With both Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and Saint Peter’s University Hospital just ten minutes away in New Brunswick, South River residents have excellent hospital access. The challenge is what happens between doctor visits and after hospital discharges: daily bathing, medication management, mobility support, meal preparation, and companionship.
