The 163-bed skilled nursing facility in Brick Township provides post-hospital care, short-term rehab and long-term residential care.
“Dr. Shua-Haim is widely regarded as one of the region’s leading geriatric care specialists, and we are thrilled to welcome him as our new medical director at Willow Springs,” said Rokeach. “This facility is right in our own back yard and is particularly special to us at Marquis. Dr. Shua-Haim will play an essential role in our continued development and expansion of specialty programming at Willow Springs, to meet the needs of area residents.”

Marquis in late 2016 completed a $2.8 million repositioning of Willow Springs, which is located at 1049 Burnt Tavern Road. Physical improvements included the addition of 13 private suites in the facility’s sub-acute rehabilitation wing, an approximately 3,000-square-foot expansion of the state-of-the-art rehab gym, and upgrades to common areas, as well as the facility’s long-term care and secured geriatric neighborhoods.
“It is my pleasure to be leading this progressive skilled nursing and rehabilitation center in its focus on clinical excellence,” said Dr. Shua-Haim. “From the next-level specialized programming to concierge-driven guest services, this is truly ‘Rehabbing Care’ at Willow Springs.”
