Montclair Estates offers Independent Living, a care level designed for residents who can manage most day-to-day tasks on their own but still want a setting that keeps basic medical safeguards in place. An emergency call system links each apartment to staff members who are available around the clock, and regular wellness checks help identify changes in health before they become problems. Coordination with local physicians, pharmacy partners, and home health agencies allows residents to add services such as physical therapy or nursing visits when short-term or ongoing medical attention becomes necessary. Transportation to area clinics and hospitals is scheduled routinely so residents can keep outside appointments without relying on family or ride-share apps.

Beyond these clinical safeguards, Montclair Estates supports overall health through structured programs that encourage preventive care and active lifestyles. On-site exercise classes, balance training, and walking groups help maintain mobility, while educational sessions cover topics such as chronic-condition management and nutrition. Staff members handle prescription reorders and can provide reminders for those who request them, reducing the risk of missed doses. The community also works with visiting specialists for services like podiatry and mobile lab work, sparing residents from extra trips when possible.

Accommodations include studio and one-bedroom apartments equipped with step-in showers, individual climate controls, and emergency pull cords; select floor plans add kitchenettes, patios, or extra storage, but not all apartments have every feature. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are standard, and basic utilities are bundled into the monthly fee. Small pets are allowed, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

Meals are served three times a day in the central dining room, with entrée choices at each sitting and a salad bar available most days. The culinary team follows a rotating menu that meets general dietary guidelines while still offering options compatible with low-sodium, diabetic, or heart-healthy plans. Residents can request tray service in their apartments during short-term illness, and a separate bistro area stays open between meals for coffee, snacks, and light fare.
