Wellington Manor sits at 1 Lexington Drive in Pennington, NJ, and gives seniors a place that covers many needs with care options like assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, and memory care, all tailored to what folks might need as they age, and the place itself only holds up to 6 residents, so things tend to stay quiet and comfortable, which can be nice if someone doesn't like big crowds. This house was built in 2005 out of stone, and it's a single-family home with 10 rooms, such as bedrooms, bathrooms, a dining room, a garage that fits two cars and has two more parking spaces outside, laundry room, a big living room with a high cathedral ceiling, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a roomy loft, and a study. The master bedroom is on the first floor and even has its own fireplace and a little sitting spot, which is something not every place has, and there's a fancy master bath with both a separate stall shower and a soaking tub.
The kitchen's set up with granite countertops, a tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances like a dishwasher, microwave, stove, and a refrigerator, and folks can eat in the separate dining room if they want, but they could also sit in the community dining room that has a professional chef, restaurant-style meals, and food made to suit special dietary needs, including for diabetes or allergies, which is important for many older people. Every room has air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms, and there's basic furniture, window treatments, and kitchenettes too. They offer housekeeping, laundry, and telephone service in every room, with a 24-hour call system for quick help, which can be comforting at night or if someone doesn't get around so well anymore.
Care services run the gamut, so residents get help with bathing, dressing, medications, meal prep, and other daily tasks, and there's always supervision if it's needed. Some services here cover memory care, skilled nursing, medication management, and family support, as well as move-in coordination and community committees so folks can stay active in decisions. The place has community amenities like a clubhouse, parking, and lots of activities. Seniors can enjoy scheduled events like movie nights, music, games, and art, as well as use the library, spa and wellness room, sauna, fitness room, and game room, and there's even a private movie theater. There's a space set aside for resident-run activities and plenty of outdoor walking paths and communal areas for socializing or getting some fresh air.
Wellington Manor stays focused on an inclusive and resident-centered environment, and it's clear that the whole setup-from the two fireplaces and granite kitchen to the all-day dining and activity rooms-was designed with both comfort and practicality in mind. With well-documented policies, regular newsletters, and a strong resident committee system, it's a small community that tries to balance privacy, independence, and care in everyday life, and it stands out for paying attention to those small but meaningful details that can make life easier and nicer for older adults.
