Parker At Somerset

Parker at Somerset sits on 10 wooded acres with rolling hills at 15 Dellwood Lane in Somerset, New Jersey, and is part of a not-for-profit group connected with LeadingAge. The skilled nursing facility holds 120 beds for post-acute rehabilitation and long-term care, with 24/7 skilled nursing coverage and a Five-Star rating from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The place features a household model with big private suites and private baths, which many people find comfortable, and there's a chapel, a full-time chaplain, and regular religious services including Sunday masses for peaceful time or meditation. Adults living here can use physical, occupational, and speech therapies, plus post-acute rehab, Alzheimer's care, memory support, and pain management, including hospice care given by trained nursing staff. An on-site medical director has privileges at RWJBarnabus and St. Peter's hospitals, and the staff includes licensed nurses, a board-certified medical physiologist, certified nursing assistants, and a licensed dietician for personalized meal planning suited to any prescription diets. The community takes Medicare, Medicaid, BC/BS, Aetna, and Cigna, and is licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services. There's care for tracheostomy, gastrostomy tube feeding, IV antibiotic therapy, total parenteral nutrition, wound and ostomy care, general surgery recovery, and palliative support. Social workers help with family counseling and help plan for when someone is ready to return home. The recreation team sets up activities to help meet the physical, social, spiritual, and psychological needs of residents. The grounds hold both an adult day center and a child development center, and the buildings have safety features and advanced infection control technology.
