Highly Recommend

When my sister-in-law came to LNH she weighed 90 lbs and I was preparing for the end. She has suffered from dementia since [date removed]. She was in another facility that wouldn't accept her back from rehab after she broke her hip. LNH isn't as flashy as some other facilities, but the care they give their residents is top notch. My SIL has gained back weight with nourishing tasty food. Where she was previously her tray was dropped on a table and left. At LNH she gets the individual attention and is fed, hence her …

A Little World of it's Own!

My beloved sister has been a patient, since August, 2020. I am delighted to have a compassionate and caring Nurse at the helm. She has been Director of Nursing since late December, 2021. She does it all! Not only does she take care of all her patients in her charge during the day, but she is on the phone with the patients families answering their questions, giving then updates, or telling them if their loved one is in need of something, to calling the House Doctor, or making rounds with him, or calling the pharmacy…

Little Nursing Home -- Life Savers

My mother-in-law, 90, has Lewy's dementia and went into the Little Nursing Home in April. They are great. Very responsive to her needs and very thoughtful. We are very happy with them.

Wonderful place

My mother stayed here and she received excellent care. The nurses were so kind and compassionate. They went out of their way to make her feel very comfortable. Alll their helpers worked very hard .The owners really made our family feel at home. I can't say enough of how special the Little Nursing Home is and how much they helped my mom. I highly recommend this place for elderly care and would like to thank all the employees, [name removed], and the owners for their hard work.

A Great Alternative

The Little Nursing Home in Montclair provides a great alternative to the standard nursing home atmosphere. First, my mother lived with myself and my husband. When her health declined dramatically, we placed her in a regular nursing home for a few weeks. I was very dissatisfied with the hospital like feel and dispassionate care. I searched for a better placement for my mother and through the website, A Place for Mom , I was referred to The Little Nursing Home. It offers exactly what I felt she was missing. The staff…

Great Place for Mom

My mom has only been at The Little Nursing Home for a little over a week but I am very pleased with the decision to place her there. The nurses and aides could not be more attentive and compassionate. They keep me informed of how my mother is doing whenever there is any change. I feel very welcome when I visit and know that I am leaving my mother in good hands when I go home. The nursing home has a very homey atmosphere. If, however, you are looking for all the bells and whistles of a modern facility, this is not t…
