Barnegat Rehabilitation and Nursing Center
859 West Bay Ave, Barnegat, NJ 08005, Ocean County
Barnegat Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits along West Bay Avenue in Barnegat, right in the heart of southern Ocean County. The 116-bed facility provides a calm shore-area setting near the bay and minutes from the bridge to Long Beach Island. The secure campus features open outdoor spaces where residents can spend time outside in the fresh salt air.
Inside, the community operates as a fully licensed long-term care facility designed for both short-term rehabilitation and extended nursing stays. Medical resources are built right into the building, including an in-house rehabilitation department that offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy up to seven days a week. Evaluations take place within 24 to 48 hours of arrival so treatment can begin without delay.
The clinical team handles high-level medical needs that often go beyond standard nursing home capabilities. Staff manage complex regimens including tracheostomies, respiratory therapy, LifeVest monitors, Trilogy units, and PleurX catheters. The team also oversees IV therapies, inotropes, TPN feedings, and blood transfusions, backed by on-site stat lab tests, EKGs, and mobile X-rays.
Life here includes connection with the surrounding neighborhood through regular monthly breakfasts and educational seminars. The community suits seniors who need post-surgical orthopedic rehab, intensive respiratory management, or round-the-clock long-term skilled support. Doctors are available 24 hours a day, and the admissions desk accepts transfers around the clock.
