Runnells Care Center provides nursing home, memory care, nursing care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Berkeley Heights, NJ. Licensed nursing care is available on site around the clock. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom management. Respite care provides a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
It has 300 beds. The larger resident population means more staff and usually more programming than a smaller community. The center may be a good fit for someone who needs supervised memory care or for a family seeking short-term respite care. Total nurse staffing is 5h 15m per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time allocated to each resident.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Medicare can help cover short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can help a family whose savings may not cover a long stay, and private pay allows the family to pay directly. Joseph Garrett serves as administrator, and Runnells Operating operates the center.
