Harborage sits right along the Hudson River at 7600 River Road in North Bergen, New Jersey, and folks seem to like how easy it is to get to, since it's part of the larger Hackensack Meridian Health network and connected to a 197-bed not-for-profit medical center that serves the neighborhood. The nursing facility has 247 beds and offers full rehabilitation services, ready care for urgent needs, and step-by-step support for people getting better after surgery, heart trouble, or even pneumonia, with board-certified physicians who keep a close eye on every detail. The Harborage's main hospital, which has 186 beds, also handles emergencies with special Rapid Evaluation Units that try to cut down on waiting, and they use things like pneumatic tube systems for fast lab work, real-time patient tracking, and digital radiology. There's all sorts of equipment for cardiac care, stroke help, ventilator support, and even reworked nursing stations that make it easier for nurses to get their work done and still give people some privacy.
The facilities underwent a batch of upgrades and renovations, with new rooms for patients, better waiting areas, and improved spaces for staff, trying to keep things safe and comfortable. There are plenty of distinct areas-a pediatric care unit, separate areas for behavioral health, and services for people dealing with cancer, orthopedic problems, or issues with the brain, too. For those looking to relax, there are some quiet spaces designed for unwinding, as the place has a focus on holistic wellness, and you'll find several services meant to help with relaxation and getting back on your feet. Harborage offers community outreach programs and health education, picking up a Community Outreach Award from the New Jersey Hospital Association along the way, which people say means they take being part of the neighborhood seriously. Because of its spot on the Hudson waterfront, Harborage also plays a part in disaster response for the river area and city nearby, which has come in handy during storms and other emergencies. The amenities and care at the Harborage are set up to fit what older adults and folks recovering from illnesses or surgery need, and overall, it's a calm, retreat-like place where residents and patients can rest, get medical help, and take part in different activities as they work on feeling better.
