Assisted Living and Alzheimer's Care in Manahawkin, New Jersey
"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do."
This is a simple promise that the staff at Summerville at Stafford — and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities — has shared since 1999, when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful — a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our community for its active lifestyle.
Right at Home
Set on beautifully landscaped grounds with a courtyard, lovely gardens and walking trails, Summerville at Stafford is considered one of South Jersey's premier assisted living and Alzheimer's communities. Located on Route 72, just off the Garden State Parkway, our community offers 77 apartments on two floors. Here our residents — in many cases, with their pets — enjoy retirement living. Yet should you need a helping hand from our warm and caring staff, we also offer complete assisted living services, tailor-made to your needs. We've designed our services to focus on wellness, helping you maintain or improve your health, so you can live as independently as possible.
Join Their Journey — Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
Our community also offers an innovative memory care program, Join Their Journey®, for seniors affected by Alzheimer's or dementia. Because your family's experience will be unlike any other, our goal is to get to know you and your loved one, so that we can offer support and solutions for your individual situation. We "join the journey" of your loved one by recognizing individuality, encouraging choices and allowing residents the dignity to live in a secure, personalized and familiar setting that feels comfortable for them.
New friends, new beginnings
Our common areas — including our lovely dining room, sunroom and lounge with fireplace — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. We also offer a wide range of activities each month, including community outings to the Surflight Theatre. Summerville at Stafford is conveniently located in a residential area, close to Kohl's, Target and an easy drive to the Jersey Shore's Long Beach Island, where outdoor activities abound! Summerville at Stafford is also near Southern Ocean County Hospital and a nursing home rehabilitation facility if ever needed.
