Montclair Care Center is a 64-bed nursing home on Gates Avenue in Montclair, tucked into the Essex County hills. Run by Montclair Care Center, LLC and administered by Joshua Rosenberg, the facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For visitors, the surrounding neighborhood has a walkability score of 78 out of 100, making it easy to get around to local shops and transit on foot.
The care here leans heavily toward short-term recovery. Alongside long-term skilled nursing and respite care, the facility runs subacute and short-term rehabilitation programs. Residents stay for about 99 days on average, which points to a focus on post-acute rehab rather than permanent residency. To support this, the building has 24-hour staffing, providing an average of 3 hours and 36 minutes of nursing care per resident every day.
Past state inspections have turned up issues tied to building maintenance, paperwork, and medication handling, though more recent visits show the facility has been moving toward steady compliance. Looking at its broader regulatory record, the center holds a citations-per-inspection rate of zero.
For daily life, residents live in private or semi-private suites and have access to a courtyard patio, a beauty salon and barbershop, a library, Wi-Fi, and daily housekeeping and laundry. Meals are tailored to individual diets and served in a structured dining setting. The activities calendar is kept full with games, crafts, live performances, holiday celebrations, religious services, and trips out into the community.
Montclair Care Center is administered by Joshua Rosenberg.
