Thrive at Montvale

Thrive at Montvale sits at 110 Summit Ave in Montvale, New Jersey, and stands as a three-story senior living community designed to help folks feel a sense of belonging, with both independent living, assisted living, and memory care options all in one place so people can stay as their needs change. The building's filled with light and has open spaces, lots of places to gather together, and features that honor Bergen County with its modern farmhouse style and vaulted ceilings, and you'll find things like a Social Court, which is like a big indoor park almost two-thirds the size of a football field, where folks get together for concerts, banquets, or just to watch a game. There's an Athlete Center that's got top equipment, pickleball courts outside, bocce ball, and walking trails, along with a greenhouse if you're into plants, an outdoor kitchen for group meals, a dog wash station since pets are allowed, and places for kids to play when they visit. You'll see both an indoor and outdoor movie theater, a cinema space seating 75, and a big library stocked full, plus salon and barbershop services for daily needs. For food, there are several choices with three different dining venues for sit-down entrees or grab-and-go bites, as well as the Convivium Coffee Co. which serves up daily craft coffees, gelato, and a high-end café menu, making things comfortable and familiar. Apartments give you studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom floorplans, with some options for balconies and outdoor access, ranging from cozy studio Harbor Suites in memory care at 347 square feet to roomy 2-bedrooms over 1,000 square feet for assisted living, with independent living options as well, all set up so folks can age in place while getting help with things like bathing and grooming if needed. Transportation is available for errands or outings, and the place is just a mile from shopping and local parks, cafes, restaurants, and post offices. Thrive at Montvale has staff on hand to help with care when people need it, including visiting doctors, mobile lab and x-ray, outpatient rehab, and medication support, and they make a point of responding to families' questions and updates, even by text or email. They offer guides, planning tools, floorplans, stories, and more on their website, and encourage people who might move in to come for a tour and see the lively community themselves. With pets welcome and a big focus on options for all stages of senior life, Thrive at Montvale aims to feel much more like a true community than an institution, and keeps things clean, safe, and pretty with plenty of space to walk, relax, and get together.
