Essex House of Montclair

Essex Guest House Of Montclair sits in a 150-year-old Victorian home, a registered site with the Montclair Historical Society at 271 Claremont Ave, Montclair, New Jersey. The facility houses up to twenty-seven residents and operates as a NJ State Licensed Class C boarding home.

The community offers assisted living, independent living, dementia care, memory care, respite care, hospice services, and home care. Nurses and well-trained staff provide care and 24-hour supervision, helping residents with daily needs, incontinence care, memory care, diabetic care, and non-ambulatory care. Meals are provided every day, and there are both indoor and outdoor common areas where residents can gather. The facility is fully accessible, with wheelchair accessible showers and parking available for residents. Pets are allowed, but smoking isn't permitted in any indoor areas. The staff organizes activities, sometimes offsite, and offers structured social and educational programs to help residents stay active and connected. Multilingual support is available with English spoken, and staff help book appointments. Transportation's available, including a complimentary service and another option at cost, with easy access to nearby public transit. The home accepts short-term or respite stays, and you'll find it's easy for visitors to see photos of rooms and community spaces. It's a friendly place focused on complete care and support for seniors, offering a safe, caring family environment with regular hours Monday to Saturday, closing on Sundays. Essex Guest House Of Montclair is also part of the VA Residential Care Program and is licensed as a long-term care facility, with care homes providing custom care solutions and a private setting for seniors who need some extra help to live well.
