Overview of Complete Care at Shorrock Gardens

Complete Care at Shorrock Gardens is a nursing home in Brick Township, New Jersey, with skilled nursing, hospice care, memory care, palliative care, and respite care. Nursing home services provide ongoing support for residents who need daily clinical oversight, while skilled nursing keeps licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and symptom relief during serious illness.

Respite care provides a short term stay for a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover. Post acute care and the rehabilitation program support recovery after hospitalization or surgery through orthopedic and postsurgical, cardiac, neuro and stroke, pulmonary, renal, bariatric, and psychology or psychiatric care programs. A resident can receive therapy at the community during recovery instead of arranging care elsewhere.

The combination of short term rehabilitation with ongoing nursing and memory care may suit a resident whose needs could change during recovery. The home has 180 beds, making it a larger setting with more residents and staff and usually more programming. Occupancy is 100 percent, meaning every bed is occupied in the stated figure, so current availability can be limited.

Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 27 minutes per resident per day. This represents the recorded daily nurse time for each resident. Payment can come through Medicare, Medicaid, or private pay, allowing families to use a public program or direct payment when applicable.

Shalom Ephrathi serves as administrator, and Complete Care At Shorrock operates the community.
