The Havens Assisted Living in Toms River delivers a single level of care—Assisted Living—with an emphasis on managing complex health profiles. Staff are prepared for residents who wander at any time of day, present elopement risk, exhibit behavioral challenges, or stay awake throughout the night. Oxygen management is available, and the community accepts adults under 60 as well as diabetics who rely on either oral medications or insulin injections. Residents living with advanced dementia conditions are welcome.
An RN or LPN is on-site around the clock, backed by a nurse on call after hours and an activity director who helps integrate therapeutic programs into each day. Safety measures include a fenced front area, door alarms, pull-cord alerts in apartments, and personal emergency response systems. On-site podiatry, audiology, and dental visits reduce off-site appointments. The team can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while offering standby help during meals. Transfer capabilities range from walker and wheelchair support to one- or two-person assists when needed.
Apartments vary; some feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and the option to paint or decorate, while others offer a more basic setup. Cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are part of the standard package. Dining follows a set menu with snacks available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family visits. The kitchen accommodates diet modifications, including gluten-free choices.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, and fully wheelchair-accessible common spaces. Additional conveniences include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, high-speed internet, stair glide, library, special-interest clubs, and community transportation, with the added benefit of proximity to public transit for those who prefer to travel independently.
