The Chelsea At Fair Lawn provides three levels of residential care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care for residents with mild dementia. On-site medical support includes scheduled audiology and dental services as well as access to a dedicated therapy room, enabling many routine clinical needs to be managed without leaving the building. The presence of skilled nursing oversight coordinates these services with each resident’s personal physician, helping to streamline care plans across the community’s different living options.
Residents who need help with daily personal tasks receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Staff members are trained in multiple transfer techniques and equipment, accommodating walkers, wheelchairs, and one-person transfers to promote safety during movement. By combining hands-on support with the facility’s clinical resources, the community can adapt to changing mobility or health status while allowing residents to remain in familiar surroundings.
Accommodation choices range from studios to larger suites. Depending on the specific apartment, features can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry pick-up. Because floor plans vary, not every unit contains every feature listed, so prospective residents and families should verify which amenities come with the apartment they select.
Meals are prepared on-site and served restaurant-style, with menu adaptations available for physician-ordered diets. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions. Independent Living residents maintain autonomy but can still opt into housekeeping and laundry services designed specifically for that level of care, easing day-to-day chores without sacrificing independence.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, internet access, and organized special-interest clubs. Religious services are conducted on-site, and scheduled transportation covers medical appointments, local errands, and outings, supplemented by proximity to public transit and an in-house Townecar service. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
