Overview of Hudson Hills Senior Living

Here’s the thing about Hudson Hills Senior Living: it’s not just one type of care, it’s three. Nursing home, assisted living, and independent living all live under one roof in North Bergen, New Jersey. That’s what makes it a continuing care retirement community, or CCRC for short.

What that actually means for a family is pretty simple. If your parent’s needs change five years from now, they don’t necessarily have to pack up and move somewhere new. The whole point of a CCRC is that care can shift around the resident instead of the resident having to shift around the care. That’s a real logistical relief, not just a marketing phrase.

The building itself is three stories, and residents can choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom layouts. Square footage runs from about 348 up to 975 feet, so there’s a real range depending on what someone needs or can afford. It’s in the Bergen Turnpike neighborhood, and honestly, the walkability here is genuinely impressive. A Walk Score of 93 lands it in “Walker’s Paradise” range, meaning groceries, pharmacies, and daily errands are mostly doable on foot.

On-site, residents have access to transportation services and fitness and recreation offerings. Two amenities, not a long list, but they cover two different needs: getting places you can’t walk to, and staying physically active once you’re there.

What you get is a facility built around continuity. Three care types, one address, a genuinely walkable neighborhood. For a family trying to plan more than just the next year or two, that structural flexibility is the throughline here.

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 350 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.
