Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (76% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 26 days.
At 400 Locust Street in Lakewood, Harrogate combines five levels of senior care under one roof: nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing. The Ocean County property is currently full, all 68 beds occupied. It sits in a somewhat walkable pocket of town (Walk Score 42), so a few errands are doable on foot, though most residents and visiting family will still want a car.
Nursing staff average 4 hours and 41 minutes of care per resident daily, and the building runs on around-the-clock staffing with a 24/7 emergency call system. Rehabilitation services and respite care are both available on-site. Administrator Charles Benjamin oversees the community.
Beyond direct care, Harrogate keeps residents engaged through the Living the 8 Wellness Program and a full calendar of social events and classes. Medicare and private pay are both accepted, which opens up more than one path for families working out how to cover costs.
Inspection themes for Harrogate have centered on medication management, infection control, emergency preparedness, and dietary and food service. Because Harrogate spans the full spectrum from independent living to skilled nursing, it’s a fit for families who want a single address that can flex as a resident’s care needs change.
Harrogate is administered by Mr. Charles Benjamin.
In New Jersey, the Department of Health, Health Facilities Evaluation and Licensing conducts mandatory unannounced surveys to ensure facilities provide safe and effective resident care.
