Overview of Hunterdon Care Center

Hunterdon Care Center provides nursing home, memory care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Flemington, NJ. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for residents at risk of wandering. Palliative care adds comfort-focused support for residents managing serious illness, and respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The community also offers rehabilitative care, short-term rehabilitation, and Alzheimer’s care. Rehabilitative services support recovery after an illness, injury, or hospital stay, while Alzheimer’s care provides memory-focused support for residents living with the disease. The range of services may be a good fit for a resident who needs ongoing nursing support, memory-focused care, or a temporary stay during a caregiver’s absence.

Hunterdon Care Center has 185 beds, making it a larger community with more residents, staff, and usually more programming than a smaller home. Total nurse staffing is 3h 32m per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time assigned to each resident.

Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted. Medicaid can help when savings may not cover a long stay, Medicare covers short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence, and private pay allows families to fund care directly. Prime Care Health operates the community, and Mr.. Yosef Gastfreund serves as administrator.

A Walk Score of 81 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.

At the moment, 128 of the 180 beds are filled, putting occupancy at 71%. The average length of stay is 120 days, and the current census runs heavily toward Medicaid residents.

Clinical depth is one of the facility’s more notable features. Alongside the standard short-term rehab and long-term nursing tracks, the service list includes stroke and cardiac rehabilitation, pulmonary rehab for COPD, wound care, IV therapy, orthopedic rehab, trach rehab, LifeVest care, hospice and palliative care, and a dedicated veterans care program. A physician is available around the clock. Total nursing care runs 3 hours and 48 minutes per resident per day, with RNs providing 42 minutes of that.

State inspections have touched on themes including emergency preparedness, staffing and staff credentials, dietary and food service, and resident rights and protections.

On the amenity side, the facility offers beauty services, concierge services, pet therapy, pastoral services, therapeutic recreation, yoga and Tai Chi, computer classes, and horticulture. The activity calendar covers coffee and tea socials, birthday and holiday celebrations, and special events and performances. An Active Resident Council meets regularly, per CMS records. Ms. Patricia Celecki is the Administrator.

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.
