Overview of Complete Care at Brakeley Park

At 290 Red School Lane in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, Complete Care at Brakeley Park runs a 40-bed nursing home in a very walkable pocket of town (Walk Score 75), the kind of neighborhood where a family member can park once and handle several errands on foot. Right now, 19 of those 40 beds are filled, putting occupancy at 48%.

Cardiac care, neuro and stroke care, pulmonary care, bariatric care, psychology and psychiatric care, and geriatric care are all named programs, alongside general rehabilitation services and post-acute care for residents coming off a hospital stay. Nursing coverage runs close to four hours per resident per day in total, split between registered nurses and nurse aides, with respite stays available for families who need a short-term bridge rather than a permanent placement.

State inspections at this facility have tended to center on care planning and documentation, along with resident rights and protections, more than on direct clinical care. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which opens up several ways to structure payment for a stay.

Between the cardiac, pulmonary, and neuro programs and the post-acute framing throughout the profile, this reads as a facility built for residents working through medical recovery after a hospitalization.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New Jersey

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New Jersey?

Assisted living in New Jersey supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New Jersey?

Assisted living in New Jersey is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New Jersey Medicaid cover assisted living?

New Jersey Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New Jersey) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 289 assisted living facilities in New Jersey. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New Jersey?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New Jersey, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in New Jersey?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
