Advanced Subacute Rehabilitation Center At Sewell sits at 685 Salina Road in Sewell, NJ, and it's got 139 certified beds as a for-profit nursing facility with a clear focus on recovery and subacute rehabilitation, so it mainly helps people who need extended care after a hospital stay or surgery. The center has ownership ties to the Family Of Caring Healthcare group, with Edward Friedman and Nathan Friedman as the main indirect owners, and Edward Friedman has handled management since 2014. People will notice the facility centers its care on safety and recovery, with custom-designed hallways linking to therapy gyms and dining rooms and amenities fitted to long-term and post-acute needs, like family rooms, lounges with computers, private rooms with flat-panel TVs, secure internet, telephones, private baths, and even a therapy gym.
The nurses and medical staff offer 24-hour care, and the nurse staffing hours per resident are higher than what you'd see in most places, though the nurse turnover rate is also a bit higher than average. The staff can help with daily activities and have specialized training for medical and post-surgical needs, so you'll see things like wound care, pain management, IV therapy, nutritional counseling for diabetics, urology, cardiac and respiratory care, and even tracheostomy services. There are programs for stroke recovery, orthopedic rehabilitation, rapid recovery, post-surgical therapy, and they also offer hospice care, long-term care, respite care, and even a Korean Program at Park Ridge for Korean-speaking patients.
The facility tries to make things comfortable for residents by offering daily stimulation like art therapy, movies, games, music, live entertainment, religious services, pet visits, and group activities such as gardening, theme parties, and educational series. You'll also find beauty and barber services, weekly manicures, activities for those with vision loss, daily papers, and movies on big TV screens, and there are communal spaces where families can visit, sit together, or enjoy some quiet time. The building is described as tranquil and pleasant, and they try to help residents transition back home when they're ready.
While many services and features are meant to support safety and comfort, the facility's inspection history does show some areas of concern. There's been a deficiency around how food is handled and served, which could have meant risk, but didn't lead to direct harm. The administration has gotten citations for not always managing resources well enough, which affected many people, and inspectors cited the center with a severe deficiency about keeping areas free from accident hazards. The focus on accident prevention and supervision is clear, but the citations do suggest some risks have been present at times. The Advanced Subacute Rehabilitation Center At Sewell blends these strengths and weaknesses as it serves seniors who need advanced rehabilitative care, and it does so as a family-run operation with a mix of healthcare and comfort-focused amenities.
