Crestwood Village Co-Op IV is a 55+ cooperative community located at 15E Moccasin Dr, Whiting, NJ, 08759, where seniors can find both independent and assisted living, along with memory care, respite care, home care services, and continuing care, so folks with different needs can usually find something that fits. The management team, including board members and office staff, keeps everything running during office hours from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday, and residents handle things like maintenance and co-op payments through an online portal, which is one of those small changes that helps keep life moving smoothly, as does the online work order system for home repairs. The homes in this co-op come in several designs-Cambridge I and II, Devon, Essex, Georgetown, Hampshire, Lexington, Madison, Oxford I & II, Stratford, Windsor, and Yorktowne-with kitchens, maintenance, and handicap safety features, so residents get both comfort and support, and rooms have washers and dryers, cable TV, and a sprinkler system for extra safety.
There's a clubhouse for social gatherings and activities rooms for things like arts and crafts, game nights with Corn Hole and Pickleball, Tuesday night BINGO, and a bunch of other clubs, groups, and fitness classes, which means there's always a way to stay busy. The community holds all sorts of annual events from Oktoberfest to Pancake Breakfast with Santa and Memorial Day gatherings for veterans, and residents can keep updated through the monthly newsletter and event calendar, which helps everyone stay in the loop about what's happening. For health and wellness, there's a fitness center, health programs, personal care services, walking and wheelchair assistance, and a salon/barbershop for those who want it, and transportation gets covered by a community bus and Ocean Ride, so getting to shopping or healthcare appointments is a little easier. Dining services guarantee meals are available, with options for those who want prepared food, and folks who need help have personal care assistants, as well as laundry and dry cleaning services. Wi-Fi is available, guest parking is set, and the community is pet-friendly, which is nice for animal lovers.
Residents who want privacy will find plenty of it, but there's enough common space and organized activity that people who like to mingle won't feel out of place, and families sometimes appreciate the focus on both independence and safety built into the homes. Crestwood Village Co-Op IV also offers information and forms-like for membership, maintenance, and purchase agreements-through the website, crestwoodvillagefour.com, which makes it easier for folks to check what they need. There's a food pantry open for those having a tough time, and Independence Hall holds gatherings every Thursday, where new and current residents can meet, ask questions, or just listen in, and every now and again, special events like veterans meetings or orchestra shows roll around. The community sets aside time for monthly elections and shares updates so everyone knows how the neighborhood is managed.
With a secure setup through the Resident Portal for payments or submitting maintenance requests, scheduled transportation, long-term care insurance options, and plenty of amenities like the salon/barbershop, guest parking, house cleaning, and kitchenettes, Crestwood Village Co-Op IV tries to balance support for those who need help, while letting the independent folks keep their routine, and all of this is managed under Crestwood Village Co-Op Four, Inc., which means the co-op setup lets residents have a say in how the community is run. For seniors looking for an affordable, active, and welcoming place with easy access to services, help, good company, and a bit of peace and quiet if needed, this community in Whiting stands out as a straight-talking option where it's easy to get comfortable and find your way.
