Country Arch Care Center

114 Pittstown Rd, Pittstown, NJ 08867
Overview of Country Arch Care Center

Country Arch Care Center is a nursing home in Pittstown, NJ offering hospice care, memory care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing. Nursing home care supports residents who need continuing care, while skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and symptom management for serious illness, while respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The community has 130 beds. Short term rehabilitation, subacute care, and a rehabilitation center allow a resident recovering from illness or injury to receive therapy on site without arranging transportation elsewhere. Private suites provide a single private living space, and the salon and barber shop offer grooming services on site. Residents can also participate in the Asian cultural program, while families have access to a designated family lounge.

Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 25 minutes per resident per day, representing the total daily nursing time allocated per resident. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted; Medicaid may help when savings do not cover a long stay, Medicare may apply to short term skilled care after a hospital stay, and private pay is another payment route. Mr. David Francavilla serves as the administrator. Country Arch Care Center may be a good fit for a family seeking short term respite or rehabilitation alongside access to nursing, memory, hospice, or palliative services in one community.

Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide ongoing nursing support, while memory care offers supervised support for a resident living with dementia.

Post acute rehabilitation programs support recovery after an acute medical stay, while long term care serves residents who need ongoing support. Rehabilitation services include specialized programs for orthopedic, cardiac, neurological, and stroke related care. The range of care can suit someone whose needs may change over time, including a resident who needs memory support, skilled nursing, or a short term respite stay.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover care depending on eligibility and available resources.

Mr. Yosef Cohen serves as the administrator.

Overview of Complete Care at Green Knoll

There are six names on the care list at Complete Care at Green Knoll in Bridgewater, NJ. Skilled Nursing, nursing home care, memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care make up those six.

A resident needing a nurse overnight finds one on duty here. Memory care means a secured setting and eyes on a resident for whom wandering has become a risk. Hospice and palliative care both aim at comfort; the one when life is closing, and the other while treatment carries on.

A household books respite for the stretch when the person who normally cares for an older family member is away. Post-Acute Care and Short-Term Rehab both cover the ground that follows surgery, illness, or injury.

The Rehabilitation Program breaks into named tracks. Orthopedic & Post-Surgical Care, Cardiac Care, Neuro & Stroke Care, Pulmonary Care, Bariatric Care, and Psychology/Psychiatric Care are each listed separately.

The spread here reaches a family wanting cover through a caregiver’s travel or recovery, and equally somebody whose care has turned to comfort. The staffing record sets nursing at 3hours and 3 minutes a day for each resident across 176 beds.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does New Jersey Medicaid cover memory care?

New Jersey Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 362 memory care communities in New Jersey. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
