Four Seasons at Mapleton

Four Seasons at Mapleton sits at 2 Ambrose Drive in Columbus, New Jersey, and is a 55+ community offering several care options like independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and short-term respite stays, which gives residents different support based on their needs, so you'll see folks getting help with things like dressing, daily tasks, medication, and meals, or even round-the-clock medical care in the skilled nursing side where wound care and rehabilitation are all on hand with staff ready to help. The place is not small at all and you'll find it has its own clubhouse with a gym, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a steam room, sauna, whirlpool tub, card and billiard rooms, a theatre, a big ballroom for events, and the library where book clubs happen, plus outside you can play tennis, bocce, horseshoes, or practice a bit on the putting greens, and there's walking and biking trails winding through the neighborhood, a gazebo for relaxing, and open green spaces, so plenty of spots to take a stroll, catch your breath, or even join in a music program, a hobby club, or a game night. There are single-family homes here, often ranch-style with two bedrooms and two baths, high ceilings, open floor plans, attached garages, and features like back patios with retractable awnings looking out on open land, which makes it pleasant for sitting out or reading, and some homes have had their baths redone, new roofs put on, and tiled floors put throughout, while the homes connect up with public sewer and water. The monthly HOA fee is $257, which covers common area upkeep and keeps the place looking neat, while the Four Seasons at Mapleton Community Association organizes different activities and helps run things smoothly. Residents use private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and can choose from furnishing options, and the property's got scheduled activities, clubs, and internet groups, as well as transportation for getting to appointments, and parking on-site. When it comes to meals, folks can eat in the dining room, pick from all-day or restaurant-style dining, choose diet-specific menus, or have dishes made with allergies in mind, which takes a load off for people with special diets. Specialized memory care programs offer 24-hour support, safe environments, and activities to help with memory-personalized plans are available for those needing more attention, and the staff supervises and assists, so families can feel better knowing safety is a priority. The community offers services such as housekeeping, laundry, concierge, move-in help, and family support, plus on top of that there's Virtua Family Medicine about two miles away for medical needs. The area itself brings access to cultural activities and sits near major roads, so going out or visiting family is easier. The active adult lifestyle is encouraged, with a CCRC setup that supports folks for the long term as needs change, always aiming to hold a sense of home, community, and care, making sure social life and health support are both available, all tied together in a friendly, engaging place meant to foster connection and independence for adults 55 and up.
