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.

The Berkley Estates neighborhood in Neptune has a Walk Score of 30. This means the area has moderate walkability.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Newark, NJ

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 15 nursing homes in Newark, NJ. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Newark, NJ?

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 Newark, NJ, 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 Newark, NJ?

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.
