Independence Manor at Hunterdon provides Assisted Living care for older adults who need day-to-day help while maintaining as much independence as possible. The community is equipped to handle residents who wander, are at risk for elopement, require oxygen, need specialized diets, or are living with advanced dementia. Individuals under 60 can be accepted, and diabetic management spans oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols.
Registered and licensed nurses are on-site around the clock, with additional oversight from an activity director and staff who have completed background checks. Night shifts are awake, and the building uses door alarms, WanderGuard systems, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response devices so staff can respond quickly. Podiatry services are brought in regularly. Residents can receive some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, standby supervision for meals, and transfers that accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, or a one-person assist.
Apartments are available in several layouts. Depending on the unit, residents may have a private bathroom, a kitchenette for light food preparation, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, and cable access. Not every accommodation includes every feature, so prospective residents should verify specifics during a tour.
Meals are prepared to order, and snacks are accessible throughout the day. The kitchen accommodates physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications and management programs, making it possible to align daily menus with residents’ medical or nutritional requirements.
Community amenities include outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments and local destinations. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
