Overview of Avalon Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

Avalon Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center provides nursing home, skilled nursing, memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care in Hamilton, NJ. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site. Memory care offers a supervised, secured setting for residents who may be at risk of wandering.

Hospice and palliative care support comfort-focused care, while respite care provides a short stay for a resident while a family caregiver travels or recovers. These services may make Avalon Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center a good fit for someone living with dementia who needs secure supervision or a family seeking temporary care. The community has 180 beds, so residents live in a setting with more residents, staff, and usually programming than a smaller home.

Rehabilitation services include subacute rehab, cardiac care, pulmonary rehab, and short-term rehab, allowing a resident to receive therapy as part of the community’s care services rather than arranging care elsewhere. Residents can use the salon or spa and landscaped courtyards, while dining includes a variety of menu selections. A Walk Score of 67 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to complete occasional nearby errands independently. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Mr. Josef Bogdan serves as administrator, and Avalon Operator operates the community.

Overview of The Lakewood Courtyard

The Lakewood Courtyard, a 100-bed community in Lakewood, NJ, provides assisted living. Help with everyday tasks and medication is what residents get. Private and Shared Apartment-Style Living is what are the names for housing, so a room can be held alone or shared with a companion.

Staffing is available through the full twenty-four hours, with licensed nurses and CNAs on the team, and a doctor on staff. Rehabilitation Services carry a name here, and a Fitness Center gives therapy and exercise somewhere to happen.

Religious Services and a fully functioning Shul both appear in the Amenities, which puts worship inside the community. A Salon covers grooming, and the courtyard is where a resident goes outdoors. Scheduled Transportation and outings handle appointments and trips.

Forty-two for the Walk Score leaves the setting car-dependent, so most errands need driving. Somebody looking for assisted living with religious observance provided on the premises is a good fit here.
