Leisure Chateau Rehabilitation sits at 962 River Ave in Lakewood, New Jersey, and since 1982 it's provided nursing care and rehab services for people who need short-term or long-term help, and it's a for-profit LLC managed by Leisure Chateau Acquisition LLC since November 2024, with 242 certified beds and an average of 172 residents per day, and the staff includes licensed nurses, therapists, and caregivers who work together with a nurse staffing level of 3.92 nurse hours for each resident every day, though the nurse turnover rate stands at 27.7%, so changes in staff can happen more often than some might prefer, and the facility is privately owned and employs between 51 and 200 people, with the organization headquartered in Lakewood.
The nursing facility offers sub-acute and cardiac rehabilitation, pulmonary therapy, long-term care, respite stays, wound care, pain management, palliative and hospice services, memory care, and special support for residents with Huntington's disease or dementia-there's physical, occupational, and speech therapy, along with cardinal programs for orthopedic and cardiac rehab, and skilled nursing is available at all hours, which is something families tend to appreciate when they're looking for peace of mind and extra help. Resident rooms come fully furnished as private or semi-private options, and renovations are ongoing to make the environment more comfortable, and you'll find air conditioning, wheelchair access, Wi-Fi, an on-site library, and spiritual services for daily needs; there's also a beauty salon and barber service, with onsite restrooms and deliveries.
Meals are glatt kosher and prepared by chefs, with restaurant-style menus and customized diets, and there's a real focus here on Jewish life, so you'll notice Shabbos accommodations-daily minyanim and shiurim in the building, a daily kolel with Yungeliet from the Lakewood community, and uplifting Shabbos meals, with frequent community events, concerts, and a busy Avos Ubanim program in development, and the staff seems especially focused on supporting cultural and religious traditions.
Now, each facility has its oversight, and Leisure Chateau's inspection reports list 18 deficiencies from their last three inspections, including one about infection control that didn't meet federal standards and others connected to nutrition and dietary concerns like not always buying satisfactory food, following menus properly, or getting rid of garbage the right way, and these are documented in the official reports, so that information is public and relevant if someone's looking for transparency. The facility's inspection history covers both standard inspections and those linked to complaints and infection control.
Among the staff, there's MS, CCC-SLP Tova Goldfarb, and Chaim Shaul Jurkanski serves as the patient advocate with over twenty years' experience. You'll see amenities like live entertainment, wellness classes, holiday events, and Shabbos programs, with both clinical offerings and activities aiming to keep the community vibrant and connected. The facility is categorized as a nursing home and rehabilitation center and works closely with local hospitals for post-acute care. More details are available on their website for anyone who might want to look further into what daily life and care at Leisure Chateau Rehabilitation might look like.
