A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.

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.

Francis E Parker Memorial Home

501 Easton Ave At Landing Lane, New Brunswick, NJ 08901
Overview of Francis E Parker Memorial Home

Six care types are run at Francis E. Parker Memorial Home in New Brunswick, NJ. They are adult day care, nursing home, respite care, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.

Post Hospital Rehabilitation and Outpatient Rehabilitation are both named, one for the weeks after a discharge, and one for therapy without moving in. Adult Day Services, Home & Community Based Services, Senior Care Coordination, Child Day Care, and Dorvie Concierge Services all also carry names of their own in the list of services offered here.

The home is small at 52 beds, and a resident moving in may bring a pet. 83 is very walkable for a Walk Score, and a non-driver can get around mostly on their own on foot. Ms. Caralee Dill is the administrator, and the Francis E. Parker Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees operates the home.

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 287 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.
