The Orchards Assisted Living in Jackson, NJ offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, including programs for residents with mild to advanced dementia. Care teams are equipped to manage a wide range of medical needs—day and night wandering, elopement risk, combative behaviors, sleep inversion, complex wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, diabetes (oral meds and injections), and support for adults younger than 60. Residents who need constant monitoring for cognitive or physical conditions receive individualized plans that are reviewed regularly by licensed nursing staff and the interdisciplinary team.
Around-the-clock clinical oversight is provided by RNs or LPNs who are on site 24 hours a day, with an additional nurse on call. Podiatry services come to the building, limiting the need for outside appointments. Safety systems include staffed entrances, door alarms, WanderGuard technology, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response pendants. Caregivers can deliver full assistance for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in walker, wheelchair, standby, and one-person transfers. An Activity Director coordinates therapeutic programming that aligns with each resident’s care plan.
Apartments are offered in several layouts; some have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service, and residents may personalize their spaces with paint and décor—availability of these features varies by unit. The culinary team serves a set menu with alternate choices at each meal, keeps snacks available throughout the day, and works closely with clinical staff to manage special diets such as diabetic, low-sodium, or mechanically altered textures.
Independent Living residents on campus can add medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, and laundry services, and they may enroll in a monthly meal plan that provides access to the community’s dining room while preserving their autonomy.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-friendly common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a stair glide, and scheduled transportation for appointments and outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
