Horizons at Mount Arlington sits in Mount Arlington Borough, Morris County, close to Lake Hopatcong and the Berkshire Valley State Wildlife Area, and this place has a calm atmosphere with pretty views, a relaxed feel, and a good amount of space to move around. The community is designed for seniors, and you'll see a focus on care that fits every resident's needs, with help offered for things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and getting around if people aren't able to on their own, plus there's always someone there with a 24-hour call system and supervision which can make family members feel better about safety. The facility offers different types of care, like assisted living, skilled nursing, respite care for short-term stays, and a memory care program with safe and specialized spaces meant for folks who need extra help with memory problems, so families know their loved ones will get what they need for daily living.
The building itself was put up in 2004 on a 621 square foot lot, giving about 1,882 square feet of living space in a single-family condo style, and the style is described as "NYC Penthouse-Style," meaning there are things like private balconies, seasonal lake views, high tray ceilings, crown molding, and big windows that let in a lot of light. The kitchens come with 42" custom cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and an open layout with a breakfast bar, while bedrooms like the master en suite have walk-in closets and big bathrooms, and there are extras like a den, a foyer, and an underground garage for storage. Residents get private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, their own phone lines, and furnished living spaces, and the whole place has WiFi included with the HOA fee. HOA dues run $486 a month but cover things like basic cable, exterior work, snow removal, and trash pickup, while there's no extra residential dues, and property taxes are around $305 a month.
Horizons offers quite a few ways to keep busy, because there's a clubhouse, a pool, tennis courts, a fitness center, billiards room, and spaces for things like games and clubs, so anyone wanting to stay social can find bridge, canasta, Mah Jongg, and poker games or go to community events like brunches, holiday parties, or ice cream socials, and the calendar's full of activities and fitness classes such as water aerobics and volleyball. The place is well-suited for walking and has trails for biking, courts for shuffleboard and bocce, plus outdoor patios. Meals are handled with a professional chef and community dining, all-day dining, restaurant-style service, and options for allergies or special diets, including a diabetes menu, so food needs get met whether someone eats in the main dining room or wants to cook in their own kitchenette. Health care is on-site, including clinics and practitioners to help handle problems as they come up, including wound care and rehabilitation, nursing, and memory care that uses special programs for people with cognitive changes.
Extra services help with daily tasks, as staff take care of housekeeping, coordination for moving in, laundry, and there's a concierge and support for families, and the maintenance crews keep up with building repairs, snow, and grounds. There's an underground garage and storage too. The community supports homeownership, and mortgages for a basic unit hover around $1,579 a month at a 4.45% rate, and there's potential to use home equity loans for renovation or expenses if the owner wants. Risk data for flooding, fire, wind, and other hazards is still being developed, so that's something new buyers might want to keep in mind. There's no shortage of nearby schools, like Edith M. Decker Elementary and Roxbury High School, and the property feels open and modern, using space well, with plenty of light and good options for both private time and group activities.
Overall, Horizons at Mount Arlington focuses on making life easier for seniors, offering safety, community, and a broad set of services without feeling like a hospital, yet it maintains enough medical attention and memory care to support residents who need that extra help.
