FREEHOLD — Laura Nimick, a registered nurse at The Jewish Home for Rehabilitation & Nursing, received the Health Care Association of New Jersey’s first Rising Star of the Year award during its annual convention and awards ceremony in Atlantic City.
Nimick serves as the center’s assistant director of nursing and specialty program coordinator. The new award honors professionals with fewer than five years of experience in long-term care who demonstrate leadership potential, innovative thinking and a commitment to the field.
At The Jewish Home, Nimick oversees specialty programs that include cardiac, pulmonary, renal and orthopedic rehabilitation. She works with clinical teams to coordinate resident care while mentoring employees and encouraging teamwork and continued learning.
“Day in and day out, Laura leads by example, mentors staff, promotes accountability, and fosters a culture of teamwork and continuous learning,” said Pam Montemurno, regional director of market development at Marquis Health Consulting Services, which provides administrative consulting support to the center.
The Jewish Home, at 1151 W. Main St., offers post-hospital care, short-term rehabilitation and long-term residential care, along with a cultural program for Russian-speaking residents. According to the center, it has been included in Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes rankings for three consecutive years. For more information, visit jewishhomefreehold.org.
