New Skilled Nursing Center to Feature All Private Rooms, Hospitality Focus
MONTVALE, N.J. (July 13, 2026) — Montvale Post Acute and Healthcare Center has broken ground at 100 Summit Avenue in Montvale. The new 185,878-square-foot Bergen County skilled nursing facility, located on the former Western Union headquarters site, will feature all private rooms, a hospitality focus, and advanced care and services.

The newly developed skilled nursing building will house approximately 180 beds. Three floors will offer distinct care levels, including short-term rehabilitation, secure memory care and long-term residential care. It will seamlessly adjoin an existing structure adapted to accommodate a grand lobby with a “main street” feel, lounges, dining areas, therapy suites, resident amenities and operational spaces.
Independently owned and operated, Montvale Post Acute and Healthcare will benefit from the support of Marquis Health Consulting Services, a Brick, N.J.-based administrative consulting services provider. Marquis clients have access to an evolving suite of clinician-led specialty care models, signature services and comfort features – enabling innovation, compassion and purpose in every aspect of care.
“Montvale Post Acute and Healthcare will check all the boxes for transformative skilled nursing at a time when the call for exceptional care and elevated environments is growing fast,” said Marquis Division President Michael Smith, RN, LNHA. “Simply put, skilled nursing care is not what it used to be. This center is poised to become a premier rehabilitation destination in a region where private rooms are scarce and specialized clinical care is in high demand.”
State and local dignitaries, healthcare colleagues and leadership from Marquis joined the Montvale Post Acute and Healthcare team at the groundbreaking.
“We are excited and grateful for the quality care, expanded capacity, and good-paying jobs Montvale Post Acute and Healthcare Center, supported by Marquis Health Consulting Services, will bring to New Jersey,” said Andy Aronson, president and CEO of the Health Care Association of New Jersey. “By 2030, for the first time in our state’s history, New Jersey will have more older adults than children. Campuses like Montvale and other high-quality providers will be essential to meeting that growing need.”

The company’s “Care, anew” philosophy supports its mission to help clients transform industry processes, mindsets and outcomes. Marquis is a hands-on, third-generation family-owned company.
