Overview of Imperial Care Center

Imperial Care Center sits at 919 Green Grove Road in Neptune, New Jersey, a 121-bed nursing home administered by Mr. Zev Kopp. The neighborhood is moderately walkable (Walk Score 55), the kind of area where a resident’s family might run a few errands on foot between visits. Right now the building is running at 70% occupancy, with 85 of its 121 beds filled.

The clinical lineup here leans toward recovery and management of ongoing conditions. Rehabilitation services and respite care sit alongside round-the-clock skilled nursing, and the facility names four specific programs: sub-acute rehab, orthopedic rehabilitation, a cardiac management program, and pulmonary care.

That combination suggests a resident base split between people recovering from surgery or a hospital stay and those managing chronic cardiac or respiratory conditions long-term. Nursing coverage backs this up. Staff report about four hours of total nursing care per resident each day, with both RNs and LPNs contributing dedicated time on top of that baseline.

New Jersey’s health department reviews nursing homes like this one on a recurring basis, and at Imperial Care Center those reviews have tended to center on infection prevention, fire-safety systems, staffing credentials, and care planning documentation.

Coverage-wise, Imperial Care Center takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which gives families some flexibility in how they finance a stay. Between the cardiac and pulmonary programs and the orthopedic rehab track, this is a facility set up for residents who need real medical support, not just custodial care, whether that’s a short post-hospital stint or something longer term.

Overview of Wedgwood Gardens Care Center

At 3419 Highway 9 in Freehold, New Jersey, Wedgwood Gardens Care Center runs 151 beds across a very walkable stretch of the city. A Walk Score of 88 means most everyday errands don’t require a car. The facility offers skilled nursing, hospice care, and respite stays, putting it in the category of homes built to handle both recovery and longer-term needs under one roof.

Right now about 6 in 10 beds are filled, 92 of the 151 available. That leaves the facility with meaningfully more capacity than it’s using. Two named programs anchor the clinical side: Path to Care and Subacute Rehabilitation, both aimed at residents working back toward independence after a hospital stay. Palliative and hospice services sit alongside them for residents whose needs have shifted toward comfort and end-of-life care, and the Home Sweet Home Program and Therapeutic Recreation add structure to daily life beyond medical treatment.

Nurse aides log close to two hours per resident each day, more than either RNs or LPNs individually, each of which comes in just under an hour. Add it up and total nursing care runs 3 hours and 38 minutes per resident daily. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which widens the door for families regardless of how they’re planning to cover costs.

Inspectors reviewing this facility have focused on medication management, infection prevention, emergency preparedness, staffing credentials, and documentation of care planning. Outside the clinical picture, residents can spend time in the outdoor courtyards and gardens, get a haircut at the onsite salon, or read in the library. Between the rehab-oriented programs and the hospice track running in parallel, Wedgwood Gardens reads as a facility built to move people through short-term recovery while also holding space for residents who need ongoing, higher-touch nursing care.
