Stein Assisted Living, at 350 DeMott Lane in Somerset, New Jersey, stands on the Wilf Campus for Senior Living and runs as a nonprofit with Jewish values. The community has private and semi-private rooms, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, and some have kitchenettes, high ceilings, and climate control. Prices for memory care studios average $6,636 a month, with semi-private rooms around $4,791 and a community fee of $3,000; respite care is available for $208. Residents get housekeeping, meals, laundry, and postal services, plus meal options like Kosher food and private dining for family visits and events.
Stein Assisted Living gives different levels of help from light to heavy care, depending on what people need, and the staff can help with bathing, dressing, medication, and even insulin injections and blood sugar checks-though they can't do sliding scale therapy. There's skilled nursing, hospice, transitional, rehabilitation, respite, and palliative care all under one roof, so folks can stay even if they need more help later on. The memory care section sits in its own purpose-built, secure building, fitted with a computerized wandering alert system, alarmed bracelets, and locked areas. Staff can help residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, give reminders for bathroom breaks, and care for people who can't walk or transfer alone, using standby help or a mechanical lift.
There's a nurse on-site around the clock and personalized care plans for every resident. Staff get good reviews for being kind and helpful to residents and families, especially during harder times. The staff also accept folks with challenging behaviors in the memory care wing. There are plenty of things to do, including devotionals, Sabbath, and holiday celebrations, social events like bingo, fitness and exercise rooms, a library, courtyards, a beauty salon/barber, and media rooms with free Wi-Fi and TV. The grounds are kept tidy, and everything feels more like a comfortable home, with gardens and open walkways.
Residents get transportation to doctors, community outings, and errands. There's a concierge for personal guest needs and a fitness room for staying active. Stein sits near places like Walgreens, Starbucks, and Edison Diner, and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital is close by for emergencies.
The community connects with LeadingAge and Value First group purchasing, helping keep costs reasonable and resources good. The leadership team, including Vice President Jean Leone, keeps things running smoothly. Stein Assisted Living runs its Assisted Living Program, skilled nursing, and memory care, and supports people who want to stay more independent as long as possible. Many of the activities, celebrations, and services follow Jewish traditions, but people from all backgrounds are welcome. They offer 24-hour help, safety features like call buttons in every room, and ongoing medical support. People who live here have described it as a place with friendly faces, a warm atmosphere, good food, and a focus on dignity and community.
