Lopatcong Center sits in Warren County and classifies as a nursing facility, and you'll find people get both short and long-term care here, so some folks come right after a hospital stay for rehabilitation and others end up needing more permanent help, and there's also respite and palliative care if families need a hand for a while or when care needs change. There are skilled nursing services, assisted senior living, staffing services, and a strong nursing team with both Dr. Thaddeus Aversa, D.O., for wound care and geriatrics, and Dr. Napinder Singh as Director of Cardiology, plus Lynn Sysock, RN, PHH, as Director of Nursing, who knows a lot about critical care and telemetry. You'll find accountable care services, physician services, and on-site registered nurses and medical directors to look after medical needs.
They manage quite a number of specialty therapies and services, like respiratory therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, and they also handle orthopedic rehab, memory care for people with Alzheimer's, and bariatric, colostomy, psychiatric, dental, podiatry, vision, and wound care, so if someone's had a joint replacement, an injury, or even an amputation, there's care for that too. Staff can deliver pain management, heparin therapy, IV therapy, total parenteral nutrition, medication management, and set up things like audiology and pharmacy delivery, and everyone works on individual treatment plans, nurse care planning, and case management, which can mean help with discharge planning or long-term transitions.
You'll see private and semi-private rooms, some spacious and with private bathrooms, all fully air-conditioned and with climate controls so residents stay comfortable, and the gardens, courtyards, and scenic suburban views bring a nice touch of the outside in, while activity and fitness rooms-you'll find both-give places for exercises and group events or just a change of scene if you want it. People stay engaged with social activities, events, and programs-there are cultural, religious, educational, and recreation activities, and those in memory care have a safer and more structured environment with security features to help keep them safe. Food is available with restaurant-style dining and an always-available menu at their café, with options for family gatherings in private dining rooms-but some residents do mention issues with food quality in their reviews. They offer nutritional support, dietary services, and mail service, and if you need it, there's an on-site beauty salon/barber, cable TV in rooms, and computers with internet access. Pets are allowed, laundry and housekeeping are on site, there's mail and newspaper service, and wireless internet and phone service means people can keep in contact with family or friends. The center stays smoke-free and offers an emergency response system for peace of mind, and coordinated transportation if residents have appointments out in town. Lopatcong Center participates with organizations like the Alliance for Care at Home and the Health Care Association of New Jersey, and they're also recognized for home health care and hospice, in case those needs come up too. Everything comes together as a family-style community and a team that aims to give care that fits each resident's needs, focusing on medical, physical, and emotional well-being in a setting that brings comfort even when it's not perfect, which is about as much as anyone can ask for.
