Locust Hill sits on a big stretch of land at 1 Allinson Drive in Hamilton Township, New Jersey, and covers about 63 acres, which means there's plenty of space, some of it open and some next to quiet streets like Bear Meade Drive, Burholme Drive, Josiah Lane, and Rachel Lane, so the place feels spread out and peaceful, and you'll find different neighborhoods and types of homes here, including an active adult subdivision with detached, single-family houses built from 2002 to 2006, most of those homes have two or three bedrooms, two to two and a half baths, garages, and are set up with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and phone lines, and there's access to broadband internet with choices that use DSL, fiber, or cable, offering up to 940 Mbps so residents can talk with family or surf the web easily.
Locust Hill's made for adults aged 55 and over and has a welcoming feeling, so people can live independently or get support if they need it, and the staff helps with everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and medication, with special attention for folks with memory problems, offering secure areas, memory-enhancing activities, and round-the-clock support for those with Alzheimer's or similar conditions. There are some homes that offer board and care for small groups, while other buildings have levels ranging from assisted living to full skilled nursing care, and for those who might get sicker or just want to stay put as they age, Locust Hill works as a continuing care retirement community, so someone can move through different types of care as their needs change.
There's a lot to do here day to day-residents can use the library, computer room, arts and crafts spaces, and game rooms with things like pool, table tennis, pinball, card games, and scheduled events like movie nights, holiday parties, and music programs, plus active folks might enjoy the clubhouse, fitness room, walking and biking trails, tennis courts, bocce, horseshoes, putting green, shuffleboard, and a swimming pool with water aerobics. Locust Hill also has an outdoor garden, parks close by, and four nearby cafes for people who want to get out. The dining areas serve meals all day with restaurant-style seating, allergy-friendly choices, and a professional chef, and there's help for special diets if needed.
Residents can use transportation for outings, see about seven local doctors, and there are fourteen pharmacies nearby, which makes health care simple to manage, plus the on-site care team offers rehab services, wound care, 24-hour call systems, and supervision for folks recovering from illness or needing long-term nursing. Staff look after chores like housekeeping, laundry, and move-in coordination, so daily living feels less stressful, and services also include family support for those who need it. Locust Hill has special touches like emergency alert systems and personalized support to keep everyone safe and comfortable, and there's a nearby place of worship.
Most of all, Locust Hill aims to balance comfort and support, letting people join in as much or as little as they like, and it gives older adults plenty of choices on how they want to live, whether that means joining activities, relaxing in a quiet spot, or getting a hand with daily needs, and the social and medical support is there for whoever needs it. Managed by First Service Residential, the community turns out to be a steady place for seniors to live in Hamilton Township, and it has room for small households, close connections, and active, easy living for those over 55.
