Merion Gardens Assisted Living sits at 315 Merion Avenue in Carney's Point, New Jersey, and offers seniors a place to live where they can keep their independence while getting support as needed, and folks appreciate being able to choose from three floor plans, whether it's a basic studio, a deluxe studio, or a one-bedroom suite, with each option giving residents a private or companion space they can decorate to feel like home, plus some come with kitchenettes with a refrigerator and microwave. The building's kept safe with fire-proof construction and sprinklers, and the staff includes Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Registered Nurses (RNs), and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), and Bayada Staffing helps cover shifts if needed, making sure there's coverage around the clock for simple supervision or more hands-on care.
There's a private, landscaped courtyard inside the building's center where residents can relax outdoors, and plenty of seating areas both for bigger groups or quiet time; some spots have books and garden views while others give folks a cozy place by the fireplace. Merion Gardens has spaces for crafts, games, and other activities, as well as a library nook for those who enjoy reading, and every month, the staff puts out an activities calendar aimed at helping residents stay engaged-physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally. Assisted living services help folks with daily needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication, plus there's laundry and housekeeping as part of the weekly routine.
For those who need extra care, there's a secure memory care unit designed just for residents with Alzheimer's or memory impairments. Health support is always available with 24/7 nursing care, therapy services, health monitoring, and emergency call response at all times, and wellness stays a focus since the community's owned and supervised by local physicians who like to keep a close watch over things. Meals are served three times a day from a commercial kitchen, with snacks, special diet options for those who need it, and different dining rooms so families can visit or groups can eat together, and many say the food's made with good ingredients and plenty of care.
Apartments and common areas are carpeted and well kept, and residents can keep their living spaces just the way they like it, hanging up their pictures and keeping mementos around, which helps folks settle in and feel like it belongs to them. There're no application or community fees to move in, and the staff at Merion Gardens tries to keep an inviting, home-like feeling-folks look out for one another, give families updates, and staff get to know residents well enough to tailor care for each person's needs. The whole place is about fostering a friendly, respectful place where seniors can stay independent but get a helping hand whenever they want it, and with everything on one campus, including long-term care options, it meets a broad range of senior needs.
