Montebello

Montebello is a senior living community at 270 Cooper Road in Berlin, NJ, and it covers a wide range of care options, so people can find independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or board and care homes depending on what they need as they get older, and the campus has a setting with both single-family European-inspired villas and apartment-style housing, which can come with things like covered porches, luxury master baths, kitchen islands, high ceilings, and garages. Residents get help with daily activities, meals, medication management, dressing, and personal care as needed, with special programs for those with Alzheimer's and dementia in memory care, which also features secure spaces and 24-hour support, and there are skilled nursing options for those who need round-the-clock attention, wound care, and medical services, plus short-term respite care for caregivers needing a break. Montebello has a clubhouse called the Montebello Club and Spa, which offers things you might expect like a fitness center, aerobics studio, ballroom, indoor and outdoor pools, a grand lounge with a fountain, a courtyard lounge, a massage room, and a business center with computers, and people can do activities like book clubs, movie nights, water aerobics, or organized trips and events planned by a full-time activities director. The community is built for comfort and practicality, so some homes have finished basements, elevators, and storage, and there's Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, private or shared rooms, and private bathrooms, and meals come in dining rooms or with all-day dining and choices for special diets. There are also many ways for people to have fun or relax with spaces like a movie theater, game room, arts room, library, walking and biking trails, bocce ball, a beach-entry pool and gazebo, and scheduled events for residents to socialize. The grounds have lush lawns, irrigation, and European-style touches like stained front doors and carriage garage doors, and the neighborhood has easy access to hospitals, shopping, entertainment, and nearby attractions like golf courses, Camden Waterfront Park, and the Jersey Shore. Residents can use a web-based tool to learn about and compare care options, get detailed assessments, and match care needs with what's available, and the facility helps guide people through all the steps of moving in, including housekeeping, laundry, and transportation. Montebello also has a flexible event venue-the Montebello Clubhouse-that can host gatherings, weddings, and celebrations both small and large, and it offers spaces like the Cloisters Lounge, arts galleries, and a grand ballroom. The Montebello community serves active adults aged 55 and above and maintains a low-maintenance, wellness-focused lifestyle, with support available as needs change, and though it provides many services, it does not function exactly like a full-time nursing home. Montebello is recognized as a community of the year and has a reputation for its attractive design and strong sense of community in southern New Jersey, where people can feel comfortable, stay active, and find support for many types of senior living needs.
