Victoria Mews 51 North Main Street Boonton Township, New Jersey 07005

Imagine a warm, comfortable home with your own furnishings and treasures, where you can read a good book, enjoy the company of friends, or relax in front of a crackling fire. A place that offers you peace and solace, chases away feelings of loneliness, and gives you a sense of belonging. And, when you need some help with things like personal care, assistance getting around or friendly reminders to take your medication, you’ve got it. No worries — twenty-four-hours-a-day. Welcome to Victoria Mews.

We’ve developed this website to offer you a thorough understanding of what we’re all about. If you haven’t already visited us, we invite you to stop by Victoria Mews for a cup of tea and a look around . . . our door is always open and we always welcome new friends.

Victoria Mews is the ideal assisted living community for the person who enjoys a full life, who is independent, and who may need help only with certain daily tasks. We’ll strive to assist you in whatever ways you need, while maintaining your dignity, health, and a quality lifestyle.

Of course, Victoria Mews is licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services and complies with all of its health, safety, and quality of care requirements and standards. But more importantly, our staff is caring. They care about you and your family. And they care about their work. You’ll experience individualized care in a safe and comfortable home environment. Surrounded by your own personal belongings, you will relish the time spent in your private apartment, and also enjoy the company of our family of residents in the common areas and during the many activities we offer.

Our highly skilled and friendly staff will greet you each day with a bright smile and a helping hand. With peace of mind and no worries, your days will be spent amidst the simple pleasures of a home-cooked meal, a walk through the country gardens, or an afternoon of oil painting. A full-time nurse is available for you during the day and remains on-call all the time for emergencies. Our on-site wellness center offers your personal physicians a convenient and spacious area for examinations or consults. Should the need arise for you to receive specialized healthcare, Saint Clare’s Hospital is just down the road, and our safe and expert drivers are available to escort you to any medical appointment you have scheduled.

We know how important it is for you to have a home that your friends and loved ones feel comfortable visiting. In addition to your private apartment, there are many gathering spaces to create new memories, converse, or to share a bite to eat. You also may choose to stroll our picturesque grounds or visit the many special shops and gourmet eateries on nearby Main Street.

We also encourage and invite you to enjoy the company of our family of residents. Life is sweeter when there are others to share it with, and there’s nothing like making new friends!

For those residents with Alzheimer’s, dementia or other memory impairments, we offer Connections, our specially designed program that includes various types of therapies such as aroma, pet, music and art.

By working with you directly, our highly trained staff is able to get to know your parent or relative in depth while maintaining your close-knit family ties.

And soon your loved one becomes a vital part of our family of residents.
