Overview of Complete Care at Voorhees

Complete Care at Voorhees offers six care types in Voorhees, NJ. They are memory care, palliative care, hospice care, respite care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing.

Skilled nursing and nursing home care are two names for a single provision of licensed nursing on the premises. Memory care is defined by the place rather than by any specific task. It’s a secured setting for someone who could wander off. Hospice care is aimed at comfort, and palliative care is too, but beside an illness that’s still being treated.

Respite care covers short stays. It is the single care type here that assumes the resident is going to go home again. That is what a family arranges when the usual caregiver needs a break or time for their own recovery.

Post acute care, short term rehabilitation, and orthopedic and post surgical work are for the weeks after a hospital stay or an operation. Named programs go beyond that. Cardiac, neuro and stroke, pulmonary, renal, bariatric, and psychology and psychiatric care are all also named, and rehabilitation services are there to put therapy where residents already are.

The building is licensed for 190 beds. At 94.2 percent occupancy, most have someone in them, so an opening may not come when a family needs it.

Divide a day of nursing across the census, and each resident’s share is 3 hours and 44 minutes. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, and Susan Love administers the home.

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.
