Complete Care at the Havens sits on Route 37 West in Toms River’s Pine Lake Park neighborhood. At a Walk Score of 37, the location is firmly car-dependent. That is fairly typical for this part of Ocean County, and for a facility oriented around post-acute and clinical care, it is unlikely to be a barrier for most prospective residents.
The service and program roster here is the defining feature of this profile. On the services side: rehabilitation, short-term rehab, subacute rehab, orthopedic rehab, respiratory care, renal care, wound care, stroke recovery, and cardiac care.
Licensed nurses and CNAs staff the clinical operations. The named programs go further still: Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapies, Audiology Care, Colostomy Care, X-Ray Services, Palliative Services, Dementia Services, Dental Services, Podiatry Care, Psychiatric Services, and TPN. X-ray on-site and TPN point toward a level of medical infrastructure that goes beyond standard rehabilitation or assisted living. So does Dementia Services, which suggests structured cognitive care rather than incidental support.
Residents occupy private or semi-private suites. The community offers restaurant-style dining, a beauty salon and barbershop, lounges, courtyard gardens, and a calendar of cultural, educational, religious, and social programming.
For families in Ocean County seeking a facility that can manage complex, concurrent medical needs without farming out specialized care to outside providers, The Havens has the on-site program depth to support that.

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 305 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.
