Senior Living Options with JCHC


Finding the perfect senior living community involves understanding your unique needs and preferences. At the Jewish Community Housing Corporation (JCHC), we provide a range of senior living options tailored to support every stage of aging. From independent living to assisted living and memory care, our communities in Greater MetroWest NJ are designed to ensure comfort, dignity, and an enriching lifestyle for all seniors.

Here’s a concise overview of the exceptional senior living solutions we offer in New Jersey:

Independent Living Options at JCHC

For seniors who cherish their independence but value access to community amenities and light support, our independent living options at Lester Senior Living in Morris County and Village Apartments in Essex County are perfect.

At Lester Senior Living, independent residents enjoy private apartments alongside an array of on-site amenities, including a community dining room, fitness classes, and engaging social programs. The monthly activity calendar offers something for everyone, from knitting clubs and movie nights in our newly-renovated theater to art lessons and “JCHC University” seminars. Dining options are equally impressive, with restaurant-style meals tailored to dietary needs, including kosher and vegetarian options.

Village Apartments, located in the heart of South Orange, provides luxury independent living in newly renovated apartments equipped with open-concept kitchens, modern bathrooms, energy-efficient lighting and more. Residents can enjoy the vibrant South Orange community, with fine dining, shopping, and live entertainment just steps away.

Both communities offer the freedom to maintain your schedule while providing opportunities to socialize and stay active.

Assisted Living at JCHC

For seniors needing a balance of independence and assistance, Lester Senior Living in Morris County offers full-service assisted living. Here, residents receive help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, all while enjoying the comfort and privacy of their apartments.

With caregivers available 24/7, residents have access to on-site wellness providers, nutritious meals, and engaging activities. What sets Lester apart is its personalized care approach—each resident is evaluated to ensure they receive the support they need. The caring and experienced staff, many of whom have been with JCHC for over 15 years, create a welcoming environment where residents can truly thrive.

Memory Care at JCHC

For those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, the specialized Memory Care Suite at Lester Senior Living provides comprehensive support. Designed with dementia-friendly features, these apartments offer a safe and comfortable environment for seniors with memory loss disorders. 

Our extensively trained caregivers are equipped to handle the unique needs of memory care residents, ensuring their dignity and quality of life. Advanced technology, wander management systems, and opportunities for safe socialization further enhance the experience. Recognized as one of Northern New Jersey’s best memory care communities, our program provides customized care plans, promoting safety and emotional well-being.

Affordable Senior Housing Options at JCHC

We also offer affordable subsidized senior housing at Jewish Federation Plaza in West Orange and B’nai B’rith Federation House in South Orange. These communities provide low-income seniors with beautiful private apartments, dining options, and social activities.

Through the Assisted Living Program (ALP), qualifying seniors in these affordable housing apartments can access medically necessary services and assistance that would otherwise be unaffordable. This program addresses a critical healthcare gap for seniors in New Jersey, ensuring they receive the care they deserve.

How Seniors Can Avoid Heat Exhaustion
