Overview of Thrive at Montvale

Administered by Sahar Edalati, Thrive at Montvale is a 140-bed assisted living community in Montvale, New Jersey, on a scenic campus near Lake Tappan and the Garden State Parkway. Operated by Thrive at Montvale, the home spans three stories and offers studio, one-, and two-bedroom floor plans suited to an array of needs and preferences.

The facility is designed to cater to residents across the senior living spectrum. It offers assisted living for those needing daily support with personal care and activities, independent living for occupants wanting community and amenities without attentive assistance, memory care for people with cognitive changes, and respite care for short-term stays. Transportation services help residents with errands and outings. The car-dependent location in Montvale has a Walk Score of 10, so a vehicle is needed for most activities and destinations. That suburban setting charms occupants valuing a calmer, residential neighborhood over an urban environment. Occupancy currently sits at 49 percent, mirroring the home’s ongoing growth and available openings for new residents.

State inspections address compliance and resident safety. Thrive at Montvale’s inspection record shows a history of oversight consistent with standards, with findings that have centered on administrative and documentation matters.

For families thinking of choosing the home, a tour and talk with the administrator can clarify daily operations and what each level of care includes.
