Green Hill

103 Pleasant Valley Way, West Orange, NJ 07052
Overview of Green Hill

Green Hill is a nursing home on Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange, New Jersey, with 127 beds and 86 currently occupied, putting it at 68% occupancy. The surrounding area is moderately walkable, with a Walk Score of 50, so residents’ families can handle some errands on foot while relying on cars for the rest.

Short-term rehab is a core part of what Green Hill offers, alongside broader rehabilitation services for residents recovering from surgery, illness, or injury. That combination lets the facility support people who need focused clinical care for a limited stretch as well as those settling in for longer-term nursing care.

The nursing coverage Green Hill delivers breaks down across three roles. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses each spend about 40 minutes per resident per day on direct care, while nurse aides put in roughly 2 hours and 29 minutes. Added together, residents get close to 3 hours and 51 minutes of total nursing attention daily. Families paying for care have options too, since Green Hill accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

State inspectors reviewing Green Hill have focused on medication management, fire safety systems, and emergency preparedness, plus staffing credentials, care planning and documentation, and housekeeping and upkeep.
