JP Hampilos, PhD
Assistant Administrator and Owner

Since acquiring Little Brook, JP and Little Brook’s management have applied the hands-on model of management known as “management by walking around.” Furthermore, JP believes that a senior’s golden years should be about living in peace, happiness, dignity, comfort, safety and good health and that our Residents deserve excellent and comprehensive high skilled nursing care. This is Little Brook’s mission. He also believes that providing this care is not a job, but a calling. This nursing care philosophy is what Little Brook is about. It is rare that a philosophy—or a set of beliefs—is realized. But, at Little Brook it truly is!  Since 2005, Little Brook has had five “NO DEFICIENCY” New Jersey State Surveys, earned 5-Star ratings (from CMS¹—the federal government reviewer U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) several years in a row, and for 2018-2019 Little Brook was rated as “One of the Best Nursing Homes in the U.S.” by U.S. News and World Report².  These achievements have complemented Little Brook’s reputation in the community from Mendham to Frenchtown and Washington to Readington.
