Does Medicare cover the cost of assisted living in New Jersey?
Medicare in New Jersey will not typically cover the non-medical care expenses associated with assisted living. Medicare typically only covers a short-term stay in a skilled nursing or rehabilitation community while an older adult is recovering from an illness or injury. It can also cover in-home rehab care performed by a home health nurse or therapist.
What is dementia care?
Dementia care (or memory care) lifestyles, programs, and activities are specially designed for those with memory impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, or other forms of dementia. Dementia care can either be offered on its own or, more often, provided as a service in a separate area of an assisted living facility.
Arbor Terrace Norwood's dementia care program is meant to provide support, encouragement, and relationships for each of our residents. And it’s all backed by Arbor’s 30+ years of experience in dementia care.
How is dementia care different from assisted living near Norwood?
Both dementia care and assisted living offer supportive care to people with a range of health issues, including cognitive impairments. Dementia care, however, caters specifically to those with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia through dementia-friendly activities and staff trained in the psychological and physical effects of cognitive impairments.

What’s the difference between Arbor Terrace Norwood and a nursing home near Norwood?
Arbor Terrace Norwood was designed to remind our residents of home, offering private apartments and independence. In fact, some assisted living residents drive their own cars, cook some of their own meals, and come and go as they please. Assisted living at Arbor Terrace Norwood includes dining, housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, and all of the other world-class amenities that Arbor is known for. Our staff is available 24 hours a day to provide help, if and when it’s needed. Assisted living is a great option for seniors who need extra support or who need assistance with day-to-day tasks.
By contrast, a nursing home (also known as a skilled nursing facility) offers more comprehensive support to those who have extensive medical needs in more of a clinical environment. They provide the highest level of care possible outside of a hospital, delivering 24-hour care to seniors who have complex medical conditions and need hands-on assistance and monitoring. Skilled nursing facilities are the best choice for those who need assistance with tasks that go beyond the activities of daily living.
