Overview of South Amboy Adult Day Health Care Center

South Amboy Adult Day Health Care Center sits at 540 Bordentown Avenue in South Amboy, New Jersey, and it offers memory care, adult day care, and respite care all in one place. The neighborhood is very walkable, with a Walk Score of 74, so families can handle most errands on foot instead of needing a car.

Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants staff the center, and they support more than daily adult day care. The center also offers rehabilitation services and respite stays, which means it can help two different kinds of families: those managing an ongoing memory care need and those who just need a short break, knowing trained staff are there to help.

When state inspectors visit, they tend to look at how care is planned and documented, along with how well the facility protects resident rights. These are common areas of routine review at this type of facility, not signs of any specific problem.

The center also accepts Medicaid, which gives families a way to help cover costs. For a family that needs both daytime memory care and occasional respite support, South Amboy Adult Day Health Care Center offers a walkable, licensed place built around those two needs.

The Actors Fund Homes

155-175 West Hudson Avenue, Englewood, NJ 07631
Overview of The Actors Fund Homes

The Actors Fund Homes is based in Englewood, NJ, with memory care, skilled nursing, assisted living, and nursing home care on the license. Nursing home and skilled nursing both mean a licensed nurse in the building overnight as well as through the day. Assisted living is the lighter version, help with dressing, bathing, medication, and the other daily tasks.

Supervision inside a secured area is what memory care comes to, for someone at risk of wandering. Because all four are licensed at one building, a resident whose needs grow is not also facing a move. Forty-four beds are licensed here.

Short-Stay Rehabilitation is named as a service, with rehabilitation services beside it, so a recovery stay happens where the person already is. A Walk Score of 95 is a walker’s paradise, and at that number the daily errands stop needing a car at all. Mr. Jordan Strohl is the administrator, and Actors’ Fund of America operates the community.

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.
