Overview of The Jewish Home for Rehabilitation and Nursing

The Jewish Home for Rehabilitation and Nursing is a 150-bed skilled nursing home on West Main Street in Freehold, New Jersey. Owned by Osher Flagler, the facility coordinates multiple financial setups by accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For visitors, the surrounding neighborhood features a walkability score of 88 out of 100, which indicates a highly pedestrian-friendly setting where family members can complete everyday errands and reach local destinations entirely on foot.

Daily occupancy levels maintain a steady 91 percent census, with individual stays averaging about 65 days. This shorter timeframe highlights a dedication to temporary, post-hospital recovery and rehabilitation rather than indefinite residency. To manage these clinical needs, 24-hour staffing provides an average of 3 hours and 51 minutes of direct nursing care per resident each day, utilizing a clinical team that coordinates specialized recovery paths for cardiac, neurological, orthopedic, pulmonary, and dedicated memory care.

Historical enforcement records show that state health department evaluations previously highlighted compliance gaps in medication administration and care documentation. Subsequent inspection cycles report zero deficiencies across the property, and the center maintains an overall cumulative citations-per-inspection rate of zero.

Prospective residents evaluating regional care properties or short-term physical therapy placements can use these state regulatory filings to assess the property’s operational background. The public documents outline a pedestrian-friendly community campus that provides a library, courtyard walking paths, private family dining setups, and a full-service salon, balanced against completed fixes in past care documentation and medication logging protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does New Jersey Medicaid cover memory care?

New Jersey Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 362 memory care communities in New Jersey. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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.
