What is Assisted Living?
Assisted Living provides a supportive environment for seniors who need help with daily activities but still want to maintain a level of independence. In New Jersey, assisted living offers a range of options, from luxurious three-bedroom apartments with full kitchens and multiple baths to more compact efficiency apartments with partial kitchens and baths.
Minimum requirements for assisted living:
- Three meals a day are provided.
- Weekly housekeeping and laundry services included.
- Assistance with three or more activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing, grooming, bathing, eating, transferring, continence care, and toileting.
- 24/7 staff availability to respond to residents' health and safety needs.
- The cost for these services can vary widely depending on the level of care and amenities provided.
Assisted Living Services & Amenities
Assisted Living typically includes a basic package of services and amenities included in the rent. What each community includes varies quite a bit. Before a move, an RN assessment is conducted which determines the care needs. This will determine the care cost portion of your monthly fees. In this setting, your care package means that staff will come to your apartment or residence at specific times as defined in the care plan.
Here's a list of what might be included:
24 hour on-site staff
- Utilities; water, heat, electric, trash, sometimes phone, cable, internet
- Transportation for shopping and health care appointments
- 1-3 meals a day plus snacks
- Cultural activities
- Wellness programs
- Laundry assistance
- Housekeeping

What Our Clients Say
"Judy Collan was an incredible partner in navigating senior living options for my dad, who needs memory care. She listened carefully to our situation, explained our choices clearly, and quickly identified communities that could meet his needs. Even with me in California and my dad in New Jersey, Judy coordinated everything seamlessly—including connecting us with a great local realtor. She’s knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely compassionate. I highly recommend Judy to any family facing this transition."

"We worked with Judy to help find our parents find an Assisted Living Facility near us. She took us to 5 places for a thorough visit to see which suited their needs. After each visit Judy sent us a detailed summary of each place to help us recall the details of each visit. She helped make the process of choosing the right place much easier for us. We highly recommend Judy’s services as her knowledge is 2nd to None 👍😎 Thanks again Judy❤️❤️❤️ Lisa and Rich , West Long Branch , NJ"

"I'm writing to recommend Judy Collan's services as an excellent Real Estate Professional and Coordinator of Relocations. I live in North Carolina and my mother lives in New Jersey. When it was time for mom to move into assisted living, I did my best to find a senior living property that she would really enjoy. Then, at the same time that I was in need of a Real Estate Professional to help me sell mom's home, we learned that mom would need memory care instead of just assisted living. At this time Judy came into my life. I found her understanding of my circumstances and needs to be spot on, and her ability to address them practical and effective. More so than any other Real Estate Professional that I had contact with at that time. Judy recommended memory care properties and helped me find a memory care property that I'm very happy to call my mom's new home. Judy helped me through the math of determining what exactly we would need in order to support mom in her new home and laid out the plan for selling my mom's home that would get us there. Judy understood the need for speed so that we could relocate my mom to her new safer home. She staged my mom's home with my mom's furnishings, so that it looked as lovely and welcoming as my mom always intended it to be. She developed a spreadsheet so that we could review and discuss the pros and cons of each offer. She secured a cash offer above asking price with inspections waived. This allowed us to close quickly and walk away with the funds needed to take care of my mom. Did I mention that Judy did all of this while I was in North Carolina? She did a wonderful job of keeping me informed of each step in the showing and closing process. She managed all of the details required to reach closing and she found the resources needed along the way to make sure that my mom's furnishings were removed from the home and donated to those who needed and would appreciate them. She even ensured that the WiFi box was returned and credited to my mom's account. While I consider every step of this process to have been completed by Judy above and beyond my expectations, I'd like to share an additional example of what Judy did for my family that meant so much to me. Judy took the time to prepare my mom's new little apartment in the Memory Care Property for her arrival. She hung a floral wreath from my mom's home on the door of her new apartment. She filled the space with family photos and favorite decor. She had my mom's favorite robes, slippers, shoes and clothes hung in the closet and folded in the dresser. She had my mom's toiletries in the bathroom. And had chocolate waiting in mom's new fridge. Judy then took photos of all of her work in the new apartment so that I would know exactly what my mom was walking into as she started her new adventure in memory care. Judy provided a very reassuring experience for both mom and myself. Please contact me at the following email address if I can provide answers to any other questions. But, overall, I can't imagine anyone regretting the use of Judy's services and I would highly encourage you to work with her. Respectfully, skpersonalbest@gmail.com"
