Overview of The Residence at Cherry Hill

The Residence at Cherry Hill is an assisted living, memory care, and respite care community at 1979 Route 70 East in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The neighborhood is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 3, so most errands and outings require driving rather than walking.

The community has 132 beds and is currently operating at 80% occupancy, with 105 beds filled. Residents have access to rehabilitation services, nursing services, and 24-hour staffing, along with respite care for families who need a temporary stay option rather than a permanent move.

Amenities include a salon, library, walking paths, a patio, a theater, and a dedicated entertainment space, alongside gourmet dining. Assisted living studios start at $4,500 per month, while memory care studios, which typically involve a higher level of staffing and support, start at $6,995 per month.

State inspections of the community are conducted by the New Jersey Department of Health’s Health Facilities Evaluation and Licensing division. Inspection themes at this community have centered on medication management, infection prevention and control, and care planning and documentation. These are the areas regulators have focused on when evaluating the facility’s day-to-day operations.

Families weighing a move here can expect a mid-sized community with dedicated memory care and respite options, set in a suburban, car-oriented part of Cherry Hill, with pricing that varies meaningfully depending on the level of care needed.

The Actors Fund Homes

155-175 West Hudson Avenue, Englewood, NJ 07631
Overview of The Actors Fund Homes

The Actors Fund Homes sits on six acres of land in Englewood, New Jersey. New York City is only seven miles away. This community has 44 beds. It offers four kinds of care under one roof: nursing home care, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.

The building sits at 155-175 West Hudson Avenue. Errands here rarely mean pulling out a car. The Walk Score is 95 out of 100. That makes this spot a walker’s paradise. Most shops and services are just a short walk away.

Rehab is part of daily life here too. Staff run short-term rehab for people who are healing after surgery or a serious illness. Someone could come here for just a few weeks of rehab. Then, if they need more help later, they could move into long-term skilled nursing or memory care. They would not have to pack up and move somewhere new.

That’s what sets this place apart from many others. Most senior care homes stick to one type of care. They do rehab, or they do memory care, or they do long-term nursing. The Actors Fund Homes tries to do several of these at once, all inside the same six acres.

A family trying to figure out what kind of care their loved one needs might find that helpful. They would not need to guess right the first time. The Actors Fund Homes can shift with a resident as their needs change, all on the same six-acre property in Englewood.

Overview of Juniper Village at Williamstown, Wellspring Memory

Juniper Village at Williamstown, Wellspring Memory sits at 1648 S. Black Horse Pike in Williamstown, New Jersey. It is a 36-bed community that offers assisted living and memory care. Melissa Repkoe serves as administrator, and Juniper Village At Williamstown LLC operates the community. The neighborhood scores 78 on the Walk Score scale, which counts as very walkable. A family visiting for the day could park once and reach most errands on foot.

The community currently houses 27 of its 36 residents. That works out to a 75% occupancy rate. This is a smaller population, and the whole community is designed around that scale. It is not a large campus with a memory care wing added on the side. It was built from the start as a dedicated memory care community. The Wellspring Memory Care program guides daily care. The community also holds a specific accreditation from the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, called Excellence in Care Dementia Care Program of Distinction.

Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants manage day-to-day medical needs. Rehabilitation services are available when residents need them. The daily schedule includes dining, fitness, and enrichment and engagement activities. Some technology is worked into how the community keeps residents active and connected.

State inspections at this community have tended to focus on two areas. One is care planning and documentation. The other is resident rights and protections. The accreditation, the licensed nursing staff, and the small resident count point in the same direction. Wellspring Memory is built to do one thing well: care for people living with memory loss, at a scale that stays manageable.

Overview of Family of Caring Healthcare at Ridgewood

Family of Caring Healthcare at Ridgewood provides nursing home and skilled nursing care, assisted living, hospice care, and respite care in Ridgewood, NJ. Skilled nursing and nursing home care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living supports daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps an apartment.

Hospice care focuses on comfort and support for someone with a life limiting illness. Respite care provides a short term stay when a family caregiver needs time to travel or recover. The range of care may suit a resident whose needs could change over time or a family seeking temporary support.

The community has 98 beds, with total nurse staffing of 3 hours and 21 minutes per resident each day. That figure represents the daily hands on nursing time assigned per resident. Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay; Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, while Medicaid and private pay address other eligible arrangements.

Rehabilitation services include Post Surgical Rehabilitation Therapy, Subacute Rehabilitation, Orthopedic Services, Transitional Care and Rapid Recovery, the Connect™ Cardiac and Pulmonary Program, Stroke Recovery, and Transition to Home. These programs support recovery needs related to surgery, orthopedic care, stroke, and cardiopulmonary conditions, as well as the process of returning home. Residents also have access to full service beauty and barber services, chef prepared meals in a dining room, outdoor spaces, and transportation to outside medical appointments.

A Walk Score of 53 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to reach some nearby destinations independently. Ms. Mary Robin Magher serves as the administrator.

Reformed Church Home is a nursing home and assisted living community in Old Bridge, NJ, offering skilled nursing and respite care. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication while the resident keeps a private apartment.

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.
