Housing · Independent living · Transitional

A comfortable home, with care already in it.

Private and shared housing, independent living, and transitional housing for veterans and seniors — with private pay accepted and care on hand when it is needed.

What it is

Somewhere safe to live — and a reason to get up.

There comes a point when a house that was fine becomes a problem. A staircase. A bathroom. A night when nobody was there.

Our home is for that moment — and for the moment before it. Some people come for independent living while they are still entirely themselves, and want meals and company and someone nearby without giving up their own room. We offer private and shared housing, so the choice of how much company you keep is yours. Others come for transitional housing — a supportive place to stay for a time while they get settled or recover. And some are adults with disabilities who want a safe, loving home and help with daily living on their own terms.

It is small on purpose: enough people to make a table feel full, few enough that everyone is known. And if what your parent needs is help in their own home instead, we do that too.

Private pay is accepted. We will talk honestly about cost on the first call — what a room includes, and what it adds up to.

Four ways to live here

Independent, shared, transitional, or recovering.

Independent living

Your own room and your own routine, with meals made for you and support a few steps away if you want it. Independent living is what we do best: a senior or an adult with a disability who is done with the upkeep of a house, but not with being independent.

Private & shared housing

Private and shared housing are both available. A private room if you want your own door and your own things around you; a shared room if company and a lower cost suit better. Either way, care is available when you need it and never forced on you.

Transitional housing

Transitional housing is available — a supportive place to stay for a time while you get settled or recover, with care on hand the whole while. It is the middle ground between a hospital and home, and it is somewhere to land without rushing a decision.

Recovery care

A supportive place to stay and get your strength back after a hospital stay, an illness, or surgery — meals, help with daily activities, medication reminders, and someone on hand. Recovery support for seniors and veterans, not medical treatment, and we work alongside your doctor and therapists.

About recovery care

Everyday life

Four things families notice first.

01

A house, not a wing

A real kitchen, a front porch, a living room with the television on. Our residents live in a home in a neighborhood — not in a corridor of numbered doors.

02

A room that becomes theirs

Their own bed, their own photographs on the wall, their own chair by the window. Families are welcome to bring furniture and make it familiar.

03

Meals together — or in your room

Home-cooked food, three times a day, at a table with other people. Dietary needs and preferences are learned, not announced once. Independent living means the choice is yours.

04

Someone awake at night

Care is on hand through the day, and a caregiver is awake overnight. Help with the bathroom, with confusion, with a fall, is a few steps away.

Included

What a resident can count on.

Every arrangement is different, and we would rather talk it through than publish a menu. Here is what the everyday normally looks like.

  • A private or shared bedroom in a family-style home
  • Home-cooked meals and snacks through the day
  • Help with bathing, dressing, and grooming
  • Medication reminders on your doctor’s schedule
  • Laundry, housekeeping, and a tidy room
  • Company, conversation, and shared activities
  • Overnight supervision
  • Rides to appointments and errands

Availability, bedroom details, and what an arrangement costs change. Please call and we will walk you through exactly what is open right now — private pay accepted.

Waiting list

Join Our Waiting List

Rooms fill up, and there is often a waiting list here — that is a good sign, but it is no help if you need somewhere soon. The best way in is to add your name, and we will call you as soon as something opens up.

It costs nothing to join and there is no obligation. You are not signing anything.

Call or text — Teresa can put your name down while you are on the phone.

Add your name — it takes about a minute

Only your name and a phone number are needed; the rest helps us call you with the right room in mind.

How it works

Add your name to our waiting list. We will call you to talk about what you need and answer your questions. Then we agree on an intake date together, so the room and the care are ready when you arrive.

A place on the list is not a commitment, and you are welcome to call us any time at (201) 560-2393 with questions.

What kind of housing

Please do not include medical records or Social Security numbers here. Joining costs nothing and puts you under no obligation.

A safe place to stay

Not everyone who needs a room is a senior.

If you need an affordable room, a safe place to start again, or a stable home as a young person leaving foster care, there is room here — handled quietly and without judgment.

Come see it

The only way to judge a place like this is to stand in it.

Tours are by appointment, so the visit is unhurried and you can ask anything. Bring your parent. Bring your list of questions. Stay as long as you like.

Ask us the hard question: is this the right time?

We will give you a straight answer, even when it means waiting.
