Francis E Parker Memorial Home

501 Easton Ave At Landing Lane, New Brunswick, NJ 08901
Overview of Francis E Parker Memorial Home

In New Brunswick, New Jersey, Francis E Parker Memorial Home combines several kinds of care under one 52-bed roof. The building sits on Easton Avenue at Landing Lane, in a very walkable stretch of the city (Walk Score 83) where residents’ families can run errands on foot instead of hunting for parking. Right now, 43 of the 52 beds are filled, putting occupancy at 83 percent.

Someone recovering from a hospital stay can move into post-hospital rehabilitation or come in for outpatient therapy, while others rely on adult day services or home and community-based care to stay supported without moving in full-time. Senior care coordination and broader health and wellness services fill in the rest of the clinical picture, and residents can also tap into Dorvie Concierge Services for extra personal support.

Pets are welcome, so a move here doesn’t have to mean leaving a companion animal behind. On the regulatory side, New Jersey’s Department of Health has reviewed the facility’s handling of resident rights and protections, including how privacy notices and disclosures are managed.

Between the rehab-focused services, memory care, and skilled nursing offered on-site, this is a facility built for two overlapping groups: people working through recovery after a hospital stay, and families looking for longer-term nursing or memory care in a part of New Brunswick where daily life doesn’t require a car.
