St. Vincent's Nursing Home: Skilled Care in Northern NJ
St. Vincent's Nursing Home is a place of caring with a rich history in healthcare that dates back to 1899 when the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth incorporated St. Vincent's founding home in what was the original immaculate conception church in Montclair. St. Vincent's Nursing Home provided long-term care to the frail, elderly, and dependent adults in Montclair until February 24, 2001. It then relocated to Cedar Grove in a beautiful 14-acre park like setting. It is a modern 151 bed nursing home just 15 minutes from St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson and St. Joseph's Wayne Hospital. Certified by Medicare and Medicaid, St. Vincent's offers Sub Acute Care, Hospice Care, Respite Care and Long Term Care.
