As people age, they can experience changes in their level of social interaction, leading to feelings of loneliness. Luckily, there are ways to increase social activity and companionship for older adults, such as senior living communities.
The Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living has provided senior care and services to older adults in Somerset, New Jersey, and the surrounding areas for more than 40 years. Here, we discuss the senior living options available at The Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living and their benefits.
What Are Senior Living Communities?
A senior living community is a general term for the different designated places where older adults can live, socialize, and stay active in a comfortable and long-term environment. There are a range of different senior living communities, each designed to meet the different needs and lifestyles of people aged 55 and older. Some of the most common include:
- Assisted living communities: These communities are ideal for seniors who are getting older and require some daily assistance with things like cooking, household chores, personal care, and more.
- Independent living communities: These communities are great for active older adults who are looking to increase their socialization, recreation opportunities, and companionship.
- Memory care communities: These communities are designated specifically for older adults with memory impairments like Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
The Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living knows the importance of providing high-quality senior living communities to older adults. We do so with our assisted living and memory care communities in central New Jersey, complete with comfortable residences, transitional care, shared Kosher meals, recreational activities, and personalized support.
Benefits of Senior Living Communities
The Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living has been in business for more than 40 years in the central New Jersey area. We were founded on principles that respect Jewish traditions and our values keep these same principles today, although we welcome residents of all faiths and walks of life. We believe in the benefits that our senior living communities offer to older adults, which include:
Companionship and Community
One of the greatest benefits that senior living communities offer to older adults is companionship and community. Getting older comes with many social changes, like retirement, and sometimes the passing of friends or family, which can impact a person’s well-being and state of mind.
By moving into a specialized community filled with people their age, seniors can socialize and connect with others to make new friendships. By living in one of the inviting senior living communities at The Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living, seniors can feel a renewed sense of belonging.
Recreational Activities
Another major benefit of senior living communities for seniors is the activities and recreation they get to experience. Many older adults are content with sitting and reading or watching TV, but others still want to explore and try new things. Senior living communities are a great way for them to do so, as they often offer a range of recreational activities. At The Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living, we provide on-site activities for seniors including:
- Exercise classes
- Card and board games
- Movies
- Dancing
- Book club
- Live entertainment
- Jewish religious services
- Arts and crafts
- Birthday celebrations
- Outings like shopping and theater trips
These are just some examples of activities that seniors can take advantage of at senior living communities, and at The Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living in particular.
Amenities
The amenities offered at senior living communities are another advantage of living at one, although which are available will depend on the type of senior living community selected. At The Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living, we’re proud to provide our residents with a wide range of amenities to keep them satisfied, including:
- Luxury studio, one-bedroom, and shared apartments
- On-site health center, exercise room, and hair salon
- Free Wi-Fi throughout the building
- Medical and non-medical transportation
- Media center with public Internet access
- Landscaped courtyards with seating

When senior adults can enjoy all these amenities and more, they won’t want to be anywhere else besides their senior living community.
These are just some of the benefits offered to older adults at The Oscar and Ella Wilf Campus for Senior Living.
