Merwick Care & Rehabilitation Center Description
Combining a longstanding reputation for superior care with a beautiful new facility, Merwick offers unparalleled care and thoughtful accommodations to their residents and patients. When it comes to comfort and convenience, they've thought of everything from the large picture windows that fill the rooms with natural light, to their salon and massage therapy rooms, It is the only skilled nursing facility in New Jersey to earn the distinction of a LEED certified building, which is designed to maximize privacy and create distinct “neighborhoods” that foster social dynamics and a sense of community.
​For patients recovering from an illness or surgery, the Luxor Pavilion at Merwick is a bridge between hospital and home. The 3,500-square-foot gym enables patients to rebuild their strength and stamina using the latest Nautilus exercise equipment. With a two-story wall of glass that floods the gym with light and offers views to the adjacent therapy garden, the Luxor Pavilion is the ideal location for a robust rehabilitation schedule. On-site dialysis is available to further round out the rehab services. Merwick is also home to Grace Garden, a Chinese cultural community to further serve the local community. Merwick is well-known for their Cardiac Pulmonary Program, which enables even the most medically complex patient to recover. They are the only provider in their area to use ReDS monitoring to ensure the highest level of care. Merwick offers a suite of physician services under the leadership of Dr. Harpreet Sidhu, Medical Director of Merwick and Princeton Home Care. A longtime leader in the Princeton medical community, Dr. Sidhu practices in geriatrics at Merwick and Princeton Medical Center, and oversees the many attending physicians available to Merwick patients.
