Chelsea Senior Living at Washington Township sits on Pascack Road, near Schlegel Lake and the community center, and it's one of New Jersey's very first assisted living communities, opening back in 1997, and these days it's part of a group with two dozen places across New Jersey and New York. The community offers a good mix of options for seniors, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and they also provide short VIP stays and respite care if seniors need a temporary place to stay. The assisted living services cover help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and skilled care is on site for those who need a higher level of medical attention, which is something not every place provides.
People living here can join mental health programs along with wellness services and lifestyle programs, and there are specialized memory care areas and a dedicated staff to help older adults with Alzheimer's disease or other dementia, using features designed to reduce confusion and wandering. Each Chelsea community has its own special touches, like exterior gazebos and unique architecture, and the apartments in Washington Township are described as luxurious and comfortable, with safety and comfort features added in. Staff are skilled and experienced, and the community focuses on personalizing care and encouraging socialization, with dining services, organized activities, and programs that help support residents' independence and well-being. There's no specific list of services or amenities just for the Washington Township location, but like other Chelsea Senior Living communities, this one offers a range of care types and amenities for seniors with different needs, including independent living, memory care, assisted living, short VIP stays, and on-site skilled nursing, so older adults can find the level of support that's right for them.
