The Chelsea at Fair Lawn
15-00 River Road, Fair Lawn, NJ 07410, Bergen County
The Chelsea at Fair Lawn sits right along River Road in Bergen County. The location makes it easy to reach from neighboring communities like Paramus, Ridgewood, Glen Rock, and Elmwood Park. The modern rental building is designed to bring different care levels under one roof, letting residents stay in familiar surroundings as their needs change over time.
Living options include private apartments that residents can customize with their own furniture, pictures, and favorite belongings. Bright common areas provide comfortable gathering spaces to sit with family or chat with neighbors. Maintenance is handled on site, taking away the daily chores of homeownership so residents can simply focus on their day.
Daily life revolves around a full schedule of activities, music, and group games. Residents can take part in themed parties or head down to the daily social hour to catch up with friends. On-site dining brings everyone together for regular meals, and planned events offer plenty of chances to stay active and connected.
Care options cover independent living, assisted living, dedicated memory care, and short-term VIP stays. Round-the-clock staff members are available to help with medication, bathing, dressing, and mobility. A dedicated memory care program provides structured routines for those living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, along with therapy services including physical, occupational, and speech support.

My mother has been living at the Chelsea at Fair Lawn since December 2024. It is a decent and caring place. Every community and every facility has its challenges, but I have found there to be a majority of staff and residents who are concerned and supportive; I have even found a few genuinely kind and delightful people who are truly a gift to Mom and to me. The Chelsea is an unpretentious and friendly Community where I have been able to help my mom navigate the challenges of being an elder in a rather stressful world. Every time I visit with her, I enjoy being in that environment. And, even more important, I feel peaceful when I leave at the end of the evening. I feel she is in safe hands in a caring environment and that is worth everything!
Our Mom has been at the Chelsea (the cottage) since it basically opened two years ago. We can not say enough amazing comments about The Chelsea Fair lawn. The facility itself is new, clean and super user friendly. The staff is phenomenal. Each and every staff member is kind, compassionate, loving and takes care of our mother as if they were their own. I’m always impressed how all residents are up and out of their rooms socializing whether it’s meals or activities, they are never alone. We also very much appreciate that the Chelsea also collaborates and hosts activities for the cottage and assisted living residents together when appropriate, which is really nice! We are absolutely thrilled and grateful to have such wonderful care for our mom!
The facility is clean and tastefully decorated. The staff is very attentive. There are lots of activities for the residents. Administration keeps families and residents well informed of any issues that may occur
My Mom has been at Chelsea since Aug 2023. It has been a wonderful experience. The apartments are brand new and the common areas are beautiful. The staff are very kind and caring and the chef is outstanding. I especially want to call out Lucy P. She has been a true friend to my mother. She ensures she includes her in all the activities and makes my mother feel needed and valued. This has really been life changing for my mother but also for her children who can now take comfort in knowing she is in such a great place.
