    Great rehab but staffing concerns

    I had a mixed stay. The clinical and therapy teams, nurses and many aides were warm, professional, and went above and beyond - rehab and activities were excellent and the place can feel clean, welcoming, and home-like. But chronic understaffing and inconsistent nursing caused dangerous lapses (missed meds, unanswered call buttons, hygiene and delayed care) and poor communication from front-desk/administration. I'd recommend for strong rehab needs if you confirm staffing and safety, but be cautious and watchful.

    About Meadowbrook Respiratory & Nursing Center

    Meadowbrook Respiratory & Nursing Center sits over at 38 Freneau Ave in Matawan, New Jersey, serving as a skilled nursing and respiratory care facility with 130 certified beds and usually about 102 residents each day, and it stands out for its dedicated Vent Unit, which has 22 beds and offers 24-hour onsite respiratory therapists, so if someone needs specialized lung or ventilator care, this place is set up for that. The center provides short-term rehab if someone's coming from the hospital before they go home, and offers long-term nursing care for folks who need a lot of help, especially if they're frail or dependent on constant nursing, plus it covers subacute rehabilitation, cardiac care, and wound care, drawing on the skills of therapists in physical, occupational, and speech therapy. There's an experienced cardiopulmonary team and the facility has been recognized for its innovative respiratory care and technology, and the whole campus recently went through a renovation, bringing in new amenities, fresh spaces, private and semi-private suites, and small comforts like an onsite hair salon and recreational activities.

    Meadowbrook sits on a CCRC campus, so if someone starts to need less intensive care, they can move smoothly to assisted living with The Village at Meadowbrook. The staff runs on an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together social workers, recreational staff, and rehabilitation directors for different needs, and the center has a total staff of 51-200 folks, according to the data. Nurse staffing hours run a little under state averages at 3.54 hours per resident per day, and the nurse turnover rate is higher than usual at 55.7%. Inspection reports have shown 20 total deficiencies, including three related to infection control, with mentions of inspection delays and no standard inspection in over two years. In the past, the center had violations around resident rights and quality of care, though there was no actual harm, only potential for more than minimal harm, and there have been infection control citations as well.

    Ownership comes through Mw Snf Operations Holdings LLC and several related trusts and individuals, and the facility's connected with Atlas Healthcare. There's no public information on the day-to-day managers. Meadowbrook offers a range of services and tries to cover everything from advanced wound care to respite care, all in a setting focused on healing and supporting care transitions.
