Overview of White House Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

On Berkeley Avenue in Orange, New Jersey, White House Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs a 176-bed skilled nursing operation in one of the most walkable pockets you’ll find for this kind of facility. The Walk Score is 90, “walker’s paradise” territory, meaning families visiting can handle errands on foot rather than circling for parking. White House Healthcare Center LLC operates the facility, with Mr. Shloma Aron listed as administrator.

Nine out of every ten beds are filled here; that 90% occupancy rate, with 159 of 176 beds occupied, points to steady demand. The clinical lineup leans toward recovery: subacute rehab sits alongside orthopedic, cardiac, pulmonary, and infectious disease care, the kind of mix built for residents coming off a hospital stay who need focused, short-term attention before heading home, plus others who need ongoing skilled nursing.

Staffing works out to roughly 3 hours and 48 minutes of nursing care per resident per day, spread across RNs, LPNs, and nurse aides. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which widens the door for families sorting out how to cover costs.

The day-to-day extras are modest but real: chef-prepared meals, an on-site beauty salon, cable TV and WiFi in every room. On the regulatory side, state inspections here have tended to center on medication management, documentation and care planning, and dietary services, with staffing credentials and fire-safety systems also part of the picture. Between the rehab specialties and the near-full census, this reads as a facility geared toward residents needing serious short-term recovery support as much as those settling in for longer-term nursing care.
