Overview of Fallsview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

Fallsview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center’s license in Boonton, NJ, includes skilled nursing, palliative care, respite care, and nursing home care. Of those, nursing home care is the one built around ongoing nursing supervision in a residential setting.

Skilled nursing puts licensed nurses in the building every hour of every day, and 24-Hour Staffing is named to confirm it. Palliative care works on comfort and symptoms during a serious illness. A short respite stay is available to a person whose usual caregiver needs time away.

That range suits someone needing nursing support, and a family caregiver after a temporary stay fits it as well. Rehabilitation services are offered at the center, and Cardiac Care and Respiratory Care run as specific programs. There are 117 beds, with 3 hours and 45 minutes of nursing recorded for each resident per day.

Medicaid covers eligible residents, Medicare applies to qualifying skilled care over the short term, and private pay is the direct route. Eric Schwartz is the center’s administrator, and Fallsview at Boonton, LLC operates it. Religious services take place weekly and are open to all denominations.
