Providence Nursing & Rehab sits at 439 Bellevue Ave in Trenton, NJ, and is part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, so you'll find different living and care options under one roof, and they've got skilled nursing care called Belle Care Nursing and Rehabilitation Center right there for when people need more hands-on help, sometimes after a hospital stay, sometimes for long-term needs. The place is a for-profit facility, owned by a company, and they accept both Medicare and Medicaid which helps quite a few folks pay for services. Residents have furnished rooms with private bathrooms, cable TV, a kitchenette, phones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, and there's a pretty nice outdoor patio with walking paths and gardens, so folks can go outside if they want. The nursing care is set up so there's staff on hand for 12 to 16 hours and then a 24-hour call and supervision system keeps watch, and they've got emergency alert systems in place for safety, which gives families some peace of mind. The team helps with the basics like bathing, dressing, getting up or transfers, managing medications, and cares for folks who can't walk or need non-ambulatory care, along with rehabilitation like physical, occupational, and speech therapies, so if someone's working to regain movement or speech, they get support. They focus on short-term recovery after an illness, long-term care for ongoing needs, respite care if a caregiver needs a break, end-of-life hospice, and there are hospital intervention options too, like a 30-day stay after a setback. Providence tries to tailor the experience to each resident-people can get personal medical services that even cover dental and psychiatric needs, and there are secure units designed for memory care if someone has dementia or other memory issues, plus the staff includes bilingual people who speak English and Spanish.
Amenities include restaurant-style dining with nutrition guided by a dietitian, so meals try to match health needs, plus on-site beautician and barber services, daily group activities, arts and game rooms, music and exercise programs, a fitness room, a theater, and spaces for residents to lead their own projects. They set up a lot of learning and social events, as well as cultural and wellness programs, so residents who want to stay engaged have options, and staff give help coordinating moves into the facility. Living there means 24-hour nursing and personal care if needed, and Providence works closely with local hospitals to make sure care continues smoothly if someone transfers in after a medical event. They do things to encourage independence, but help's always there for people who need extra support, including post-acute rehab and therapies for conditions like stroke or dementia, and sometimes folks go in just for a short time and then recover enough to go home. Facility quality and resident satisfaction show up in their community score, which Providence updates, and the provider directory and nurse program information get refreshed each month, with printed versions available on request. All the staff speak English, and the environment tries to feel homelike-nothing too fancy or over-the-top, just about providing comfort and dignity, with a focus on the basics, medical care, and helping people keep as much independence as possible, and there's always someone to help if issues pop up. They're not taking new patients right now, but when they do, they check that providers meet Providence Health Plan standards and follow all the right licensing rules.
