Teaneck Nursing Center sits in a welcoming spot with a pine-paneled entrance and an old willow tree, and folks have called it a nursing home for over thirty years now, which gives it that old sense of being settled in and cared for. The place stays open all day and night, offering both nursing home services and assisted living care, so people can get help with things like bathing, dressing, or medication at any hour, seven days a week, and the nursing staff and nurse practitioners are always around. There are 107 beds here, and each person gets a care plan, whether they've come for long-term living or for something short like rehab, since the BeneFIT Physical Therapy clinic does physical, occupational, and speech therapy every day-even evenings and weekends-covering things like hip or knee replacement, stroke recovery, heart and lung issues, sports injuries, or just needing help with arthritis.
The place handles just about every type of medical care, from wound care for diabetes or surgery, to infusion therapy with a full clinical team, to memory care for dementia, or pain and medication management when things are complex. You'll find programs called Connect™ Cardiac/Pulmonary and things like transition-to-home support, stroke and amputation recovery, diabetic teaching, orthopedic care, post-surgical therapy, and even hospice and palliative care when folks need comfort. There's also respite care, so folks who are just staying for a little while, maybe to recover or while a caregiver gets a break, will still get nursing, meals, medication help, and all the activities.
Activities keep the days full, with arts and crafts, movies, music, outings, cooking classes, and health and wellness programs. There are three dining rooms, and an accomplished chef serves meals, while a dietitian keeps an eye on nutrition, and if anyone wants, meal choices suit all kinds of health needs. The rooms here come with kitchens or kitchenettes, and folks can use washers and dryers, cable TV, internet, and be as independent as they like. Game rooms, a fitness center, a barbershop, and salon bring some life to the place, and the building's got safety features like a sprinkler system plus handicap access for walkers and wheelchairs, along with guest parking.
Family Of Caring At Teaneck, LLC owns the place, and Ms. Miriam Morris leads the administration, with the staff aiming to treat every resident with care and respect, no matter the level of independence or medical need. Long-term care insurance is an option, and the facility accepts Medicare and most insurance plans. The clinical staff includes doctors, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, a registered dietitian, and social workers, all making sure care is thorough. Teaneck Nursing Center's won various accreditations and has received state inspections without finding problems, and the goal always stays the same: keep care solid, make the place feel like home, and offer all the help and support anyone could need in their later years.
