Montclair Elder Services offers assisted-living care designed for residents who need help with daily tasks and ongoing health supervision. A licensed nurse oversees medication management, coordinates with each resident’s physicians, and conducts regular wellness checks. Caregivers are on duty 24 hours a day to assist with activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility, while also monitoring vital signs and chronic conditions. The community can arrange on-site visits from outside specialists, including podiatrists and physical therapists, so routine medical support is available without requiring frequent trips off-site.
Beyond direct medical attention, the community supports residents with scheduled transportation to medical appointments, in-house therapy programs, and coordination of pharmacy services. Staff members track care plans through an electronic health record system, ensuring timely updates and clear communication with families. Emergency response pendants are offered, and the building is equipped with a backup power supply for critical equipment. Residents also benefit from organized wellness classes that focus on balance, strength, and cognitive health, as well as regular health education sessions.
Accommodations include studio, one-bedroom, and companion suites, each featuring individual climate control, basic cable, and an emergency call system; some layouts add a kitchenette, private patio, or walk-in shower. Weekly housekeeping and personal laundry are standard, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs. Select apartments are pet-friendly, and pets are allowed in designated areas. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Not all accommodations have all the features listed, so prospective residents should confirm specific unit details during a tour.
Residents receive three meals daily in a central dining room, with menus planned by a registered dietitian to address common dietary needs such as low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, and heart-healthy options. Entrées are prepared to order, and staff can adjust portion sizes or textures as needed. A continental breakfast bar opens early for residents who prefer lighter fare, and snacks are available throughout the day. Families can reserve the private dining space for special occasions, and meal plans include hydration stations stocked with coffee, tea, and fruit-infused water.
