Stonebridge at Montgomery Healthcare Center

Stonebridge at Montgomery Healthcare Center sits at 100 Hollinshead Spring Rd in Skillman, New Jersey, right in Somerset County, and offers a mix of services for seniors looking for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, and home care. The place is a nonprofit Life Plan Community, sometimes called a Continuing Care Retirement Community or CCRC, which means residents can stay there as their care needs change without having to move. Stonebridge has private apartments ranging from studios to one- and two-bedroom homes, plus cottage-style options, with sizes from 315 to 1,600 square feet, all with safety and handicap features, regular housekeeping, and on-call maintenance.

Residents get three meals a day in a restaurant-style dining room and can pick vegetarian options if that's what they like, with meals included in the service plan. There's a whole wellness program called LivWell, focused on physical, mental, and spiritual health, and plenty of programs to keep busy, like daily exercise, yoga, woodworking, arts and crafts, educational sessions, clubs, social and religious activities, and off-site trips to local spots like museums, parks, and historical sites. Folks have access to amenities such as a fitness center, heated indoor pool, club room, art studio, library, greenhouse, game and activities room, outdoor garden, and walking trails, and there's also golf course access for those who enjoy that. For people who need more help, they offer assisted living and memory care with medication management, daily activity help, and round-the-clock nurse support, plus special care for dementia, post-acute needs, and chronic conditions, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy in dedicated care units.

The place keeps safety in mind with 24-hour security, concierge services, regular housekeeping, and transportation for appointments or outings. The healthcare center has 40 nursing facility rooms, all private, with specialized staff for the different care levels. As a nonprofit, Stonebridge puts effort into diversity, equity, and inclusion, and has earned a Medicare rating of 4.6 out of 5, with only one deficiency noted in inspections, and accepts both Medicare and Medicaid for payment. Residents and families have access to counseling, family outreach, and a range of guest services, and people can check things out ahead of time with virtual tours or look at photo and video galleries online. There's a focus on social connection, too, with lots of clubs, organized events, and a welcoming, community feel, and the Lifecare contract helps make the costs more predictable for those thinking about staying for the long term. The community offers a maintenance-free lifestyle, upscale living spaces, and access to reliable healthcare and support right on site, letting residents age in place with the team's support as their needs develop.
