Excelcare at Newark Independent Living sits on the Churchman Village campus, where warm staff and homelike surroundings help residents feel at ease, and there's always someone around if a person needs help, especially those managing chronic health problems or memory issues like Alzheimer's, and they've got memory care and skilled rehab services right on-site, along with nursing, therapies, and in-home health care, so residents can get medication help or skilled nursing and still have their own space. The campus has activities, transportation within 15 miles, and plenty of amenities-there's parking, a beauty and barber shop, gardens with patio seating, and even VA aid support, plus residents can bring pets, which seems to lighten the mood for a lot of folks. The building's got 24/7 security, maintenance, and a call system in each room for peace of mind, and the staff offers help with things like dressing, bathing, transfers, and daily needs, and there are nurse aides and clinical care all day, along with short-term and long-term rehab, physical and occupational therapy, and specialists like dermatologists or podiatrists coming in to help.
Residents get three meals a day, and meals can be taken in the dining room, as takeout to the suite, or even eaten with guests, and the kitchen staff includes professional chefs and a nutritionist for special diets or needs like allergies or diabetes, so nobody has to worry much about cooking unless they want to, because units include options like kitchenettes and full kitchens. Housekeeping, linen, laundry, and maintenance come with the rent, and there's a business center, a gym for fitness classes and physical therapy, a movie room, game and activity rooms, a library, and a lot of common spaces for people to sit and talk or read if they want some quiet. The community keeps busy with arts and crafts, gardening, book clubs, yoga, music, movie nights, and planned group outings, with staff running and sometimes residents organizing the activities. Apartments and studios feature things like private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable, Wi-Fi, and safety equipment, and the whole place is set up for easy access with elevators and walking paths, which help keep people moving without too much trouble, and there are day-to-day conveniences like a concierge, move-in help, escorted walks to meals, and shopping or doctor's visits with community transportation.
Excelcare at Newark Independent Living welcomes seniors who want an independent but supported life, with a focus on keeping things simple and comfortable, where the rent includes most everything except phone and cable, and the team, who do speak English and are specially trained, try to pay attention to the little things and treat everyone like family, which means families who visit usually notice how much the staff care, and folks say that makes a difference. The place uses a preferred provider network with Christina Hospital and CareVio ACO, ensuring high care standards with doctors and medical directors on call, and offers flexible lease options for short or longer stays, with community tours for new families to see what daily life is like, from meals to activities, and the place does get regular checks to keep its licensing and verified status. The whole setup aims for a balance so people can keep their independence, get help when needed, and have something going on every day if they want it, whether that's a quiet afternoon in the garden or bouncing between art class, book club, and a musical evening in the activity room.
