“I will not soon forget what everyday angels live and work at Peace Care.”
~ Eileen Western, Daughter of Resident
“Forever grateful! Exceptional care, dedication, love, respect, empathy. It takes a village to care for someone and we were blessed to have all of you.”
~ Pury Loor, Sister of Rehab Resident
Guided by Catholic tradition and the values of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, we care for your loved ones with personalized attention and a deep regard for the gift of life. Residents in our long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, and adult medical day care are treated with skill and compassion. As the only nonprofit nursing home in Jersey City, we have been helping and healing our neighbors for over 100 years.
Our short-term subacute rehabilitation outperforms the national standards of recovery and we consistently meet or exceed the standards of our referral partners. Our long-term care residents are part of our family, and we treat the whole person, emphasizing their dignity, independence, and quality of life.
“My most sincere thanks for the incredible care that my mom received. My family and I are so grateful that when we could not be there, you were!”
~ Eileen Western, Daughter of Rehab Resident
