Traditions of Cross Keys sits in a convenient place close to parks, golf courses, shops, and places to eat, so it's easy for residents and families to visit local spots and stay connected with the community, and if families or future residents want to see what daily life is like, staff offer tours where people can meet the residents and see the buildings firsthand. The facility is licensed by New Jersey-license 35A3302-and Heritage Senior Living manages the community. There are several options for care, as Traditions of Cross Keys has both assisted living and memory care, which includes separate, purpose-built spaces for people with memory loss like Alzheimer's or dementia. Staff use technology like bracelets that sound alarms if a resident leaves a safe area, plus a computerized system to keep track and help prevent wandering, so people at risk are safe, and the memory care area is secure and made just for those with unique needs, supporting residents with behavioral issues and providing daily help as needed.
Seniors who need a little or a lot of help can get assistance with daily life, including bathing, getting dressed, taking medicine, and everything else, and they have caregivers on duty all day and night. The team includes a nurse (part-time) and a doctor who can be called as needed. Traditions of Cross Keys welcomes pets, and there are paved trails and a gated courtyard for walks, as well as gardens, a gazebo, and lounge areas inside and out for relaxing. Residents can stay active and healthy with fitness and wellness programs, Tai Chi, yoga, and stretching, while salon services are available for hair and grooming.
For people who like community activities, there's communal dining, guest meals, arts and crafts, music and educational programs, outings to local places, tabletop games, and a private movie theater and library for quiet days. Residents can watch TV with cable in shared areas, connect to internet in their suites, and use the library or technology amenities. There are different room floor plans to choose from, all with kitchenettes, cable, emergency response systems, housekeeping, and linen service, and suites come tastefully furnished in a homey style.
The facility has parking lots, guest parking, and offers transportation and shopping trips. Religious services are also part of life here, and people needing help with physical, occupational, or speech therapy can get those services. Traditions of Cross Keys builds personal care plans for each resident, aiming to let people keep their independence while getting the care or support they need, whether they need light help or more heavy care. Memory care support includes help with dementia behaviors and services for residents prone to wandering or elopement, giving families some peace of mind. Insurance is accepted for payment, and the community's staff try to keep things warm, comfortable, and easy for everyone. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services come standard, so residents can spend time doing what they like best.
