The Haven at Silverwoods in Toms River, NJ operates as an assisted-living community that delivers hands-on support without removing residents’ sense of independence. Medical oversight includes focused diabetes care with routine glucose checks, medication coordination, and meal planning that aligns with a physician’s orders. A licensed speech therapist is on site for residents needing therapy to maintain or regain communication or swallowing abilities. Families who require relief can arrange respite or short-term stays, during which temporary residents receive the same clinical attention and personal assistance as long-term occupants.
The community is secured, limiting unauthorized exit and reducing the risk of wandering. Staff members are on duty around the clock to handle emergencies, monitor chronic conditions, and coordinate outside medical appointments. Scheduled wellness checks, help with activities of daily living, and prompt response protocols underpin the day-to-day care model, offering residents continuous oversight without unnecessary intrusion.
Private and semi-private apartments vary in size and layout, with select units offering kitchenettes, balconies or patios, wheelchair-accessible showers, and in-room Wi-Fi. Some accommodations overlook a butterfly garden or are close to the community piano, while others are near outdoor seating areas or the deck. The property is pet-friendly, air-conditioned, and provides on-site parking, but not every suite includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm details during a visit.
Dining follows a restaurant-style format with a professional chef preparing three scheduled meals each day and an all-day dining menu for snacks or alternative mealtimes. Guest meals are available for visiting family or friends. Staff members assist with portioning, adaptive utensils, and diet modifications, ensuring that residents with diabetes or other health considerations receive food that matches their care plans.
Residents can walk landscaped paths, cultivate raised garden beds, or swim in the outdoor pool for low-impact exercise. Inside, the activity center hosts yoga and chair yoga, karaoke, live-music events, dances, and happy-hour gatherings. A library and computer lounge, special-interest clubs, reminiscence programs, intergenerational activities, and regular social outings add further structure to daily life, providing multiple ways to stay physically active and socially engaged.
