The Village Grande at Little Mill sits in Egg Harbor Township, NJ, as a quiet 55+ community, where folks can settle into low-maintenance, single-family homes built by D.R. Horton, and most of these homes have open floor plans, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage, with some homes having first-floor master suites and modern touches throughout, and you'll find five different floor plans from about 1,372 to 2,261 square feet. The 10,000 square-foot clubhouse serves as the heart of the place, with a ballroom for larger gatherings, a catering kitchen that handles special events, a card room for games and social time, and an arts and crafts studio for residents to enjoy hobbies, and there's a library, a well-equipped fitness center, and both indoor and outdoor pools-including a lap pool so residents can stay active year-round. There are options for recreation nearby, with tennis courts, bocce ball courts, outdoor walking paths, and places for horseshoes, and inside, there's a game room, a theater for movie nights, wellness spaces like a spa, sauna, and areas for health programs, plus scheduled activities, community-sponsored events, book clubs, art workshops, yoga, and Zumba classes, and they also organize trips, festive parties, and many social gatherings, aiming to help residents stay connected and active as they want.
The Village Grande at Little Mill takes structural safety seriously because the buildings are nearly 40 years old, almost the same age as the Surfside, Florida condos, so there are regular inspections, ongoing engineering evaluations, and detailed structural reports to check safety, and because of concerns over balcony hardware and reports of possible falling concrete, residents right now can't use the balconies until the issues are taken care of, which is part of their effort to keep everyone safe, and there's also a federal rule saying anyone who wants to sell their condo has to fill out a government form first.
The community supports both independence and higher care when needed, offering independent living for active adults, assisted living for those who need help with daily chores, memory care for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, nursing home care if that level is required, and continuing care for changing health needs, plus there's respite care for people who only need short stays or temporary help. Apartments and homes come with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, telephone hookups, and basic furnishings, while residents can get help with things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and managing medication, and the health care team watches over everyone 24 hours a day with a call system for emergencies.
Dining takes place in a dining room with options for all-day meals, restaurant-style service, allergy-friendly and diabetic diets, and everyday meals get prepared by professional chefs, and community services include housekeeping, move-in help, laundry, dry cleaning, and a concierge, and there's support for non-ambulatory folks, including those who are mostly in bed. Activities take place in common areas, and you'll see resident-run events, scheduled programs, fitness sessions, music nights, movies, arts activities, and walking clubs, with both indoor and outdoor options, including plenty of open green space and places to sit outside, plus there's transportation and parking for those who need it. The Village Grande at Little Mill uses unique names and terms for its programs, and while the focus is on fun and social events, the whole place is built to make sure seniors can enjoy life, get care when they need it, and have a safe and supportive community to call home.
