FellowshipLIFE is pleased to welcome Applewood Village as the fifth New Jersey senior living community owned and operated by FellowshipLIFE. Applewood Village, previously part of CentraState Healthcare System, a fully accredited, not-for-profit, community-based health system serving the central New Jersey region, offers independent living and a continuum of care in Freehold, New Jersey.
A history of excellence
As Freehold’s only continuing care retirement community (CCRC), Applewood Village has provided seniors with the opportunity to live their best lives. Applewood Village has served Freehold for the past three decades as a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, partnering with CentraState Healthcare System to bring quality health services to their residents.
Excellence through all levels of care
As a CCRC, Applewood Village offers a full spectrum of living options to their residents. A single-site community, Applewood has 300 independent living residences, 40 assisted living apartments, 60 skilled nursing apartments, and 11 specialized memory care apartments, set on 44 beautiful acres in Monmouth County, New Jersey. They also offer short-term rehabilitation options.
Amenities for the active senior
Senior living and assisted living in New Jersey should be accented by amenities that help residents thrive. At Applewood Village, residents have access to resort-style amenities that help them stay active and pursue a variety of interests. To stay fit, residents can choose from the Junior-Olympic sized indoor heated pool or group classes at the fitness center. Residents can show their creative side in the woodshop or the arts studio. A visit to the hair and nail salon can help residents get ready for entertainment at the music studio and performing arts center.
Ideal retirement location
Freehold, New Jersey, has the comfort of small town living while being close to the cosmopolitan enjoyments of the big city. Freehold is located in the Raritan Valley region within the New York Metropolitan Area, approximately 33 miles from Manhattan and 17 miles from Staten Island. Incorporated in 1869, Freehold has a vibrant downtown with many places to eat, shop, and learn about history. You will also find the nation’s oldest half-mile harness racing track, Freehold Raceway, where horse lovers of all ages get an opportunity to see harness racing.
Being far enough from the big city, Freehold is also a great place to enjoy nature, including Monmouth Battlefield State Park, Turkey Swamp Park, and Lake Topanemus.
Joining a tradition of quality service
“As a premier aging services provider, we are always looking for opportunities to better position FellowshipLIFE and its communities, services and programs in New Jersey’s competitive marketplace,” said Brian Lawrence, President and CEO of FellowshipLIFE, in a letter to the FellowshipLIFE stakeholders. “Applewood’s prime location in Monmouth County expands the reach and collaboration of our organization across New Jersey. We believe strongly this affiliation with Applewood — a like-minded community with a strong track record of quality services — presents an exceptional opportunity to further FellowshipLIFE’s vision and mission.”
