The Plainsboro Township Committee unanimously approved a redevelopment agreement for the skilled nursing facility component of the hospital redevelopment site during its meeting on January 14.
Over the summer, the Planning Board gave preliminary and final site plan approval for the site’s skilled nursing facility at Princeton Healthcare System’s new hospital, which is located on the former FMC site. The nursing facility will cover about 107,”000 square feet in floor area and sit two stories high. The facility will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, creating jobs for about 150 employees. It will contain 200 beds and a dialysis center.
The skilled nursing facility, which will be owned and operated by Millstone Riverview, will lie to the south side of Plainsboro Road and east of the hospital on a six-acre parcel. The skilled nursing facility will function as both a temporary and long-term rehabilitation and care facility. The facility will be bordered on the west and south by the public park that the municipality will be receiving from the hospital.
