Shrewsbury is a small borough of just 3,800 people in the northeastern most corner of New Jersey. This quiet community has minimal crime and great air quality, and it’s just 30 miles from the cultural amenities, restaurants and entertainment venues of New York City. With these features, it’s not surprising that it has a large senior community that accounts for almost 18% of its population.
For seniors who need some help with daily living activities and want access to curated social and recreational programming, assisted living may be a good option. In Shrewsbury, this level of care costs approximately $5,991 per month, which is higher than the national median but affordable compared to other cities in New Jersey. Prices vary depending on a facility’s location and amenities. There are 19 facilities in the Shrewsbury region, including one within the city proper and 18 more within 8 miles.

The Sunrise of Shrewsbury is just beautiful. The facility is just beautiful. It’s brand new. I think it’s only been open for like three or four years. It’s modern, and they have a lot of very, very nice outdoor space. In terms of balconies, decks, it’s very, very pretty. It’s small, but all the common areas are very, very well done. And I was impressed with the amount of outdoor space that they have considering how small it was, outdoor space they had for people to be able to sit outside. The staff was wonderful, fabulous. I looked at the menu and the dining room, and I thought the food was good. On Tuesday they had bingo. They had a Netflix club, which I thought was cool. They had some really kind of contemporary types of stuff going on. From a static perspective, I was impressed with Sunrise of Shrewsbury.

Atria Senior Living was small and close-knit, which was nice for assisted living. I liked it. The living spaces were small. They have lots of activities, a very nice dining room, lovely staff, and very nice grounds. They have very nice places where you could walk around. I would give it a positive review. It was just, apartment-wise or square footage-wise, it was just a little bit too small for our liking.
They have a lot of staff. Again, I thought their caregiver to resident ratio was very good. The director was very, very engaged. A lot of on-site services, lovely amenities in terms of activity rooms, things to do, and people there were out and about, and they were social. It was a very lively place. They had game rooms. They had a movie room, they had a very nice patio where people could go out and sit. They had a lot of engaging stuff, like arts and crafts. The food was better than average from what I saw on the menu.

My uncle is at Arbor Terrace Shrewsbury. Between my sister, brother and me, the location was really key. We also got great recommendations from friends at work and in the healthcare area. They gave this facility high marks. When we went to visit, we had a positive experience. The personnel were just so friendly and welcoming to questions. We got just a generally positive feeling.
The place is beautiful and just a really good fit for him. His room seems smaller but only because of where he came from. He had his own condo with multiple rooms, but the more we think about it, the whole idea of bringing him to this place was good. He was just so isolated with all of that space back at his condo and was not kind of forced out to eat or to interact with others. That was kind of adversely affecting his psyche. So really, the smaller room is actually better, because then he ventures out and talks to people.
The only thing I would say — not that it’s a problem — is that I found it odd that his room did not have any installed lighting, like an overhead lighting. For older people, their eyesight is not in the best shape, so they’re relying on lamps and things that you’re bringing, but nothing really comes from overhead in there. So I think putting in an overhead light would be really good for older people because it is kind of dark. I was so pleasantly surprised about the welcoming center and the coffee shop at the front. We were there for quite a few meals, and the food looks terrific. The common rooms are lovely. We love the idea that they kind of have like a big-old living room that you could reserve if you were there (obviously not this time but when things get opened up), and have a big family dinner on the great-big table. It almost emulates a home, and I think that’s really nice.
We’re having a very good experience. He’s still a little grumpy, but they’re doing as much as they can. It’s really good.

I toured Allegria at Ocean Grove for my brother. The physical appearance looked kind of rundown and the rooms are kind of chopped up a lot. It just wasn’t appealing. The staff was helpful, but not overly helpful. They answered our questions, but we weren’t that interested in it after looking at the place. I didn’t pursue it to a large extent.
They have an arts and crafts room and a big room that was like an all-purpose room. She explained that they have lots of activities, but we don’t see much going on really. People were watching TV, but that was it. It just didn’t seem like a very welcoming place. It’s so dated, it’s going to need to have a big facelift.

Brighton Gardens of Middletown is 5 across the board. The woman we met with and the woman at the front desk were all wonderful, accommodating as far as answering any questions, and providing information. The tour was detailed, and we looked at all the rooms. We did not eat there, so I can’t say that about the food, but the dining room was lovely. They had different room styles and different levels of care. They had exercise and they had a physical therapist that was working with the patients while we were there. They had an activity calendar that they shared with us to show us different things that they had going on throughout the week. It was nice. Meals were included and they had an open bistro snack area available to their residents in between the meals.

My sister, Liz, has dementia and bipolar disorder. She was only accepted in one place — she is not in good shape — and that is Millennium Memory Care. Sometimes, we get to the facility and the front gate is not locked, which does not give me very good vibes. The staff seems to be quite caring, sometimes. My sister is the highest functioning person there, but she is also very agitated and aggressive at times. Sometimes the staff is pretty annoyed with her. They have activities, and Liz said the food is good. It’s a locked facility with only 16 people there, and most of them are just lying around doing nothing and looking awful. The care is good. There’s a new group that is running the place. It’s very pretty, and the grounds are lovely.

I toured The Chelsea at Tinton Falls. It’s very quaint, like a bed and breakfast. It’s a small facility, only 75 residents. It was clean. In terms of activities going on, they had current events; they had someone reading the newspaper going over current events for the day. That was all that was going on that day.
I saw one building; memory care is on one floor and assisted living on another floor. The staff was super friendly, and warm. They sat down and spent time with me before I toured the facility. They got information on my dad. I like the idea of the medications being locked up downstairs. So, in order to get your medication, you have to come down and get it, versus them bringing it to your room. It forces the residents to come out of the room. I like the idea that there were only 75 residents, that it’s very small, and that they have a variety there of ages, from people in their 70s to people over a hundred. They did, on my way out, give me hot scones to take home, which I thought was super sweet. There’s nothing available right now.

This facility is clean. However my mother had hip surgery, partial replacement and went there for rehab. Almost everytime I went there(once a day) she would be in bed. She wasn’t eating well, however, she was angled in bed and no one helped her. She is 88 years old. She got very little rehab and ended up with an ulcer on her heel because she was in bed too long with the pressure. Not happy at all. They never asked her what she wanted to eat, she never ate salad or fish but that’s what she got. Maybe that’s why she wasn’t eating.

Earning a Caring Star means this community is among the best Senior Living commuities in America.
Paying for Assisted Living in Shrewsbury
The Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey provides comprehensive senior care cost data for states and communities across the United States. According to this survey, assisted living costs $4,300 per month on average in the United States. In regions with higher costs of living, assisted living tends to be more expensive. New Jersey is among the costliest states in the nation at $6,650, but some of its cities are relatively affordable. Data isn’t available for Shrewsbury, so its monthly care costs are based on fees charged in the City of New York, which is located about 30 miles north. Here, seniors pay $5,991 per month on average for assisted living, which is high compared to the national average but affordable by New Jersey’s standard.
The Cost of Assisted Living in Nearby Cities
Seniors in Shrewsbury pay $5,991 per month for assisted living, making it among the more affordable options in New Jersey for care. Trenton, which is located about 45 miles to the southwest, is the most expensive city in the state for this level of care, with monthly fees coming in at $7,478. In Vineland, facilities charge approximately $6,523. Atlantic City’s assisted living rates are about $200 lower than Shrewsbury’s average at $5,790 per month, and in Ocean City, rates are the lowest in the state at $4,945. Across state lines, care costs are comparable, with Dover, DE, seniors paying $4,920 per month for assisted living and those in Philadelphia, PA, paying $5,550.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Shrewsbury
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
Monmouth County Office on Aging is the designated Area Agency on Aging for the Shrewsbury region. This office provides information and referrals to help seniors connect with services in the community, including congregate meals, transportation and durable medical equipment loans. It has Medicare Part D specialists who help seniors assess their medication regimens and enroll in prescription drug coverage that fits their needs and budgets.
The closest senior center is a mile away in Red Bank, providing Shrewsbury seniors with easy access to social and recreational activities. This center overlooks the beautiful Navesink River and hosts a variety of activities, such as bridge, technology and arts and crafts classes, movie afternoons and book clubs. It also provides hot noontime meals for members, monthly health screenings and annual flu shot clinics and eye exams, as well as door-to-door transportation for local food markets. The center is open on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Family and Children’s Service is a local nonprofit organization that provides a broad array of programs and services for qualifying residents of the Shrewsbury region. This location administers the State Health Insurance Assistance Program, which offers free, impartial health insurance options counseling for seniors. Trained SHIP volunteers answer seniors’ questions regarding their Medicare benefits and help them research available Medicare Advantage, Medigap and prescription drug plans, which can help them control assisted living and healthcare costs.
The county’s Division on Aging, Disabilities and Veterans Services helps veterans obtain benefits and services they’re entitled to. Its advisors can help veterans gather the necessary documentation and apply for the Aid and Attendance benefit, pension programs and service-related and non-service-related disability compensation, which can be used toward assisted living expenses.
South Jersey Legal Services is a regional nonprofit organization that offers free legal assistance, advice and representation for those aged 60 and over in Shrewsbury. It can help older adults determine eligibility and apply for public benefits that may help cover assisted living expenses, including Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans. The office can also help seniors understand assisted living facility contracts and resolve issues related to the quality of care they receive.
The statewide long-term care ombudsman helps seniors and families identify options for covering assisted living services, understand residents’ rights and receive the services and supports in their care plans. The ombudsman can also field and investigate reports of abuse and neglect in long-term care facilities.
Assisted Living Laws and Regulations in Shrewsbury
