Stratford Manor Rehabilitation and Care Center is a 131-bed skilled nursing facility on Northfield Avenue that functions largely as a sub-acute recovery hub. The building handles a high daily volume, running at a 93% occupancy rate, with the vast majority of clients arriving via Medicare for brief short-term rehab stints that average about 22 days. For individuals requiring an extended timeline, the property also accommodates long-term nursing care, temporary respite stays, and hospice services. Situated roughly a mile and a half from the local downtown area, the property scores a 50 out of 100 for walkability, making the neighborhood moderately accessible for visitors and staff on foot.
Daily shift logs indicate that the floor staff provides an average of 3 hours and 30 minutes of direct care per resident each day, with registered nurses covering 35 minutes of that total. This nursing team operates alongside a dedicated physical therapy gym and a broad clinical support group that includes 16 physical therapists, occupational therapy assistants, respiratory technicians, a nurse practitioner, and clinical nurse specialists.
On the compliance side, public monitoring files from the New Jersey Department of Health show that past inspection surveys have flagged minor deficiencies in medication tracking, pharmacy storage, infection control, and resident care records. The administration resolved each of these paperwork and care issues following the reviews, leaving the facility with zero financial penalties or active enforcement actions.
Individuals researching regional short-stay physical therapy options or permanent long-term placements can look through these state reports to examine the building’s historical baseline. The public documentation details a highly utilized rehab hub backed by an active resident council, varied therapy specialists, and a clean recent annual health survey, balanced against standard administrative and pharmacy corrections.
Stratford Manor Rehabilitation And Care Center is administered by Ms. Alexandra Smolarova.
