The Country Home provides a small, home-like setting with care for seniors needing assisted living, memory care, and nursing services, having a total of 38 residents, which means staff can pay close attention to each person and really get to know them, especially since many of the aides have worked there for years and help each other out. The place accepts both men and women, and there's room for those who want to bring their pets along. The building is fully sprinklered, has a central fire alarm, alarmed windows, and a fully fenced yard, so folks who might be prone to wandering-especially those with Alzheimer's or dementia-can stay safe, and they can even use technology like alarm bracelets if needed. Residents can choose between private and semi-private rooms, and those with memory care needs get special attention in a secure, purpose-built memory care building, where the staff are awake and available round the clock. There's a strong focus on personal care-help with bathing, eating, transferring, grooming, dressing, and toileting-along with medication supervision and administration by certified staff, including insulin or other injectables. Nurses are on-site, with RNs doing weekly checkups, and there's a nurse on call if anything comes up unexpectedly. The facility also brings in dentists, podiatrists, and physical therapists, providing services like incontinence care and hospice if needed.
Residents get three home-cooked, nutritious meals a day plus snacks, and housekeeping, linen, and personal laundry are all taken care of, so family visits can be about spending time together, not chores. Parking for residents is available, and the building is close to bus routes and major highways for those who like to get out or for family who visit often; flexible visiting hours let folks stay as involved as they like with their loved ones. There are both indoor and outdoor common areas, places to relax or join in activities, and the staff put together different programs that mix social events, spiritual services, physical and mental activities, pet therapy, holiday parties, and some outside entertainment, like when an eighth grader comes to play piano. The facility lets people smoke outdoors in private and public areas. There's an on-site beauty and barber shop, and transportation for appointments or outings is provided at no charge.
Memory care at The Country Home is aimed at helping seniors with dementia and Alzheimer's, with special programs, custom care plans, and dedicated behavioral support, even for those with major behavioral issues or exit-seeking. The small environment means residents see familiar faces and feel more at home instead of lost in a crowd, and the 7-to-1 aide-to-resident ratio means someone's usually close by. Staff can even coordinate outside referrals when needed, and offer support group and informational services for caregivers, working closely with both families and health care people to adjust care as needs change. The home is licensed and monitored by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, and it's been around for nearly 30 years, with a management team who together have over 54 years of experience. Fees, including for respite care, are fixed and often less than bigger options, and memory care rooms run about $7,400 for a one-bedroom and $6,900 for a semi-private. They offer tours, day clubs, and trial stays for those thinking about moving in. Residents can have as much choice in daily activities as possible and stay as active, social, or quiet as they want, with close watch by staff if they're at risk of wandering. The Country Home aims for a low-key, familiar place where seniors can find safety and routine, and families can feel at ease leaving their loved ones in the care of a steady, attentive team.
