Ciel of Princeton

Ciel of Princeton sits in Princeton, New Jersey, and serves seniors needing independent living, assisted living, respite stays, and specialized memory care, so residents can settle into private or semi-private apartment homes including two-bedroom or semi-private rooms, with floor plans like The Nassau, The Carnegie, The Princeton, The Witherspoon, and The McCarter, all designed for comfort with kitchenettes, cable, and internet in bright, spacious apartments. The community allows pets under certain conditions, welcomes guests during meal times, and offers easy visiting, since they provide free transportation and guest parking, and families often appreciate that. Residents can walk in outdoor gardens, patios, and putting green, or choose indoor activity areas when the weather keeps everyone inside, and the activities at Ciel are varied with a full Life Enrichment Program, a busy entertainment calendar, recreation room, and walkarounds that help many keep moving. When help is needed, staff is available day and night with services ranging from basic housekeeping, in-house laundry, dry cleaning, and home care, all the way to skilled nursing and medication management, and for those needing memory support, Ciel's two neighborhoods, The Sound and The Cove, focus on Alzheimer's and dementia care, with extra features like SafelyYou, an AI-enabled fall detection system, and the Connections by Ciel memory care program. People living here eat chef-prepared meals in the bistro, large dining room, or community dining areas, with room service if needed, and there are options to enjoy a cocktail lounge, bar, charming courtyard, or quiet spaces in the garden. The convenience store on site, the on-site haircuts and barber service, the computer room with free high-speed WiFi, and cable in every room help bring services close, which many find helpful. Ciel of Princeton also stands out with its attention to safety and individualized care, following New Jersey Department of Health standards for assisted living, and offers assistance with daily tasks when people need it, whether through independent living, the Independent Plus plan, assisted living, or memory care. Prices aren't published publicly, but staff answers questions and tries to be open about all care options, with an aim to keep people active, comfortable, and as independent as possible in a setting that values security, hospitality, and community. Ciel, formerly called Harbor Chase, keeps its roots in senior care strong, offering room for everyone who wants comfort, bright living, and a good mix of support, activity, and social time within reach, and connections to other facilities in the region like Avalon at Hillsborough, Bear Creek Assisted Living, The Birches at Newtown, and others help form a network for those needing different levels of long-term or short-term care.
