discharge planning and case management to make transitions smoother. Waterview Center takes Medicaid, Medi-Cal, and Medicare as payment options, accepts both short and long-term stays, and focuses on making the place comfortable and family-oriented, with activities for social, religious, and educational interests, so the center works to build real relationships among staff and residents, and the leadership likes to keep a close watch with a hands-on approach, which might make things feel more personal. Transportation and parking are available, with complimentary transportation for medical and dialysis appointments, and the center also offers respite care, sub-acute care programs, wellness and dementia services, plus help with nutrition management. While there's not a lot of detailed information on every specific service, the facility is classified as a Nursing/Rehab Center under senior living, has a continuum of care, and tries to create a loyal, approachable place where residents can feel at home, all under Genesis HealthCare.
