Heritage Manor

Compassionate Skilled-Nursing Care

At Heritage Manor, a Christian Health community in Bergen County, NJ, we never forget that each person in our care is an individual. Our staff seek to meet physical needs, but also to acknowledge and enhance each individual’s spiritual and emotional well-being. Heritage Manor offers four specialized areas of care:

• Skilled Nursing Care
• Dementia Care for patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia
• Bolger Short-term Rehab to help patients transition home following hospitalization
• Inpatient hospice end of life care for when in-home care is not an option

Interdisciplinary Care Teams

Providing the best care starts with having the best people. A full-time medical director is on staff and coordinates a highly skilled team that includes:

• On-site physicians
• Dietitians
• Clinical nurse specialists
• Geriatric nurse practitioners
• Chaplains
• Physiatrist
• Psychiatrists
• Social workers
• Physical, occupational, and speech therapists

Together, these team members create an individualized care plan for each resident designed to meet their unique needs. Care plans are reviewed every three months by the Interdisciplinary Care Team. In addition, Christian Health Rehabilitation services works closely with the IDC to improve residents’ quality of life through programs such as Balance and Fall Prevention, Seating and Positioning, Contracture Management, and more. Additional specialized consultants include dentists, podiatrists, and psychiatric-service professionals.

Dementia Care

When someone you love has Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, caring for them can be challenging. Our staff members are specially trained in dementia care and offer watchful, compassionate attention through a resident wander-prevention system. In addition, a structured, specialized calendar of therapeutic activities is created to meet the specific needs and abilities of residents.
