Overview of The Clare Estate

The Clare Estate offers Assisted Living, Adult Day Care, Independent Living, Memory Care, and Respite Care in Bordentown, NJ. Assisted Living provides help with daily tasks while preserving a private room, while Memory Care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Independent Living means private living with community services and no daily care; Respite Care provides a short stay when a person’s usual caregiver needs temporary support, and Adult Day Care provides care during the day before the person returns home.

Private rooms give each resident a single private living space, and pets are allowed, so residents may continue living with a pet. A Walk Score of 61 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to complete certain nearby errands independently. Darphine Joachim serves as the administrator, and the range of care types can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time and who may benefit from remaining in the same community.
