Overview of Garden Terrace Nursing Home

Garden Terrace Nursing Home has operated at 361 Main Street in Chatham, New Jersey for more than five decades, family-owned and family-run the entire time. It’s a small facility, just 34 beds, built around long-term care for residents with cognitive or physical limitations. Peter Flemming, Sr. serves as administrator, continuing that same family oversight.

The neighborhood around the facility is very walkable, with a Walk Score of 83. Most errands, from pharmacy runs to a coffee run for visiting family, can be handled on foot without a car.

Occupancy sits at 88%, with 30 of the 34 beds filled. For a facility this size, that’s a strong utilization rate, and it suggests a steady base of residents and referrals rather than a facility still building its census. Individual therapies and services are available on-site, along with religious services for residents who want them.

New Jersey’s Department of Health, through its Health Facilities Evaluation and Licensing division, inspects skilled nursing facilities across the state. At Garden Terrace, inspection themes have centered on areas like medication management, infection prevention, staffing credentials, dietary service, care planning and documentation, and emergency preparedness.

Garden Terrace fits families looking for a small, established, family-run nursing home in a walkable Chatham neighborhood, where the same ownership has been in place for generations.
