Heath Village offers independent living, assisted living, residential care, respite care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing in Hackettstown, NJ. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment. Residential care provides a supported setting for daily living, and nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Respite care supports a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, while short term rehabilitation provides temporary care during recovery.
The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to another level may be possible without leaving the community or starting over socially. Heath Village has 108 beds, opened in 1966, and is administered by Ms. Vivian Blandura. The home offers one bedroom apartments, two bedroom apartments, cottages, duplex and triplex homes, and garden homes. A one bedroom apartment provides a single bedroom layout, while a two bedroom apartment can suit two people moving together.
A Walk Score of 84 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby errands independently.

A dog park and pet wash station give residents with dogs dedicated spaces for them.
Chef prepared meals, a bistro or café, and multiple dining venues provide several places to eat on campus, while walking groups, healthy motion classes, cardio drumming, cultural activities, educational activities, and social activities offer scheduled ways to spend time.
