General Info

Welcome to The Country Home Individualized care for those with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. We are not an Institution. We are a home with a capacity for only 38 residents, The Country Home is small enough to ensure individualized Alzheimer's care, 24/7, but large enough to offer your loved one a variety of senior companions. We truly offer a family environment, and our management team has over 54 years collective experience! Our staff turnover is low which means continuity of care and familiarity with all residents. This enables us to promptly spot any changes and alert family and medical professionals. Our Directors actually live on the property, and our Owners live in a private residence less than 50 yards away. This means they can provide expert back-up assistance to on-duty staff 24/7 in an emergency. Other Alzheimer's homes have managers and RN's that float among several corporate facilities, many miles apart. Our location is ideal for Seniors in a quiet residential neighborhood, but is easily accessible from all major highways. We are only five minutes to the nearest hospital, St. Clare's in Denville, and only 30 minutes from the largest hospital in New Jersey, Hackensack University Medical Center. Other hospitals, acute and sub-acute rehabilitation centers are also nearby. Visitors enjoy taking our residents to nearby restaurants, shops, churches, synagogues and parks. Affordable, Not Exorbitant With seniors now living to 85, 90, 95 or older, you need to conserve your resources recently diminished by the recession so you can afford the best available care for as long as possible. Dementia care can be very expensive. The Country Home offers personalized, professional care 24/7, at a fixed fee that is usually 30, 40, or even 50% less than you could pay in a glitzier, larger facility that has a variety of entry or community fees, service level fees, medication level fees, extra shower fees, laundry fees, and more. You will probably rate Quality Of Care for your loved one the most critical factor, but Affordability undoubtedly ranks very high as well! A Social, Stimulating Environment Research shows that lack of mental and physical stimulation, and lack of social companionship, can accelerate the progression of Alzheimer's disease and other dementia's. We offer a full range of physically, mentally and socially stimulating activities daily. We offer Choice as much as possible so the individual preferences and needs of residents get priority. Our goal is to provide More Good Days! Please peruse the Photo Gallery! Safety & Security Many Alzheimer's patients develop a tendency to explore their surroundings and wander, dangerously. The Country Home's beautiful gardens, walking paths and grounds are surrounded by attractive fencing with locked gates. All doors and windows in our safe Alzheimer's facility are secure. Residents never go outside without supervision and staff know the location of our residents at all times. Some of our residents have come to the Country Home after bad experiences with wandering at larger Alzheimer's homes. Licensed & Monitored by the State The Country Home for Seniors is licensed by the NJ Department of Community Affairs. Like the local authorities, the State regularly inspects The Country Home for safety and other regulatory compliance.
