Golden LivingCenter - Old Bridge

Golden LivingCenter-Old Bridge is a nursing home and senior living community at 6989 NJ-18 in Old Bridge, New Jersey, that serves about 140 residents and provides many types of care for older adults, and there's a lot to its day-to-day, really, because this facility covers assisted living, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, independent living for those who can handle most things on their own, skilled nursing for those who need more support, as well as home care, respite, hospice, and rehabilitation-so whatever someone needs tends to get sorted here. The staff keeps a close watch twenty-four hours a day, and you'll see some specialized memory care units with secure spaces and memory activities for folks who get confused or tend to wander off. Meals get served restaurant-style with attention on taste and nutrition, and they work with special diets like for diabetics. Certified Home Health Aides and companions are there, and therapists visit for physical, occupational, and speech therapy as part of regular rehabilitation, with about six physical therapy sessions each week for residents who need them, plus there's wound care, dialysis, cardiac and stroke support, and pain management, in addition to podiatry, hearing, and other kinds of health services. For daily needs, the staff helps out with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication management, and personal care, and residents can always use the 24-hour call system if anything comes up, with supervision around the clock. Amenities include air conditioning, cable TV in rooms, Wi-Fi, a computer center, a garden, outdoor walking space, a salon/barbershop, a communal dining room, a kitchenette, a store, fitness room, and space for games and activities, as well as a small library and room for spiritual or religious activities, plus community transportation to get people out and about. The Summer Hill Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is part of this, and you'll often hear it described as a friendly place, with staff and administration who talk things through and act fast if someone reports a problem or concern, so people feel like they're listened to. Folks get exercise programs, mental wellness support, and activities designed to help them stay social and active, and the meals use quality ingredients to support health. The building itself is Medicare and Medicaid certified, has been around since 1993, and is known for offering both short-term and long-term nursing care, with support for everything from day-to-day activities to more complex medical needs, and with lots of chances to join in on activities or just have quiet time in the garden or common areas.
