Aqua Ridge of Montclair provides two levels of residential support: Assisted Living for individuals who need help with everyday tasks and Memory Care for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive conditions. Both programs offer regular access to an on-site doctor, scheduled speech-therapy sessions, diabetes management, and the option for respite or short-term stays when families need temporary coverage.
The community’s clinical resources cover a wide range of needs. Licensed nurses oversee medication management, while occupational and physical therapists develop personalized rehabilitation plans. In-house services extend to incontinence and ambulation help, podiatry, optometry, and massage therapy. Apartments and common areas are laid out to minimize confusion for residents with memory loss, and hospice care can be arranged when appropriate.
Living quarters include private and companion layouts, and not every unit has the same amenities. Depending on the floor plan, residents may find wheelchair-accessible showers, handicap-friendly designs, individual air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, and direct access to outdoor areas or parking. The property is pet friendly, but availability of pet-accommodating rooms varies, so confirming details during a visit is recommended.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who offers restaurant-style service and all-day dining. Menus feature international dishes along with vegetarian, low-sodium, and no-sugar options. Guest meals can be arranged, and nutritional oversight aligns with the community’s broader health programs, including diabetes care.
Amenities include a library and computer lounge, an activity center, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and dedicated fitness and yoga classes. Residents can participate in clubs, social outings, karaoke, happy hour, live music events, birthday parties, dances, swimming, and intergenerational programs designed to foster connections across age groups.
