Elizabeth Nursing and Rehabilitation Center provides both short-term and long-term care for seniors, and over the past 50 years has focused on honest, attentive service with everyone working to keep each resident comfortable and respected, whether they're staying for recovery or making this their home in the long run. There's a special focus here on providing kosher-certified meals and care under Rabbi Teitz, making it the only place like that in Elizabeth, NJ, which takes care of those unique cultural and dietary needs in a way that brings peace of mind to residents and families who require kosher. Residents can count on 24-hour skilled nursing with Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants who provide help around the clock and check in regularly, and all care is tailored with the idea of restoring or maintaining each person's best possible level of functioning-so there are physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language pathology services that help people rebuild strength, balance, and independence, while the speech services also focus on safer swallowing and fewer risks with eating or drinking.
Rooms include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, WiFi, air-conditioning, telephones, and nice furniture, and there's a call button system so someone can always get quick help if they need it. The building itself is smoke-free, and the center is committed to keeping everything clean, with housekeeping, linen, laundry, and maintenance services included. There are several common spaces like a dining room serving kosher and diabetes-friendly meals, a fitness room, a computer center, a small library, a gaming room, a beauty salon, gardens for fresh air, and lots of scheduled activities, community-sponsored programs, day trips, and resident-run events to encourage socializing and engagement. The staff speaks English and includes licensed practitioners ready to provide everything from medication management, mental health support, wound care, podiatry, bathing, dressing, and mobility assistance, to more specific rehab and medical needs, and if someone needs to get somewhere local for a non-medical reason, they can arrange transportation. Those who stay at Elizabeth Nursing and Rehabilitation Center can expect private accommodations and the security of regular supervision in a pleasant and safe environment, with long-term care insurance options and a focus on simply helping people feel as well as they can every day. They're committed to honest, consistent care, but right now aren't taking new patients.
