The Village Grande at Camelot sits in Glassboro, New Jersey, and offers a mix of care choices for adults 55 and over, with everything from independent living, assisted living, respite care, memory care, and skilled nursing, as well as continuing care for changing needs, which is often called a Continuing Care Retirement Community or CCRC, so residents don't have to leave the community if they need more help later. The homes are single-family, all on one level, built mostly in the 2010s, with about 200 to 500 units in total, and have about seven different styles that range from 1,300 to 2,261 square feet, and each comes with a two-car garage that you can open by remote, low-maintenance exteriors, and barrier-free bathrooms with safety handrails, wide doorways, and dual walk-in closets in the main suite, so it's easier for folks who use wheelchairs or need help moving around, plus there's a gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, big kitchens with stainless steel appliances-many have extra space like dens, and the lots and gardens show off thick shrubs and blooming flowers so it's a nice place to walk.
There's a clubhouse of 18,000 square feet where neighbors get together for events, meetings, and daily activities, and folks often volunteer for the clubhouse committee, social committee, and various other groups, and a dedicated Recreation Director plans daily events to get everyone up and about, whether it's bingo in the ballroom, cards in the Card Rooms (one's set up just for poker, others fit games like Mah Jongg and Rummikub), or friendly matches on the bocce courts, and there's a billiards room for both pool and shuffleboard or darts, plus a TV room, library, and spaces for music, arts and crafts, and even a movie theater. Residents use a fitness gym, a spa and wellness room, outdoor walking paths, and fishing ponds, with all areas carefully landscaped.
The community uses public water and sewer and has an HOA fee of $248 each month that covers much of the upkeep. Some services include housekeeping, laundry, concierge help, and support for families. Dining options are varied-there's a main dining room, all-day and restaurant-style dining, and chef-prepared meals with attention to different diets and allergies. Every unit comes with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and telephone, and you can pick furnished setups if you need. Safety is emphasized with a 24-hour call system and around-the-clock supervision, and there's help with daily activities, medication management, and care for residents who need support walking or getting around.
Social life stays active, with daily resident-led gatherings, special clubs, and scheduled activities, all meant to keep people involved, whether they're interested in committees, group gatherings in the big ballroom, outdoor bocce games, group walks, or community movie nights. The grounds remain well-tended, with manicured shrubs, paths for walking, and plenty of space for neighbors to meet and relax outside. The Village Grande at Camelot provides an active and supportive place for seniors to live, with a wide range of services, a strong sense of community, and plenty of ways to stay engaged.
