Welcome to Touchpoints at Chestnut
Jennifer Johnson
Administrator
Dear Residents and Family Members,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Touchpoints at Chestnut; part of the iCare Health Network. Our care center offers a variety of clinical programs to meet your individual needs. We are very proud to frequently be rated as a Four or Five Star nursing center by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as well as receiving the US News and World Report Best Nursing Home recognition three years in a row (2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21).
Serving our residents is a privilege. Being entrusted to provide a home for someone during their rehabilitation or as they navigate the final chapters of their life, allows me to ensure that joy, quality care and compassion are a part of what could be one of their most difficult times. Being able to offer these, and many other things through the dedication of my team is what motivates me to come to work every day and serve in my role as an Administrator. We all have the power to make a difference in someone’s life and I choose to make that my daily mission for any resident and family who allows for Chestnut their place of refuge.
Touchpoints at Chestnut is a 60 bed facility that reflects a quaint Victorian bed-and-breakfast style home nestled in the Warehouse Points village of East Windsor. Our rehabilitation unit includes individual HD televisions, private phones, recessed closets, and recently re-done floors.
We offer the Touchpoints Therapy Program, which is available to those who are recovering from an orthopedic procedure, or in need of cardiac recovery, pulmonary rehab, general medical or other post surgical care, wound care, intravenous (IV) therapy, pain management and more. Touchpoints’ Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists provide services seven days a week in our recently renovated Rehabilitation Gym. Continue reading
