The Ponds is an active adult community for people 55 and older, with homes built for easy living and lots of things to do if folks like being busy or just want a peaceful place to sit and look at nature. The grounds have landscaped gardens, a tranquil pond with birdhouses and a gazebo, and there's a swimming pool, a fitness center, tennis and bocce courts, jogging trails, plus places to fish, walk, or relax outdoors on private balconies or patios. The homes come in different sizes, from about 1,237 to 2,157 square feet, with two bedrooms, two baths, large kitchens, soaking tubs, separate showers, and features like air conditioning, cable TV, telephone service, and Wi-Fi. There are accommodations ranging from condos to villas, even some with one to five-star hotel features, so people can find what fits their needs.
The Ponds has strong support for people who need help, whether it's simple things like housekeeping and laundry, or more nursing care, with round-the-clock medical support, skilled nursing, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, and help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine. There's a team of experienced staff that helps with personalized care plans and special diets, including options for people with diabetes or allergies, and meals are included with everything from Asian and Soul Food to regular Western and buffet choices, with restaurants, cafes, and bakeries on-site, along with a large cafe and a salon/barber shop. Residents can get help using VA benefits if needed.
For people who want to stay busy, there's a clubhouse that's really the center of activity, with a grand ballroom for dances and events, an arts and crafts studio, woodworking shop, computer lab, library, and a gym with fitness classes and aquacize. There are lots of social activities like bridge, bingo, arts and crafts, movie nights, music programs, and painting or computer classes. Folks can always find a card game or something going on in the game room, TV lounge, or out at the putting green. Spiritual life is supported too, with Jewish religious services. Transportation is available to parks, shopping centers like Concordia and Freehold Raceway Mall, and bigger cities, with buses, trains, and airports not far away. The Ponds is for people who want a place that mixes comfort and support, with private space, many choices for fun, easy access to care, and a setting that's peaceful, well-kept, and friendly to all sorts of needs. The community accepts people for long-term stays or short-term respite care and keeps residents' safety in mind with a 24-hour call system and non-ambulatory support for those who need extra help.
