Optima Care Castle Hill is a 215-bed nursing home in Union City, NJ, providing nursing care, skilled nursing, memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers a secured, supervised setting for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care supports end-of-life needs, palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom management, and respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The range of services may be a good fit for someone whose needs include nursing support, dementia supervision, or short-term relief for a family caregiver. With 215 beds, residents are part of a larger community with more residents and staff; total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 13 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time allocated to each resident. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families public-benefit and out-of-pocket payment paths. Margot Domingo serves as administrator, and Optima Care Union City operates the community.
Rehabilitation services let residents receive therapy at the community. A salon and spa provides beauty services without arranging an outside appointment, while therapeutic recreation, pastoral services, and pet therapy add structured activities, religious support, and guided interaction with animals. The Walk Score of 97 makes the area a walker’s paradise, so daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
