About Community Medical Center Tcu

+
Community Medical Center TCU, located at 99 Route 37 West in Toms River, NJ, provides transitional care unit (TCU) skilled nursing services directly within the Community Medical Center hospital campus — one of Ocean County's most comprehensive healthcare facilities and a flagship member of the RWJBarnabas Health system. Operated as a non-profit corporation, Community Medical Center is deeply embedded in the fabric of Toms River and the surrounding Shore communities. The TCU's on-campus location offers an unparalleled advantage: patients recovering from surgery, stroke, cardiac events, or serious illness can transition seamlessly from acute inpatient care to skilled nursing rehabilitation without leaving the hospital environment. This continuity reduces recovery complications and keeps care teams — physicians, therapists, and nurses — coordinated throughout the post-acute journey. Community Medical Center is a Level II Trauma Center and offers a full spectrum of services including cardiac and vascular surgery, orthopedics, oncology, and neurosciences. For patients admitted to the TCU, access to these specialists and advanced diagnostic resources is immediate, ensuring that any changes in condition are addressed without delay. Toms River itself is a thriving Ocean County community with an excellent quality of life for patients and their families. Route 37 — where the campus sits — is one of the region's busiest commercial corridors, with the Ocean County Mall, major grocery chains, pharmacies, and dozens of dining options all within minutes. Barnegat Bay's scenic waterfront, Ocean County Park's expansive recreational grounds, and the beaches of nearby Seaside Heights and Island Beach State Park offer families meaningful respite during extended visits. For Ocean County residents requiring skilled nursing care following hospitalization, Community Medical Center TCU offers the gold standard in post-acute recovery — expert clinical care, seamless hospital integration, and a non-profit mission focused entirely on patient outcomes.
