Five Star Premier Residences of Teaneck sits on 655 Pomander Walk in Teaneck, New Jersey, where people can choose from independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and you'll also find short-term stays as an option, too, and the place is known for having a friendly, home-like feel, with staff who get to know residents and try to connect, making sure everyone feels supported and included. The community's set up as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), which means multiple care levels are all together, so if someone's needs change, they're able to receive more support without leaving the campus. You'll see pet-friendly policies, which lets people bring pets and even enjoy visits from pet therapy teams, while the secure, gated community includes nice outdoor spaces like a gazebo, park, garden beds, a lake, and a pond, giving everyone a chance to enjoy nature and fresh air.
After the 2023 renovations, both independent and assisted living areas got updates, including nicer apartment features like oak cabinets, black and stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and tiled backsplashes in the kitchens, and there are one or two-bedroom floor plans with separate kitchens, bedrooms with closets, and combined living and dining areas, plus high-speed internet, satellite TV, housekeeping, and covered parking included, which is a nice practical touch for many. In terms of activities, there are regular organized programs, from lectures on current events and sculpture lessons to city trips for shopping or shows, and simple group events like riverside walks or movie nights in their own theater, along with happy hours, social events, clubs, fitness classes, and religious services right on-site, and residents can get out for community outings using scheduled transportation, too.
There's always 24/7 on-site nursing and a medical team ready, with medical services that cover medication management, help with daily living tasks, and in-house doctor visits, and if someone needs rehab, the on-site Ageility clinic, which uses FOX Rehabilitation, offers outpatient therapy and personal fitness training, so health and wellness stay in focus. Dining happens in an updated room with white tablecloths and chandeliers, offering one, two, or three meals a day, and people can choose where to eat with a MyChoice Dining Program, including options for private groups, plus a bar/cocktail lounge, so there's space for both quiet meals and social gatherings.
The facility covers a wide range of needs with independent living, assisted living, memory care, rehab, home care, personal care, respite care, adult day care, and short-term stays, and because there's a fitness room with therapy equipment, exercise classes, beauty salon, barbershop, card and game room, computer stations, indoor and outdoor heated pools, and a library, residents can stay busy and active as much or as little as they want. Five Star Premier Residences is also set up for those who need emergency care and multicare facility services, and it's fully accessible with pet-friendly accommodations, volunteer opportunities, concierge service, chapel, and included cable TV and internet, so people's comfort and needs are supported while they're part of the community. The website offers a look at community life, and tours are available for those who want a firsthand glimpse of dining, activities, and daily support.
