Surrey Downs Clubhouse sits in Howell and serves as a hub for residents in this 55 and better community, offering many ways for people to come together and stay social, and residents usually like having the updated clubhouse open on weekdays from 9 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon, where a dedicated community manager, plus staff like Brittney and Allison, help plan and organize social activities, get-togethers, and events, and residents join in on regular games, bingo nights, parties, and trips through interest groups like travel clubs and ceramics workshops, all aimed at making it easier to build friendships and enjoy each other's company. The clubhouse itself has a large great room that fits up to 300 people, a full kitchen for meal events or parties, and smaller spaces like a card room, billiards tables, and a library, so you can always find a quiet corner or a bustling group. For those focused on health or relaxation, there's a modern fitness center, an indoor Jacuzzi, and outdoor spaces like a tennis court, bocce, shuffleboard, and a big outdoor pool, while walking paths and common outdoor areas encourage daily activity and neighborly chats.
The clubhouse gets managed by a professional company and provides coordinated bus services for shopping, trips to the Howell Senior Center, medical centers, shuttle routes to other local 55+ communities, and even handles off-site travel to places like the Jersey Shore. Residents have easy access by foot to markets, pharmacies, and nearby dining, and enjoy proximity to Freehold Mall, Centre State Hospital, and Battleground State Park for errands or recreation. Monthly association fees cover upkeep for all shared spaces, outside maintenance, and clubhouse amenities, helping people focus on enjoying retirement life without many chores. Housing here can include condos or other senior living setups, and safety features like handrails, sprinkler systems, 24-hour call systems, and accessibility supports are standard, with staff always ready to help with medication, transfers, bathing, or other daily activities for anyone needing extra support, while healthy, self-sufficient seniors find independent living services fit their lifestyle.
Dining options are flexible with a dining room, all-day meals, restaurant-style service, and a chef preparing allergy-sensitive and diabetes-friendly dishes, and there's support for special diets. Other key services include housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, move-in help, concierge, guest parking, internet and cable, and regular education, arts, wellness, and social programs. Respite care offers temporary relief for primary caregivers and non-ambulatory care is available for those with mobility issues. Residents can also take part in a digital suggestion box to share feedback or ideas for the community. The facility also offers counseling, general community programs, and opportunities for both resident-led and scheduled activities. With so many amenities and a focus on making life easier, Surrey Downs Clubhouse helps seniors stay active, social, and connected, and fits in among the Greenbriar communities and the wider 55 Plus Communities network.
