Excelcare at Wayne is an independently owned healthcare center with 120 beds, licensed under NJ061614, where people can get post-acute rehabilitation and skilled nursing care in a place that looks and feels comfortable, offering both short-term and long-term stays for those who need them, and when you walk through the brightly decorated halls you see updated suites, open gathering areas, and wide walkways through park-like grounds that have gardens, gazebos, waterfalls, fountains, fish ponds, and quiet spots for both socializing and quiet reflection. The staff works with each patient and their family to build a personalized care plan, focusing on what each person really needs, with an approach that looks after physical and emotional health at the same time, and you'll notice both part-time and 24-hour nursing on hand plus other services like medication management, psychiatric support, skilled nursing, hospice care, and help with daily needs, working all together for a feeling of safety in a secured, gated facility.
People can take part in a full set of organized activities, like arts and crafts, literary and music programs, games, outings, horticultural activities, and lots of wellness programs that range from Tai Chi and yoga to stretching sessions in a fitness room with equipment and plenty of space, and those who want to worship can join regular religious services without leaving the site. Meals get served in a communal dining space with a choice of tasty foods, or you can pick room service or even guest meals if family stops in, and there are always free coffee and snacks at nourishment stations. Room amenities include Wi-Fi, cable TV, and spots to set up a computer or just spend time in the common areas watching TV or chatting with neighbors, and pet policies let people bring their pets along.
The care extends to help with at-home rehabilitation and joint recovery, and Dr. Jean Bachar leads the physical therapy team with a focus on musculoskeletal and regenerative medicine, making sure those who've had joint replacements-like knees, hips, or ankles, under Medicare's CJR Model-get the attention they need. There's also support for veterans with VA aid assistance, help for families handling Medicaid applications, and a regular schedule of tours so visitors can meet staff and residents in person. Other services cover laundry, housekeeping, maintenance, transportation out to shop or run errands, and guest parking for visitors, so everyone can focus on healing and comfort in a community that encourages social ties and staying active.
