Post-Acute Care Proposal Goes Before Manchester Planners

MANCHESTER, NJ — The Manchester Planning Board is set to hear the application for a 124-bed post-acute care nursing facility Monday evening.

The facility, to be named Spring Hill Manchester, would be constructed at 2132 Route 37, at the property next to the Manchester Family Golf Center.

The facility would provide short-term care for patients who are transitioning to home after a hospital stay.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at town hall, 1 Colonial Drive in Manchester.

The town held its Christmas tree lighting celebration on Friday. If you were unable to attend, the township shared video of the lighting on its Facebook page.

Classes resumed in the Manchester Township School District on Monday after three days of disruptions caused by rumors of a potential violent act that led to the closing of the district on Friday.

Manchester Township police investigated and found there were no credible threats. Manchester Township Schools Superintendent David Trethaway said the people responsible for starting the rumors will face consequences.

"These individuals will face consequences for any inappropriate actions as these comments can be extremely dangerous," Trethaway said. Read more: Manchester Schools To Reopen Monday After Threat Investigation
