The Allendale Community for Mature Living in Bergen County, New Jersey, is the premier continuum-of-care facility, comprised of three separate residences: The Atrium for residential living, Carlton Court for assisted living and The Allendale Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center.

Founded by Dr. Hector Giancarlo 40 years ago, it continues to reflect his personal philosophy of “family first” in caring for seniors in a warm, friendly style which has earned it a reputation for professionalism, innovation and accessibility.

Allendale Community for Mature Living Residents are accepted without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation or handicap. Services are available to all Residents, when eligible.

History and Philosophy

Developed in stages beginning in 1967, The Allendale Community for Mature Living has evolved into a full-service retirement community where residents can enjoy an individualized lifestyle tailored to their specific preferences and needs. While each facility provides its own distinct program, the Community's services and activities overlap as required or desired.

The Community's primary goal is to maximize independence for each resident while providing a comfortable, warm and elegant environment. In addition, programs and services are designed to help residents reach their full potential. In many cases, seniors who begin their residency under the intensive care of The Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center are able to move into Carlton Court or The Atrium.

Staff and Key Management

Dr. Hector R. Giancarlo, M.D., F.A.C.S., the Founder and President of The Allendale Community for Mature Living, was a prominent E.N.T. Surgeon in New York City and former Chairman of Otolaryngology at the New York Eye and Ear Hospital. In many ways, Dr. Giancarlo is a pioneer in the senior living industry: The Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center, Carlton Court and The Atrium were all among the first facilities of their kind in New Jersey. Dr. Giancarlo has also sat on the N.J. Department of Health Licensing.

The Allendale Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center is a 120-bed skilled nursing facility offering a high level of medical attention; 24-hour nursing care; rehabilitation as needed; and an array of social and recreational activities geared to the interests of residents. It is a private, Medicare/Medicaid approved facility that prides itself on the highest standards of care for patients. This center was the first phase of the Community, and it has been continually upgraded since its construction in 1967.

When it comes to premier health care for the elderly in a personalized home environment, Allendale is just what the Doctor ordered. The Doctor, in this case, is Dr. Hector Giancarlo who founded the community 30 years ago based on compassionate, superior service. To maintain optimum health, Dr. Giancarlo provides opportunities for social interaction among residents, staff and family.

Residents dine together at tables and are never served in isolation. The Allendale staff knows each resident by name and executive offices are always open to them and their families.

To comfort the elderly and provide their loved ones with peace of mind, quality procedures have become the standard for excellence.
