Green Hill

103 Pleasant Valley Way, West Orange, NJ 07052
Overview of Green Hill

Green Hill offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care and skilled nursing in West Orange, NJ. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living supports daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, and nursing home care and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Because Green Hill offers several care levels, a resident whose needs grow can transition in place without leaving the community. The range of care may make Green Hill a good fit for someone who wants the possibility of moving to a higher level of support without relocating. Green Hill has 77 beds, and Mr. Moshe Birnbaum serves as the administrator.

Rehabilitation services and short term rehab give residents access to therapy during a temporary recovery stay. An on site executive chef prepares meals, with cuisine overseen by an on staff dietician, while the salon and spa provide personal care services within the community. Green Hill opened in 1866.

Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid and private pay, allowing families to use public benefits when eligible or personal funds to cover care. A Walk Score of 50 / 100 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to manage certain outings independently.
