Shrewsbury is a community of about 4,100 people, 23% of whom are aged 65 and over, in the Shore region of Monmouth County. The community features minimal crime and comfortable weather throughout the year, promoting an active lifestyle, and high access to health care makes it a convenient option for those who are managing ongoing conditions. The city also has several assisted living facilities located within its limits or nearby.
Assisted living facilities are for seniors who need help with daily activities, such as bathing and meal preparation, but don’t need the extensive medical support nursing homes provide. Residents have access to a variety of recreational programs and outings throughout the week, along with services such as daily meals, housekeeping and transportation. Many facilities have pet-friendly policies and amenities such as therapeutic pools, fitness centers and multiple dining venues for a comfortable lifestyle. Monthly rates range depending on amenities, but on average, seniors in Shrewsbury pay $5,750 per month for this level of care. This exceeds the national norm of $4,500, but it’s competitive compared to New Jersey’s average of $6,495.
