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.

Overview of Stonebridge at Montgomery Health Care Center

Stonebridge at Montgomery is a Life Plan Community in Skillman, New Jersey, built to carry residents through a full range of senior care without having to change addresses. Independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services all operate under one roof. Springpoint at Montgomery, Inc runs the community, with Roberto Muniz as administrator, and the home takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

The community has 50 beds and is running at 66% occupancy right now. Most people who come through the door are here for short-term rehab rather than a permanent move; the average stay is around 105 days. Residents need to be 62 or older to move in. One thing worth knowing before you visit: this is a car-dependent part of Skillman, so plan on driving to run errands or explore the area rather than walking.

Clinically, residents have rehabilitation services on hand along with licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants, and staffing runs around the clock. Combined nursing coverage, RN, LPN, and aide time together, comes to about 4 hours and 28 minutes per resident per day, with registered nurses contributing roughly an hour and a half of that themselves.

Residents aren’t just recipients of care here either. A resident council meets regularly and has real input on policies, quality of care, and how activities are run.

Pet owners won’t have to leave a companion behind. State inspections here have centered on a handful of recurring themes: dietary and food service, resident rights, housekeeping, and fall prevention.

Spring Home At Galloway

42 West Jimmie Leeds, Galloway Township, NJ 08205
Overview of Spring Home at Galloway

At 42 West Jimmie Leeds Road in Galloway Township, Spring Home at Galloway runs at full capacity: all 52 beds are occupied. The community offers assisted living and memory care, and every resident who lives there right now has chosen to stay.

The neighborhood itself isn’t built for foot traffic. Walk Score puts it at 29, “somewhat walkable,” meaning a handful of nearby services might be reachable without a car, but most days will still involve driving. Inside, the model leans toward hands-on, continuous care. Licensed nurses and CNAs staff the building 24 hours a day, and residents recovering from a hospital stay or surgery have rehabilitation services and short-term rehab available on-site. Families who need a temporary placement for a loved one, rather than a permanent move, can use respite care.

The living spaces are described as spacious, with wellness areas and social lounges built into the community and a dedicated space for dining. Pets are welcome here, for residents who aren’t ready to give up a companion animal when they move.

On the regulatory side, New Jersey’s Department of Health inspections at this facility have centered on fire-safety systems, documentation and care planning, and dietary and food service. Between the round-the-clock nursing, the rehab and respite options, and a fully occupied building, Spring Home at Galloway reads as a community built for residents who need consistent, present support, whether that’s a long-term assisted living or memory care placement or a shorter stay while recovering elsewhere.

Overview of Homestead Rehabilitation & Health Care Center

Homestead Rehabilitation & Health Care Center operates as a 128-bed skilled nursing facility situated in Newton, New Jersey, under the administration of Mr. Joseph Schmidt. Its site at 129 Morris Turnpike is geographically characterized by a Walk Score of 86, indicating high pedestrian accessibility.

The service matrix is diversified, encompassing short-term rehabilitation, post-operative recovery, and long-term residential placement, supported by a payer mix of Medicare, Medicaid, and private funds. Operationally, the facility is currently utilized at a 42% occupancy rate (54 occupied beds out of 128 available), serving a population with an average length of stay calculated at approximately 3.5 months. Core service delivery is channeled through the Transitional Care Team and the Grandview Pavilion tracks, augmented by daily on-site physical therapy provision.

Analysis of the labor model reveals a total nursing allocation of 2 hours and 51 minutes per resident per day, statistically skewed toward LPNs/LVNs and nurse aides. The precise distribution is 16 minutes from Registered Nurses, 1 hour 19 minutes from LPNs/LVNs, and 2 hours 5 minutes from Nurse Aides. Furthermore, physical therapists contribute a nominal 4 minutes per resident daily.

Regulatory compliance data from the New Jersey Department of Health over a five-year period documents a historical struggle with systemic compliance challenges. Prior surveys systematically identified deficiencies centered on three core domains: staffing adequacy, environmental controls (specifically regarding temperature/heating regulation), and adherence to life safety code standards. Specific failure points, substantiated through complaint investigations, included consistent inability to maintain mandated nursing assistant staffing ratios and inadequate facility temperature management protocols.

Each citation triggered the requisite submission of corrective action plans. Critically, the November 2025 inspection concluded with a classification of zero deficiencies. No penalties, such as monetary fines or license suspensions, are cataloged in the accessible documentation. This trajectory suggests the facility is potentially achieving systemic operational equilibrium following a protracted phase of documented regulatory and service delivery issues.

Rachnaben Tripathi administers the program, which operates under New Life Adult Daycare, LLC.

Getting there requires a car. The Walk Score for the area sits at 23 out of 100, car-dependent territory, so families coordinating daily drop-off and pick-up should plan around driving rather than walking or public transit.

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 284 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.
