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.

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.

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.
