Over the past five years, inspection findings show a pattern of improvement.

The facility has had no fines or license actions. Recent inspections came back clean, suggesting the facility has made real headway on those earlier problem areas.

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.

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.
