Overview of Residences at Chestnut Hill

Residences at Chestnut Hill is located right on Chestnut Street in Passaic, New Jersey, just about a mile from the center of town. If you value being able to get around without a car, this is actually a pretty solid location; it has a Walk Score of 84, so you can handle most of your daily errands on foot, and it makes visiting a lot easier for your family since parking isn’t a constant stressor.

The facility is an 111-bed nursing home managed under the Complete Care brand, with Naftali Feld overseeing the operations. They focus on providing a pretty full range of support, including nursing care, hospice, palliative services, and respite stays, plus on-site rehab and 24-hour staffing. It’s also worth noting that St. Joseph’s University Medical Center is just 3 miles away, which is a practical safety net if you ever need to transition to acute care quickly.

The day-to-day setup seems geared toward keeping things active. They have a restaurant-style dining room with meals that are dietician-approved, and the activity calendar is fairly packed with fitness classes, workshops, and organized outings. You’ll also find a gym and a barber on-site.

One big thing to keep in mind for your planning: this facility is private pay only. They aren’t a CMS-certified provider for Medicare or Medicaid, so you’ll want to make sure that aligns with your financial strategy. Ultimately, if you’re looking for a structured, urban environment that handles high-level nursing needs and has everything under one roof, this is a very logical option to evaluate.

Overview of Complete Care at the Havens

Complete Care at the Havens sits on Route 37 West in Toms River’s Pine Lake Park neighborhood. At a Walk Score of 37, the location is firmly car-dependent. That is fairly typical for this part of Ocean County, and for a facility oriented around post-acute and clinical care, it is unlikely to be a barrier for most prospective residents.

The service and program roster here is the defining feature of this profile. On the services side: rehabilitation, short-term rehab, subacute rehab, orthopedic rehab, respiratory care, renal care, wound care, stroke recovery, and cardiac care.

Licensed nurses and CNAs staff the clinical operations. The named programs go further still: Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapies, Audiology Care, Colostomy Care, X-Ray Services, Palliative Services, Dementia Services, Dental Services, Podiatry Care, Psychiatric Services, and TPN. X-ray on-site and TPN point toward a level of medical infrastructure that goes beyond standard rehabilitation or assisted living. So does Dementia Services, which suggests structured cognitive care rather than incidental support.

Residents occupy private or semi-private suites. The community offers restaurant-style dining, a beauty salon and barbershop, lounges, courtyard gardens, and a calendar of cultural, educational, religious, and social programming.

For families in Ocean County seeking a facility that can manage complex, concurrent medical needs without farming out specialized care to outside providers, The Havens has the on-site program depth to support that.

Overview of Complete Care at Holmdel

Complete Care at Holmdel sits on N Beers Street in Holmdel’s Morrell Corners neighborhood, a somewhat walkable area with a Walk Score of 48. The nearest general hospital, HMH Riverview Medical Center, is about 8 miles out.

The facility carries 67 beds at 86.6% occupancy, which is a relatively full house for a smaller community. Services include rehabilitation, short-term rehab, respite care, post-acute care, and 24-hour staffing. A Hoyer lift on-site signals capacity for residents with significant mobility limitations, the kind of equipment detail that matters for families placing someone who needs full-assist transfers.

One piece of information families should have upfront: this facility is not listed as a CMS-certified Medicare or Medicaid provider. That means coverage through those programs is not available here, and payment is expected to be private.

For adults in Monmouth County who need post-acute care or rehabilitation outside the Medicare and Medicaid system, and whose care needs include significant physical support, Complete Care at Holmdel is a moderately sized option with the staffing and equipment profile to match that level of need.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in New Jersey

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New Jersey?

Assisted living in New Jersey is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New Jersey Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — New Jersey Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 309 nursing homes in New Jersey. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
