What to Consider About Assisted Living in Manalapan

Manalapan is located in Monmouth County, New Jersey, just 15 miles from the Jersey Shore and 45 miles from New York City. The community has roots stretching back to the American Revolution as the site of the Battle of Monmouth. Of the city's population of 51,000 residents, 16.5 percent are seniors aged 60 and older. They can select from 153 assisted living facilities in the Monmouth County area — all licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health. To be designated as an assisted living type of facility, staff must be on hand 24 hours a day and the campus design must allow aging in place.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Manalapan

 

  • The climate in Manalapan is marked by four distinct seasons, with blizzards likely in the winter and humidity and high heat in the summer. Average high temperatures in July are 86 degrees, while January lows average around 23. Seniors sensitive to cold temperatures may be uncomfortable in the winter. 
  • The cost of living in Manalapan is 147.7 as compared to the U.S. average of 100. Housing costs are much higher than the rest of the nation, at 236 compared to the U.S. base of 100. Grocery and healthcare costs, however, come closer to the average at 104.4 and 97, respectively. 
  • On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the safest, Manalapan violent crime rates are 17.1 compared to the U.S. average of 31.1. Property crimes, including theft, are 17.6 compared to the national average of 38.1. Seniors can enjoy living in a safe town.  
  • New Jersey senior citizens are eligible for a property tax freeze, which locks in their tax rates at a certain point. This may benefit seniors who still own a home while they transition into assisted living. 
  • The Jackson area is home to world-class medical facilities, including CentraState Healthcare System and Manalapan Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Manalapan has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Township of Manalapan Senior Citizen's Center, an organization that offers educational, recreational, wellness and nutritional programs to help senior citizens keep physically active and mentally engaged.
