Masonic Village at Burlington

902 Jacksonville Rd, Burlington, NJ 08016
Overview of Masonic Village at Burlington

Masonic Village at Burlington is a 264-bed nursing home on Jacksonville Road in Burlington, New Jersey. It’s a large facility by any measure, and it sits in a moderately walkable pocket of the city (Walk Score 68), where residents’ families can knock out some errands on foot without needing a car for everything.

The staffing numbers here are notable: 5 hours and 32 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day, with registered nurses contributing about an hour of that and LPNs adding another 1 hour 19 minutes. Rehabilitation services and respite care are both available on-site, alongside a doctor on staff and around-the-clock staffing. Short-term and long-term stays are both options, as is home care.

Right now, the building is running at 43% occupancy, with 113 of its 264 beds filled. That’s a lot of unused capacity for a facility this size. State inspections here have tended to focus on infection prevention, emergency preparedness, staffing credentials, dietary service, resident rights, and fall prevention.

Coverage-wise, Masonic Village accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, which opens the door for families regardless of how they’re planning to pay. Between the rehab and respite offerings and the staffing hours reported, this is a facility built to handle both short-term recovery after a hospital stay and longer-term nursing care, in a building with considerable room to grow into.

Overview of The Village at Meadowbrook

Respite care, memory care, assisted living, skilled nursing, and nursing home care are the five things The Village at Meadowbrook covers in Matawan, NJ. Assisted living means a resident gets help with bathing, dressing, and medication. Memory care puts supervision and a secured setting together for a resident who might wander. The two nursing designations carry licensed nursing that does not stop at the end of a shift.

A family books respite around something already fixed on the calendar, a wedding or a funeral out of state. Five care types under one roof means a person needing a different level of support does not also need a different address.

Seventy beds are licensed here, with occupancy at 92.9 percent. The area counts as very walkable at 76, so most errands stay within reach on foot, and a non-driver keeps hold of them.

Enrichment Activities appear on the program list. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab are both listed, which is what a recovery stay runs on. Ms. Bianca Macciola is the administrator, and Matawan Alf Operations LLC operates the community.

With these care types available, The Orchards Assisted Living may be a good fit for a resident whose support needs could change or for a family seeking temporary care.

The community has 100 beds and offers private suites and companion suites. A private suite suits someone who wants a living space alone, while a companion suite accommodates a resident who prefers to share with another person.
