Montclair Care Center sits right in Montclair, New Jersey, offering a small, family-like community with only 64 beds, so each resident gets individual attention, and it's got a long history in the area, formerly called Gates Manor before Highbridge Healthcare took over in 2019; now it's part of the Highbridge Healthcare Group, with Joshua Rosenberg, LNHA, as administrator. The center handles many kinds of care, such as assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, and even subacute rehab after a hospital stay, and it's licensed under 060702, so standards are clear. You'll find both private and semi-private rooms, some with attached bathrooms, and there's Wi-Fi, cable, and an inside computer room for staying connected, plus a beauty salon and barber shop on-site, and they also let residents bring pets.
Nurses and aides work around the clock for short-term and long-term needs, and residents can get care for different health conditions since they have speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and things like balance or gait training, medication monitoring, cognitive therapy, and even help with eating problems like dysphagia. People appreciate the regular fine dining, art activities, field trips, group discussions, exercise programs like Tai Chi or yoga, and social gatherings, like birthday parties or holiday events. There's a real focus on comfort and safety, with 24/7 emergency support, transportation and parking options, and gardens for getting outside. The community offers on-site religious services, communal dining with guest meals, and upgraded rooms as part of their newer renovations.
Montclair Care Center welcomes Medicaid, Medicare, checks, and credit card payments, and has a known reputation for kind care, with a strong 5.0 rating and a 9.4 score from reviews. Residents and families seem happy with the staff, the small and close-knit feeling, and the specialized services, including hospice and respite care for times when families or residents need extra support short-term or at the end of life. The center keeps a warm, home-like environment while covering the basics and many thoughtful extras, such as room service, shopping trips, recreational activities, and a support team ready to answer questions. Facility tours are available so families can see the upgraded amenities and meet the team for themselves.
