Working Together to Enhance Quality of Life for Our Residents

As the American population grows older, it is dramatically changing the face of nursing in new and exciting ways — extending the profession beyond the hospital.

A rewarding career in long-term nursing offers you the promise of myriad opportunities and challenges in caring for older adults so that they can live life to its fullest. For you, it will bring professional and personal fulfillment, knowing that you are truly making a difference in their lives.

Saint Barnabas Health Care System offers New Jersey’s most comprehensive network of eight nursing and rehabilitation centers and one assisted living facility at 10 locations in the northern and central regions of the state — each conveniently near a system affiliate hospital.

Utilizing your skills as a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse, you become a valuable member of an extended family of health care professionals. This progressive team of rehabilitation specialists provides the finest care for thousands of residents and patients every year in several different health care settings — long- and short-term care, subacute and rehabilitative services, special care for ventilator-dependent patients, head trauma rehabilitation and assisted living.

Our multidisciplinary approach fosters a spirit of camaraderie among fellow caregivers at our individual facilities, as well as through our entire network. In working collaboratively to meet the individual needs of all residents at every level of care, we have one purpose in mind — to ensure that they are functioning at their greatest capacity and to the best of their ability.

Our nursing philosophy centers on establishing strong relationships with our residents. It’s the kind of compassionate, thoughtful and dignified care they truly deserve. . . at a time when quality of life means so very much.

At each of Saint Barnabas Health Care System’s nursing and rehabilitation centers and assisted living facilities, meeting the diverse needs of residents is the focus of daily care. With more than 1,500 beds, our facilities feature homelike private and semi-private rooms in a supportive setting that fosters independence and comfort.

Meeting The Diverse Needs Of Our Residents

Residents are offered a full spectrum of services and programs designed to address their medical, dietetic, therapeutic, recreational, cultural, spiritual and personal needs. They also enjoy outings and entertainment, pet therapy and intergenerational programs, as well as a unique “Share Your Heart: Adopt a Resident” program, which encourages staff and community members to volunteer their time to offer companionship to a resident each week.

Our eight nursing and rehabilitation centers offer a long list of clinical services that includes IV therapy, tracheotomy care, pre- and post-surgical recovery, wound care, respiratory care, enteral therapy, restorative care and pain management.

Our two assisted living residences offer comfortable accommodations for seniors who maintain an independent lifestyle, but need some assistance with day-to-day living.

How do we know whether we’re doing our job? Our residents let us know through a structured resident satisfaction program offered at all our facilities.

Working Together To Promote Independence For Our Residents

Coordination and collaboration. Both are key in today’s long-term care environment. For that reason, our nurses serve as the driving force behind providing and managing care that promotes positive outcomes and enhances independence for our residents.

Strong nursing skills in assessment, planning, educating and documentation are needed to develop a plan of care for every resident. Communication among health care professionals across the continuum of care is essential, particularly when sharing information accurately — and in a timely manner — benefits our residents in so many ways.
