On the edge of the Green Brook Country Club lies Sunrise at West Essex, a senior living community offering assisted living, memory care, and respite care. The cost for assisted living starts around $5,295 a month, a more affordable rate than the $6,065 average in Fairfield, NJ. The living spaces available in this retirement community are studio and one-bedroom apartments, along with two-room and companion suites. Private living residences are equipped with a kitchenette, bathroom with safety features, individual climate control, and an emergency response system. Basic utilities are included in each resident's monthly fees. Care services include housekeeping, scheduled transportation, laundry services, a chef-inspired meal plan with restaurant-style dining, medication management, an activities calendar, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) like dressing, bathing, and toileting.
Without the chores that go with owning a home, residents of the assisted living community can lead a more active lifestyle. Seniors living in this memory care residence are given a more involved level of care from a specially trained staff. This retirement community's residents enjoy convenient amenities, such as a bistro, therapy room, private dining room for special family times, and comfortable common areas. The campus is near a variety of restaurants, shopping options, parks, pharmacies, and recreational areas. Health care is close, at Mountainside Hospital. Fairfield Recreation offers three tennis courts, and public swimming pools are nearby, located at Caldwell Pool in Memorial Park and the Caldwell-West Caldwell YMCA. Sunrise at West Essex strives to provide quality senior care in a safe home environment.
