Garden Terrace Nursing Home
361 Main Street, Chatham, NJ 07928, Morris County
Garden Terrace Nursing Home sits along Main Street in the borough of Chatham, New Jersey. The building was converted from a residential home and keeps the feel of a private residence rather than a large corporate facility. With just 34 licensed beds, the layout offers an intimate setting where staff and residents share everyday spaces together.
Accommodations consist of private and shared bedrooms of varying sizes. The surrounding living rooms and communal areas resemble those of a traditional house, creating comfortable spots to gather or relax. Daily rates are all-inclusive and depend entirely on the room type chosen, meaning fees do not jump as personal care needs increase over time.
Fresh meals are prepared on site using quality ingredients to support everyday health and enjoyment. Daily life revolves around an active therapeutic calendar that runs seven days a week. Residents can join in morning exercise sessions, adaptive sports, trivia games, cooking classes, or arts and crafts. Weekly live entertainment, guest lectures, and seasonal parties round out the social schedule.
Care at the facility provides 24-hour skilled nursing along with personal help for all daily activities. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists work on site, supported by a daily restorative nursing routine. Additional medical services include dental visits, podiatry, social work, psychiatric care, and mobile diagnostics such as x-rays and lab work.
This small setting suits seniors with physical or cognitive challenges who need comprehensive medical supervision in a calm, home-style environment. Its central Chatham address places it near neighborhood shops, borough parks, and local transit along the Route 124 corridor.

This is what we all dream about for our loved ones - a place with staff continuity. A staff that care. A staff that believe everyone deserves to have the best quality of life possible no matter what. Peter, Laura, and the entire staff at Garden Terrace are as good as it gets. We are so grateful to have found them.
Garden Terrace is the absolute best place for your loved one! Peter and Laura and the entire staff are excellent and go above and beyond in their care for each resident. My father was treated with respect and dignity all within a location that felt like home. I'm truly thankful that he was able to spend his final days in their care. I highly recommended!
Absolutely beautiful home and professional staff. The home is clean and decorated as a home, not an institution. The care that was given to my Uncle at the home was superb not only from a medical point of view but also a warm and caring point of view.
My experiences with the Flemming family and Garden Terrace Nursing home are twofold. First the professional: I have been providing entertainment to the residents at Garden Terrace and the sister facility, Victorian Garden Adult Daycare for over 25 years. I see first hand the attentiveness and care with which residents and their families are treated. I perform in facilities throughout New Jersey, and the personalized care and attention at Garden Terrace is as good or better than in any of the facilities I visit. One good indicator of the level of quality is longevity of the terms of employment. In an industry known for high turnover, Garden Terrace has many staff members who were working there when I first visited the facility. On a more personal note, a few years ago a friend of my family's, in my parent's generation, went to Garden Terrace for end of life care. I saw him a couple of times when I went to entertain the residents, and saw the gentle, loving way in which he was cared for. After his passing I received a note from his daughter praising the care he had received and thanking me for having helped to make his time there better. I will close this review with one observation: Garden Terrace really does have an atmosphere that is much more like a family home than an institution.
