Overview of Arbor Terrace Roseland

Arbor Terrace Roseland in Roseland, NJ, is licensed as an assisted living residence, with memory care and respite care also included. In assisted living, employees attend to dressing, bathing, and medications as needed by a resident. Memory care provides a secured, supervised environment for individuals whose dementia poses a risk of wandering.

Possessing both levels available allows a resident with increasing needs to progress without relocating. That pairing suits an individual requiring assisted living or memory care at present, along with a couple preparing for potential future care needs that could change.

Respite refers to a brief scheduled stay, organized by a household when the home caregiver has a planned trip or needs time for recovery. Studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations are all offered, with the two-bedroom providing space for a couple to cohabitate. Animals are permitted, so a resident’s pet can come along.

The facility has 100 beds and is operated by Shp V Roseland, LLC, with Ms. Shannon Basile serving as the administrator. At 34, the Walk Score is car-dependent. Most errands require a vehicle, and a resident unable to drive will need assistance from someone to provide transportation for regular shopping.
