Little Senior Residence sits in Montclair, New Jersey, inside a big old Victorian home that's been around since 1960, and the place still feels like a family home, with all sorts of rooms and cheerful touches, and it's run by registered nurses, three generations of them actually, so folks get care from people who really know their work. This is a 3-story building with 29 beds, tucked away on a quiet residential street, and there's room for families to visit and park too. The facility gives different levels of care, including assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, long-term stays, and even short-term or respite care if a caregiver needs a break, all in one place, so seniors can stay comfortable even if their needs change over time.
Around the building, residents can join in social activities, arts and crafts, educational programs, or take fitness classes, and there's a whole game room, plenty of indoor and outdoor spots to gather, plus areas for devotional services if they want. There's Wi-Fi, cable TV, kitchens or kitchenettes in the rooms, washers and dryers, and even wheelchair-friendly access everywhere, with a working sprinkler system for safety. Trained staff offer health and wellness help, laundry, personal care, wound care, and meals planned by chefs, served in a dining room that feels like part of the home. There's a salon and barbershop, therapy staff for physical, occupational, or speech needs, and personal assistants to help with daily things, walking, or moving around in wheelchairs.
Staff keep up their training so they can provide the best care and everyone gets a personal care plan, set up to meet health or memory care needs and to help with recovery after illness. Folks can stick to their own routines but join in scheduled events to stay active and connect with others, and the place is known for making things feel homey and supportive without losing sight of safety or high-quality care-even the billing is kept simple so it's easy to keep track of. Families say the staff treat everyone with respect and warmth, and with only 29 residents at once, things never feel too crowded or busy. For people who want to live as independently as possible, but might need some extra help, or for those who need more nursing or memory support, Little Senior Residence does its best to meet real needs without a lot of fuss.
