Nursing home placement for your loved one is perhaps one of the most difficult decisions you’ll ever have to make. Little Brook makes this decision a little less difficult. Little Brook is like a home away from home!
Your first impression of Little Brook will be of a country inn on an idyllic six acre estate, nestled in the rolling hills of Hunterdon County. During your tour, you will realize that this country inn caters to the complex medical and personal needs of each and every resident. Little Brook is a high skilled nursing facility that is truly a home — not an institutional complex.
At Little Brook, our staff places great value on the dignity and care of our Residents, emphasizing comfort, safety and peace-of-mind. Our management team has education and experience in gerontology, palliative care, sub-acute care and Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia care that combined has provided more than 60 years of caring experience to our community’s Residents.
Quick Facts
Little Brook Nursing & Convalescent Home (“Little Brook”) was founded in 1955, by Dr. Jorgensen who believed in caring for his community’s elders, was licensed as a New Jersey Skilled Nursing Facility in 1960, has had only four local family ownerships in over 69 years and has many weathered several financial, personnel and clinical crises—most recently the COVID-19 Pandemic and its financial sequelae. As a minority owned, local, small business, Drs. Rosa Maria Fernandez and her husband, John P. Hampilos, have owned Little Brook for almost two decades and proudly employee over 40 local citizens as staff members who care for their Residents. To date, their stewardship and their staff’s execution of policies and practices resulted in no Resident deaths from COVID-19. Also, none of their staff members passed away from COVID-19. Little Brook is grateful to the Federal, State and Local governments for supplies, funding and guidances.
