Four Seasons at Weatherby sits in Woolwich, NJ and offers homes designed for adults 55+. The single-family homes were built from 2005 to 2014, with some new floor plans added in a second phase called The Preserve At Weatherby, which started in 2017, so you get a mix of homes ranging from about 1,300 to 3,500 square feet and most have garages, with some even having lofts and covered patios, so people looking for a one, two, or three-bedroom place with space for hobbies or guests will find options. There really are lots of different floor plans, like the Ardsley, Bedford, Belize, Burnham, Captiva, Martinique, San Marino, and that's only some of them, and the new phase offers more like Jaxson, Piper, Remington, and others. The homes were built by K. Hovnanian and often have things like designer kitchens or breakfast nooks, two-car garages, or rooms for crafts and den space, and most places have their own private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and Wi-Fi.
The community focuses on giving seniors support, independence, and lots of ways to stay active and social. The place is gated, and has a clubhouse that acts as the heart of things with a lounge, billiards room, game room, and library for relaxing or meeting people. There's an outdoor pool, fitness center, tennis courts, bocce ball, pickleball, shuffleboard, horseshoe pits, plus walking and biking trails, a putting green, and even some lake views. People who enjoy groups and activities find plenty to do, since there are all kinds of clubs, programs, and daily events-some of the bigger sections even have full-time staff members to run recreation and activities, so there's often something planned like movie nights, crafts, games, and fitness classes.
Four Seasons at Weatherby is designed to make things easier and more comfortable for older adults, so services like housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, concierge, and move-in help are available, and transportation and parking are provided. Most rooms have things like cable TV, air conditioning, and telephones, and there's Wi-Fi throughout. Dining services in the main dining room offer all-day and restaurant-style meals, and they handle allergy-sensitive options and diabetes diets, so residents don't have to worry about getting food that suits their needs.
Assistance with dressing or medication management is offered, along with both independent and assisted living, but the community doesn't provide skilled nursing or memory care as part of its standard setup. Four Seasons at Weatherby keeps a focus on charitable work, with programs like Causeway and special funds for things like animal welfare, climate change, veterans, and helping end homelessness. The community has a good number of pet owners thanks to its pet allowances, so people can often be seen enjoying the dog-friendly walking trails that circle the ponds and outdoor common spaces.
Most services and amenities are meant for people seeking an active and engaging environment surrounded by others at a similar stage in life, with Homeowners Associations to handle maintenance, and a real estate representative who specializes in helping people buy or sell within the community. The clubhouse, fitness room, spa, and outdoor areas add up to 19 amenities that people can enjoy with friends or family. The place is close to places like McDonald's for casual dining and to doctors, clinics, and a pharmacy for basic medical needs nearby, but it's not a place that feels like a hospital or nursing home. Four Seasons at Weatherby is on a list of "Top Communities" and is in company with similar places like "Sun City" and "On Top of the World." The community website has a photo gallery, and the place keeps its focus on easy living, making resources about 55+ living and advice easy to find for people thinking about moving in.
