The Havens Assisted Living sits at 1700 Rt 37 West in Toms River and is part of the Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus, offering a mix of care levels for older adults, both on its grounds and in their own homes, focusing on helping folks live well as needs change. There are 70 units, with both private and semi-private rooms, and people can bring pets if they want, since all pets are considered. The building has clean and cozy spaces and is known for a warm, welcoming feeling, with staff who stick around and know the residents well, treating everyone with respect and professionalism. The Havens helps with daily life, such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, along with regular wellness checks from a registered nurse. People get three meals a day, and there are pretty indoor and outdoor areas where folks can gather, relax, or visit with friends, including a clubhouse, shared spaces, an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, and spaces out back for fresh air.
Residents with memory needs have a locked memory care unit and staff who know how to care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia in a gentle way, offering specialized activities aimed at keeping minds active, along with personalized plans to help each person. There's skilled nursing available through Complete Care at The Havens for those needing more attention, including help with cardiac issues, orthopedic rehab, and short-term recovery, plus palliative and hospice services for those who need comfort at all stages. The place is set up to offer transportation, give respite or short-term care, and run activities every day-creative projects, group events, faith services, and discussions are all part of the week, organized by a full-time activities director. Grooming is easy with an on-site salon and barber, and maintenance is taken care of, making life here pretty much worry-free.
Folks can stay as active as possible to keep their independence, with gentle help when needed, and there's a real effort to create a community where people feel seen, valued, and at home. The staff works day and night to support each person's health and comfort, and families will find that the campus works hard to meet all sorts of needs as they come, whether someone wants quiet time outside, group fun indoors, devotional gatherings, special care, or a bit of everything. The building's motto says, "A Place That Feels Like Home," and that's the best way to describe how the people, pets, and staff come together here, making sure there's always a friend nearby and help when someone needs it.
