Monarch Bella Terra in Jackson, NJ offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, allowing residents to move between service levels as their needs change. The community is equipped to manage residents who wander during the day or night, elope, remain awake overnight, require oxygen, follow special diets, or live with diabetes requiring either oral medication or injections. Its Memory Care program also supports residents with advanced dementia conditions, ensuring consistent oversight and continuity of care.

Nursing support includes an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse available on call 24/7. Both awake and asleep night-shift staffing are in place, and an Activity Director coordinates daily engagement. Safety measures include a fully staffed community around the clock, fenced outdoor areas, alarmed doors, WanderGuard technology, pull-cord alerts, and PERS devices. On-site podiatry reduces the need for outside appointments. Direct assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, with transfer help ranging from standby supervision to one-person transfers for walkers and wheelchairs.

Apartments can include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, independent climate controls, and cable service, though not every unit offers every feature. Independent Living residents can handle light cooking in their kitchenette or rely on regular housekeeping and laundry services included in that service level. The dining program provides set menus with snacks available throughout the day, and the culinary team can accommodate doctor-ordered diet modifications, including low-sugar, low-salt, and texture-modified meals needed for conditions such as diabetes or swallowing difficulties.

Residents have access to on-site parking, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, religious services, stair glide, pool, and an in-unit washer and dryer option for Independent Living apartments. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments, shopping, and community outings. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
