My mother had a 30 day respit stay at Independence Manor and it was such a wonderful place. The staff is so kind and attentive, the food was amazing, and her therapy team was exceptional. After the 30 days, she was back on her feet with confidence going home. We are so grateful to all of the staff!

Independence Manor at Hunterdo
188 State Highway 31, Flemington, NJ 08822, Hunterdon County
Independence Manor sits along Route 31 among the rolling hills of Flemington in Hunterdon County. The grounds feature landscaped courtyards with seasonal flowers, birdhouses, and birdbaths, giving residents a quiet outdoor retreat close to Hunterdon Medical Center. Inside, the community uses neutral tones and nature-themed artwork to create an unhurried, comfortable atmosphere.
Accommodations include 80 private or companion-style suites in the assisted living wing, alongside a dedicated 10-bed memory care wing called Manor House. Residents are welcome to bring their own furniture, hang keepsakes on their doors, and personalize their space. Memory care suites include their own kitchenettes and full bathrooms, while all apartments offer individual climate controls and emergency pull cords.
Daily meals are served restaurant-style in the main dining room, with an intimate dining space reserved for memory care residents. The culinary team prepares three meals daily, honours special requests, and offers an Always Available menu. Between meals, residents gather in the common areas to play cards, read in the library, or listen to music on the piano and antique victrolas.
A fully equipped gym hosts morning therapy through FOX Rehab followed by afternoon open exercise. Residents also have access to an on-site hair salon, a sun porch, and a therapeutic sensory room designed to ease anxiety for those with cognitive loss. Scheduled group outings take residents into town for shopping, dining, and local events.
The community suits older adults who want to stay active while getting help with daily tasks, as well as those living with early to mid-stage Alzheimer's. Certified nursing staff and aides are in the building 24 hours a day, handling personal care, daily cueing, and medication management. Short-term respite stays of at least 30 days are also supported.

I am so grateful we found Independence Manor. It was time to sell my Mother in Law’s home and get her the daily help she needed. Well, we found more than help. We found new friends who have become like family for my Mom. Mom did a complete 360! She was depressed, barely walking, not active and just feeling down. Within days of moving in, we noticed a huge difference. She’s ALWAYS busy, engaged, active and on the go. She’s dressing herself again, walking, engaging and LIVING again. My husband and I are beyond happy with the care Mom receives. The staff all go above and beyond. I have a lot of experience with my own father and family member at other long term care facilities and they were a nightmare. The nurses are always on top of Mom’s meds and daily needs. The house doctor is great and checks in on Mom weekly and updates us. There is no shortage of activities or events. They are over the top and truly go above and beyond. Independence Manor has given Mom her life back. It’s given us peace of mind as well and allowed us to live our lives knowing Mom is well cared for. We visit all the time…usually Mom is busy lol, which is a good thing. She loves the bus outings and trips to the local stores and eateries. It’s been just shy of a year and the level of care has not only remained consistent but exceeded our expectations. The facility is beautiful, recently remodeled and is always kept up. Mom’s room is always clean and vacuumed. We are forever indented to Independence Manor for giving Mom a loving place to thrive while we have peace of mind. There aren’t enough words to truly praise the staff and their care. Thank you!
My mother moved into Independence Manor two years ago and has loved it from the moment she arrived. She was so filled with gratitude for the community that we threw a party to celebrate the anniversary of her move. It is difficult to imagine an assisted living community better run or better staffed. A compassionate and respectful cadre of nurses, aides and staff go above and beyond the call of duty to bring comfort and companionship to residents, and the sense of teamwork amongst staff is impressive. Nurses and management alike welcome conversations with residents and their families. Monthly resident meetings with management and annual evaluative surveys with prompt follow-up give residents and families alike multiple opportunities for input. The facility and setting are clean and lovely, with an ambience of home. Independence Manor at Hunterdon has my highest possible recommendation.
I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the administration and staff at Independence Manor at Hunterdon - assisted living and memory care community. Mom very much enjoys residing at Independence Manor. She actively participates in activities and has several friends. The staff are friendly and courteous. The nurses and certified nursing assistants are attentive and provide quality care. Mom certainly feels safe in this wonderful environment. That is comforting to me and my family. Quite thoughtful and caring, administration and directors make themselves available with their open door policy— providing assistance when necessary and in a timely manner. It is with gratitude that I highly recommend Independence Manor at Hunterdon in Flemington, NJ.
Independence Manor has been a wonderful place for my mother to be the past year and a half. The staff truly cares about her well-being and they are very responsive to her and to me. The facility is clean and beautiful. From the front desk person to the nurses and aids and to the management staff, I couldn't ask for a better spot for my mother to be.
