Heath Village
451 Schooley's Mountain Rd, Hackettstown, NJ 07840, Morris County
Heath Village sits on more than 200 acres of hillside grounds along Schooley's Mountain Road in western Morris County. The campus is located just minutes from downtown Hackettstown, home to Centenary University, with straightforward access to Route 80. Wooded trails, open meadows, and mountain scenery shape the surroundings, giving the community a quiet rural feel close to town conveniences.
Living arrangements across the village include single-level apartments, garden homes, and cottages designed for maintenance-free living, alongside upcoming terrace and apartment homes at The Fields. For residents needing higher levels of day-to-day support, The Meadows provides on-site long-term skilled nursing care and short-term rehabilitation in a dedicated 108-bed care facility.
Dining options throughout the neighborhood give residents several distinct places to gather. Morning coffee and quick lunches are served at the Village Café, while Paddy’s Pub provides casual meals and comfort food in a relaxed pub atmosphere. Traditional sit-down dinners with rotating seasonal selections are offered in The Heritage Room, with additional bar and outdoor patio venues planned in the new clubhouse.
Daily life emphasizes staying active outdoors and connected across generations. Residents have access to a heated saltwater pool, pickleball and bocce courts, a three-hole pitch 'n putt course, community gardens, a greenhouse, and a woodworking area. The campus is also home to the Friendship Center, an established intergenerational childcare center where seniors and young children regularly interact.
