304 S. Van Dien Ave, Ridgewood, NJ 07450, Bergen County
Family of Caring Healthcare at Ridgewood provides dedicated skilled nursing care right in the heart of Bergen County. Situated at 304 S. Van Dien Avenue, the setting puts residents near central Ridgewood neighborhoods and key local medical destinations, including Valley Hospital. It is a focused residential setting planned specifically for seniors who require hands-on daily nursing assistance.
The community is licensed for 96 long-term care beds. Rooms and shared areas are arranged to keep clinical support, assistance with mobility, and day-to-day personal care close at hand. The layout helps residents move comfortably between their living quarters and regular care routines.
Daily life centers around structured support, skilled medical monitoring, and routine assistance with everyday activities. The team addresses ongoing health conditions, medication needs, and personal routines to keep residents safe and comfortable throughout the week.
This community suits older adults who can no longer safely live on their own or manage in assisted living due to extensive medical or physical needs. Families have multiple financial avenues for coverage, as the facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
That is the New Jersey median for a semi-private nursing home room, not this community's price. This community's actual rate depends on room type and care level. Ask us for this month's real numbers.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Family of Caring in Ridgewood. My dad spent two weeks there, and the difference between when he arrived and when he left was truly incredible.
When he arrived, he was very weak and dealing with fluid surrounding his lungs and swelling in his ankles. After two weeks of wonderful care and therapy, he came out like a new person. He was walking, talking, and his appetite was back.
I especially want to give a huge shout-out to Joe, the social worker, who was always informative, honest, and helpful throughout the entire process. A special thank-you also goes to Rose, his physical therapist, who worked with him and helped him regain his strength, and Gleda, his nurse, for the wonderful care she provided.
And to all of the nurses, therapists, aides, and everyone else who cared for my dad, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I may not know everyone's name, but please know that your kindness and care did not go unnoticed.
Our family is incredibly grateful for everything you did for him. Seeing my dad walking, talking, eating, and feeling more like himself again means more to us than I can put into words. Thank you for taking such good care of my dad.

Our mom, Michele Vaccaro, received exceptional care. Robin Magher is a true gem! Matthew and the entire staff truly went above and beyond. We are incredibly grateful for the compassionate and exceptional care our mom received during her time here. Losing our mom has been one of the most difficult experiences of our lives, but knowing that she was treated with kindness, dignity, and genuine compassion brought our family comfort during such a heartbreaking time.
The staff went above and beyond to care for my mom and make sure she was comfortable and treated with respect. Their patience, attentiveness, and kindness meant more to our family than we can adequately put into words.
When you love someone deeply, you want to know that they are in caring hands when you cannot be there yourself. We will always be thankful that my mom received that kind of care.
Thank you to everyone who cared for our mom and supported our family. Your compassion will never be forgotten.
Forever grateful, Elise Rudolph and Tara Kapleau

Knowing that my mom doesn't want to be here but that they treat her like she needs to be there allows me to sleep at night until my mom is ready to come home. I trust this facility and recommend it for anyone who needs either a temporary or possibly long term solution for a relative or loved one. This place is great!

From my Mom, Rita Kasey: There are hardly words to describe the care I received for the 3 months I was at Family Of Caring Ridgewood! Mary Lou in PT was above and beyond! She helped me to exercise several times daily and ultimately walk out of there without braces!! She gave me courage and a belief in myself to be able.
Shannon is an incredible OT, with much encouragement toward me to regain strength in my arms and hands again! The staff in general was so helpful, kind and supportive. I met a lot of wonderful friends and had lots of laughs with so many. Thank you to all, and God Bless you for your kindness and support. Love you all and am so grateful. Love, Rita Kasney

Family of Caring took excellent care of my family member when he was there. He was in a really tough situation and everyone at FoC went above and beyond to help him as much as possible. Everyone was really nice and bent over backwards to help him with anything he needed. Thank you to all the staff, aides, nurses, PT/OT, admin, culinary, reception, etc for helping my family when we needed it most. We are very grateful.
