Bridgeway Care & Rehabilitation Center at Hillsborough sits on Amwell Road in Hillsborough, New Jersey, and folks around here know it for offering a wide range of nursing care, rehabilitation, and senior living services. The family-owned place, now with third-generation family involvement, focuses on both sub-acute rehab and long-term skilled nursing care, and they've earned recognition from U.S. News and Newsweek, landing the #13 spot for Best Nursing Home in New Jersey for 2025, plus the 2024 AHCA/NCAL Bronze National Quality Award. There's a strong focus on person-centered care, with teams of nurses, certified nursing assistants, and therapists on duty around the clock, and regular family communication led by a physician who directs care. People who need short-term therapy, like after joint surgery, stroke, or cardiac events, can use their comprehensive rehabilitation services, which include physical, occupational, and speech therapies every day of the week, and those who stay longer benefit from restorative and skilled nursing programs that aim to help each person function at their best for as long as possible.
Avalon Assisted Living at Hillsborough, connected to the same group, handles assisted living and recently expanded memory care for folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, so the whole setup covers a full continuum of care-skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, respite, home therapy, and assisted living at both Hillsborough and Bridgewater. There's also an outpatient therapy service, advanced pain management programs, and therapies delivered right at home by Bridgeway Care at Home therapists. Bridgeway tries to address specific health needs, with dedicated teams using state-of-the-art rehab technology, including virtual rehab equipment and a "transition to home" plan that aims to get people back to their daily routines as safely and quickly as possible. The care staff also use specialized programs for hip and knee replacement, stroke recovery, cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and orthopedic rehabilitation, and the team is trained to provide emergency and clinical support services for those who need them.
Bridgeway doubles down on social support by offering daily activities, crafts, music, movies, bingo, bowling, seasonal events, and an activities calendar split between the second and third floors, so residents aren't just sitting around, plus everyone gets to enjoy the outdoor courtyards and elegant dining room, which are nice for getting a breath of fresh air or sharing meals. The center's doors are open to people looking for short-term respite stays as well, and each person gets an interdisciplinary team to help with a plan centering on their individual needs, so whether someone needs help recovering from illness or managing long-term health problems, they'll find services-rehab, memory care, therapy, skilled nursing-all under one roof and supported by a tradition of steady, compassionate family-run care.
