Spring Hills Somerset sits on DeMott Lane in Somerset, New Jersey, and comes as part of the Spring Hills Assisted Living Communities, offering a range of care for seniors who need help each day or memory support for those with dementia or Alzheimer's. The community has private and companion suites with cozy beds, wood-style floors, kitchenettes, individually controlled thermostats, and bathrooms fitted with features like floral shower curtains and vanity sinks, giving a homelike feel with large windows and sitting areas. The main entrance, dressed with cream siding and a covered step-up with columns, leads into a welcoming reception area where the friendly staff provide a warm first impression, and the hallways, carpeted and well-lit, have resident mailboxes for easy access to personal mail.
Residents can enjoy several dining options in the elegant dining room filled with natural light from large windows, where meals come anytime and can be tailored for special diets like gluten-free, low-sodium, or low/no sugar. There are guest meal options and private rooms for family visits, and pet-friendly programs mean cats and dogs have their place too. The barbershop and beauty salon stand by for personal care, while the library is right there for reading or quiet time. Health care services are in place with regular wellness checks, on-site nurses, and visits from podiatrists, dentists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists.
Spring Hills Somerset has a strong focus on memory care, holding an average cost of about $7,000 for a memory care studio, and takes residents with behavioral challenges or those who may wander, with secured areas and technology like bracelets and a wander alert system for safety. The memory care section is built for specialized dementia support, with staff skilled in delivering calm and professional help, even when residents act out or feel upset, and staff get to know each person's likes so small decisions, like preferring cake over pudding, help them feel at home. The team provides care at many levels-light, medium, or heavy-assisting with most daily needs, administering medications (even insulin), and monitoring diabetes when needed. Hospice, respite, and aging-in-place options are available so residents can stay comfortable as their needs change.
The activity director puts together a full calendar, including EnhanceFitness classes, exercise programs like yoga and chair yoga, trivia, art classes, brain fitness, gardening, Wii bowling, wine tasting, lectures, and trips to keep life active and interesting. The property has both indoor and outdoor common spaces, including a TV lounge, fireplace, entertainment center, cozy armchairs, and a bright courtyard with lush plants, a brick patio, shaded tables, and flowerpots, offering pleasant places to relax or meet with others. Devotional services are on-site or off-site for differing faith needs.
Laundry, linens, and housekeeping services keep apartments clean and comfortable, and complimentary transportation or resident parking helps with outings or errands. The staff are trained and patient, respond with respect, and know each resident's habits and needs, which helps create an attentive, caring atmosphere. Residents get a steady mix of independence and help, from meals provided to help managing the little parts of a daily routine. The experience here is both supportive and flexible, aiming to help every senior live as happily and safely as possible with the right mix of comfort, activities, and attentive care.
