(Courtesy of Lester Senior Housing) Many older adults wish to maintain their independence in their home for as long as possible. However, this often brings challenges and can be potentially dangerous without taking certain precautions or without help.

Companion services and home health aides offer important, hands-on services but they don’t provide the 360-degree supportive, active lifestyle that an assisted living community offers.

Assisted living offers a new lease on life, with the support needed to maintain a healthy level of independence. Life is renewed—free from the responsibilities of keeping up a home. It also eases the family’s worries about their loved ones’ welfare and well-being on a daily basis, knowing that there is a wellness team on staff, aides to help with tasks of daily living, meals in a beautiful dining room with others and plenty to do as desired—all under one roof.

At the Weston Assisted Living Residence, part of the Lester Senior Housing Community in Whippany, seniors enjoy a social circle of peers, new hobbies or interests to explore, a range of programs and events, elegant glatt kosher dining and just the right amount of daily support they need in distinctive surroundings. There is also an intimate Memory Care Suite for those who require a different level of personalized care.

Seniors and family members interested in learning more about the assisted living or memory care options available at Lester Senior Housing are invited to an open house on Wednesday, October 24, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. To reserve a spot or arrange a tour, contact David Rozen at [email protected]  or 973-929-2725.

The Lester Senior Housing Community is located at 903-905 Route 10 East in Whippany, New Jersey, on the Alex Aidekman Family Jewish Community Campus. For more information about Memory Care at Lester or the assisted and independent living options there, visit http://jchcorp.org.
