In-Patient Rehab Center To Be Built At Giralda Farms In Madison

MADISON, NJ — An in-patient rehabilitation center is set to be built on Giralda Farms in Madison, Atlantic Health System and Kindred Healthcare announced on Tuesday.

The new medical facility would use 46,000 square feet of land out of the 40-acre farm. It was approved by the Madison planning board last week, and construction is expected to begin in early 2018.

The new center would be a replacement for the Mount Kemble facility in Morristown, which is in the process of being sold. Both facilities have 38 beds. Patient could be treated for stokes, brain injuries, orthopedic disorders, or other injuries that result in a loss of function.

“We are excited to have secured a site to build a modernized, adaptable space that truly complements our exceptional inpatient rehabilitation services, and also allows us to grow, enhance and develop services to help us to build healthier communities,” said Trish O’Keefe, president of Morristown Medical Center.

“We are pleased to move ahead on this project that will allow us to provide high quality rehabilitation services to the community in a new, leading-edge facility,” said Jason Zachariah, President of Kindred Rehabilitation Services, a division of Kindred. “We look forward to collaborating with Atlantic Health to deliver exceptional clinical care that improves our patients’ lives by improving their functional abilities.”
