Anchor hospital linkage: the closest NJ acute-care hospital

Seasonal considerations for Van Dyk Manor of Montclair residents

Winter presents specific risk at Van Dyk Manor of Montclair: icy walkways at community entrances, wind-chill events driving cardiac risk in residents with pre-existing conditions, and the mid-winter respiratory infection cycle (flu, RSV, COVID variants) that hits congregate senior settings harder than the general population. We increase our overnight-caregiver coverage requests by 30-40% in Montclair, Essex County NJ between December and February. Summer creates the opposite risk: heat waves and dehydration, especially for residents on diuretics or with unreliable AC.

• Certified home health aide shortage , statewide CHHA vacancy near 22% in 2026. We invest in retention (bonuses, benefits, career pathway to LPN) because Van Dyk Manor of Montclair families need aide continuity, not a rotating pool.
