Carnegie Post Acute Care at Princeton LLC is a 180-bed nursing home at 5000 Windrow Drive in Princeton, Mercer County, New Jersey, administered by Chaim Czapnik and owned by the principals Mendy Piller, Moshe Brodt, and Yaakov Dorfman. It runs two distinct programs under one roof: subacute rehabilitation for shorter-stay residents recovering from surgery or acute illness, and long-term nursing care for those who need sustained clinical support. The facility accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay.
At 80% occupancy across 180 beds, the community is running well below full capacity, which typically means availability is not a barrier for incoming residents. The average stay of 124 days reflects the dual-track model: long enough to include genuine long-term residents, short enough to suggest a meaningful volume of post-acute discharges.
Rehabilitation services are on-site, supported by an employed physical therapy team. Respite care rounds out the service offering for families navigating time-limited care needs. Total nursing coverage runs 3 hours and 48 minutes per resident per day, spread across RNs, LPNs, and certified nursing aides, with staffing present around the clock. The physical therapy team logs 5 minutes of PT per resident per day, which is a figure worth understanding in context of how subacute cases are scheduled and grouped.
State inspections across a six-year window identified recurring concerns in areas like documentation practices, staffing levels, infection prevention, and life safety. More recent inspection cycles reflect a shift toward improved compliance, with the latest review on file yielding no deficiencies. No fines or enforcement actions appear in the available records. It is a trajectory worth noting: not a clean history, but a facility that appears to have moved in the right direction.
The neighborhood is genuinely walkable. A Walk Score of 95 puts it at near-pedestrian-paradise territory, which matters practically for visiting family and outpatient-style errands. For residents with the mobility to take advantage of it, Princeton is right outside.
Carnegie Post Acute Care at Princeton serves the full post-acute-to-long-term continuum, with on-site rehabilitation, 24-hour nursing, and acceptance of Medicaid and Medicare, and its location at the center of Princeton makes it one of the more accessible nursing homes in Mercer County.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New Jersey
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New Jersey?
Assisted living in New Jersey supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New Jersey?
Assisted living in New Jersey is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does New Jersey Medicaid cover assisted living?
New Jersey Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New Jersey) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 325 assisted living facilities in New Jersey. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New Jersey?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New Jersey, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in New Jersey?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
