Overview of Elmwood Hills Healthcare Center

In Blackwood, NJ, Elmwood Hills Healthcare Center is licensed for memory care, palliative care, respite care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. That fits a resident who needs steady nursing or memory support. It also fits a family looking for a short stay while whoever normally provides the care is away or mending.

Both nursing tracks deliver ongoing clinical support. Memory care comes as supervision inside a secured setting, for somebody at risk of wandering off. Palliative care targets comfort, and the relief of symptoms a serious illness brings.

Rehabilitation services run for a resident working to get function back after illness or injury. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay all apply, whether a family is using public benefits, covered skilled care following a hospital stay, or paying directly.

The center has 300 beds. Per resident, 3 hours and 44 minutes of nursing go into a day. A Walk Score of 64 means some errands finish on foot, so losing the car does not cut off every nearby destination. Moshe Weissman 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.
