Horizons at Barnegat

Horizons at Barnegat stands as a large and lively senior living community for adults 55 and older, where you'll find many amenities and spaces for both activity and relaxation, such as arts rooms, game rooms, libraries, a fitness room, a sunroom, and a great room with a fireplace, and this place offers a two-story, single-family home setup that features three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with the main level including a primary suite and guest bedroom while the upstairs has a third bedroom along with a loft, and with a total structure area of 2,775 square feet, there's open space for moving around, plus specific room sizes like a 279-square-foot kitchen, a laundry of about 36 square feet, and a foyer with a dining/living room combination. The building uses a two-zoned heating and air conditioning system, and there are high ceilings starting at nine feet on the first floor, newer window panes, fresh paint, and new carpets, with an attic accessed by stairs and a balcony for outdoor sitting. The community offers plenty of outdoor common areas, a backyard that backs up to woods for privacy, walking paths, and spaces for residents to sit or socialize, and for those who enjoy the water there's an in-ground community swimming pool. Residents have two driveway parking spots, a two-car garage, and extra uncovered parking if needed, so visitors generally won't have trouble finding a space to park. Residents get support with services such as housekeeping, lawn care, move-in coordination, pool upkeep, and snow removal, and there's also a 24-hour emergency system, call system, and help with things like bathing, dressing, and medication if needed, including care for those who can't walk. The kitchens and private bathrooms come fully equipped, and rooms include air conditioning, cable TV, telephones, and Wi-Fi or high-speed internet. Dining options cover all-day and restaurant-style meals, with special menus for allergies or diabetes, served in the dining room or taken in other spaces, and daily activities and resident-run programs add to the community, with movie nights, music, outdoor activities, and scheduled programs for socializing and keep minds and bodies engaged. This place began in 2005 and focuses on supporting seniors' independence while offering regular housekeeping, laundry, concierge, and family support. There's a strong sense of community, with opportunities for both quiet and lively moments, whether in the arts and crafts rooms, the library, the fitness or wellness areas, or just out in the open spaces by the woods where the backyard sits. Independent living is the main service here, but those needing skilled nursing can find those services at the nearby Barnegat Rehabilitation & Nursing Center. Horizons at Barnegat is established as an adult community organization and doesn't hype itself but does provide plenty of space, safety, and everyday comforts for its residents.
