Liberty House Nursing Home sits over on Montgomery Street in Jersey City, NJ, and has been serving older adults since 1987, with 180 units and beds, usually keeping most of them filled, about 160 residents most of the time, and you can tell people stay because it feels like a steady place. The community runs on a for-profit model but operates independently, and doesn't own a bunch of other nursing homes, so you get a local touch. It's certified by both Medicare and Medicaid and has had a few deficiencies-9 reported-but hasn't had any fines or penalties, and you won't find it on any special focus list, so it stays in line with what's expected. The building's fully sprinklered for fire safety, has resident and guest parking, plus safety features for folks who need a little more help getting around, and you can pick from different studio-type room layouts, all 180 of them, each ready for 24-hour care.
Liberty House Nursing Home covers a range of care services, from regular nursing care (for both physical and mental needs) to assisted living, independent living, dementia, and memory care, including specialized support for Alzheimer's, with extra help for those who have trouble with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication. Skilled nursing staff-Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants-are around night and day, with an average staff time per resident at about 0.42 hours for RNs, 0.47 for LPNs, and 1.74 for CNAs. They're big on health and safety policies, following quality care guidelines, checking medication, and making sure doctors look in on each resident's care plan and update everything in writing when they visit. They follow standard health inspections, run vaccination programs (about 95% of long-stay residents have had flu and pneumonia vaccines), and keep pharmacy standards in place, which all works together to keep everyone safer.
In addition, Liberty House offers family outreach and education along with resident and family councils, so families can stay involved and informed about what's going on. For meals, you'll find one or two chef-prepared dishes each day, mostly healthy meals, and plenty of low-sodium options and snacks, so you don't see a lot of heavy or salty stuff that some folks have to avoid. Amenities go beyond food-there's a public living area, a hair salon, and laundry and housekeeping services included. Social activities and education programs keep everybody busy and engaged, whether it's just chatting in the living area or joining in community events, which helps give the place a friendly vibe. There's parking for visitors, plus transportation help if someone has a doctor's appointment or another need to go out.
Liberty House Nursing Home is not part of a hospital or a continuing care retirement community, but it does cover different care types and support, including hospice and respite care along with regular short- and long-term stays. Seniors with chronic conditions, dementia, or those needing daily nursing care can find support here, as well as people looking for active independent living who still want some supervision-usually with an age minimum of 55 or 62. The facility offers general healthcare services, podiatry, hearing and dental care, and works to keep people as independent and engaged as possible, focusing on quality of life right along with medical care. While there isn't a lot of information online, Liberty House Nursing Home has earned awards like Best of Senior Living and is known for its caring staff and positive attitude, making it one of those places that tries to make everyone feel treated with dignity, compassion, and respect.
