Westfield Center presents a unique pricing structure for its room types compared to both Union County and the broader state of New Jersey. For semi-private accommodations, residents at Westfield Center can expect to pay $9,360 per month, significantly surpassing the county's average of $6,083 and the state's average of $5,068. Similarly, for private rooms, the cost at Westfield Center is $9,840, which again exceeds Union County's rate of $7,358 and New Jersey's average of $5,799. This indicates that while Westfield Center may offer premium services or amenities that justify these higher costs, potential residents should consider their budget in relation to local and state averages when making decisions about long-term care options.

Overall Review of Westfield Center
differentiator7 reviews mention this
Rehab therapy helps residents regain function
Rehab therapy is described as helping residents get back to walking and daily abilities.
A recurring theme is that therapy teams helped residents regain mobility after hospital stays or setbacks. Multiple reviewers describe being unable to stand or walk at arrival, then improving enough to walk again, climb stairs, or return toward their prior routines. Residents also call out both physical and occupational therapy as part of what drove their progress.

Staff attentiveness and caring tone
Staff friendliness and responsiveness are consistently mentioned by families and residents.
Across many reviews, residents and families describe nurses, CNAs, and other department staff as attentive, caring, and helpful. Reviewers mention staff members being available to answer questions, support residents during rehab, and treat people with respect. There are also a few sharply negative reviews, including complaints about neglect, attitudes, and long waits, so experiences are not uniformly positive.

Cleanliness shows up repeatedly
Many reviewers say the facility is clean, well maintained, and fresh.
Several reviews specifically highlight cleanliness and a maintained, tidy environment. Some reviewers also add sensory details like not noticing unpleasant odors and describe rooms or common areas as clean and neat. A small number of reviews raise concerns about dirt or overall conditions, which conflicts with the cleanliness praise.

Pricing runs high for private units
Cost is a concern, with some reviewers describing steep out-of-pocket pricing.
Pricing is a potential sticking point. The listingâs cost ranges sit well above both county and state comparisons for the private and semi-private options, and one reviewer directly mentions private-pay costs before discussing eligibility limits. This doesnât appear in every review, but the issue is important enough to come up more than once.
