CareOne at Wellington sits at 301 Union St, Hackensack, NJ, pretty close to Hackensack University Medical Center and major highways like Routes 4 and 17, and the place has staff who speak English and have experience with different levels of care, so they've got registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, and nursing directors all working with residents, and what folks usually notice on visiting the place is that they offer both private and shared rooms, with the common spaces feeling warm, and the garden and chapel giving some quiet places to relax, and even though the main focus is skilled nursing care, they've got a big range of services, so there's assisted living, independent living, memory care with dementia-certified staff, sub-acute rehab that runs seven days a week, and a long list of medical specialties like advanced wound care, cardiac management, pain management, orthopedic rehabilitation, and pulmonary care with ventilator programs and all sorts of things a person with complex medical needs might look for, and CareOne at Wellington also handles nephrology, infectious disease care, psychiatry, hospice and palliative care, as well as respite care for short stays, plus there are on-site physicians covering internal medicine, podiatry, ophthalmology, and dental needs.
The rooms feel spacious and cozy, and the building's got recent renovations, so it's comfortable but the style is more about homelike touches than anything fancy, and though they've got a culinary program, there's also a coffee bar, social activities staff, and a recreation team who keep things going for residents who want to stay active, and sometimes you see families gathering in communal spaces or out in the garden, which adds to the sense of community and makes people feel less alone.
They say they make personalized care plans for each person, and the clinical team covers long-term care, short-term rehab, post-acute recovery, and even transitions to long-term chronic care, and the staff likes to help both the senior residents and their families understand options, which can feel overwhelming but the social services folks and spiritual support are there to help with the whole process, whether someone needs memory support, rehab after surgery, or just a safe and steady daily routine, and the comforts of the rooms and common areas, with warm decor and tranquil gardens, seem to be set up so that seniors feel secure and at home, even though right now, CareOne at Wellington is not accepting new patients, so touring or applying isn't possible until that changes, and though amenities like dining rooms aren't described in detail, the focus stays on health, safety, and comfort throughout the place.
