1100 Laurel Oak Road, Voorhees, NJ 08043, Camden County

Lions Gate sits along Laurel Oak Road in Voorhees, offering a continuous care setting in Camden County. The campus is designed for seniors seeking everyday independence alongside clear pathways to higher levels of medical attention. With dedicated neighborhoods for assisted living, specialized dementia support, and skilled nursing, residents can transition smoothly as their daily needs change.

Living arrangements range from private studio and one-bedroom assisted living apartments to private and semi-private rooms within the health center. The Safe Haven memory care neighborhood provides a smaller setting with 21 private suites, each featuring an en-suite bathroom. Residents have access to shared communal spaces, an on-site pool, an exercise gym, and screening areas for movies and live music.

Daily dining centers on full kosher meals served restaurant-style across the community's dining rooms. Beyond the table, the campus runs an active schedule anchored by Lions Gate University, which brings in guest instructors for lectures covering music history, world geography, and local heritage. Jewish cultural traditions and holidays are actively celebrated, while residents of all faiths and backgrounds are welcomed.

Care services are staffed around the clock, with registered nurses overseeing assisted living and administering all medications. The health center holds 110 licensed long-term care beds, providing dedicated rehabilitation therapies, custodial assistance, and medical management under certified geriatricians. The memory care neighborhood holds ComfortMatters accreditation, offering structured routines and focused attention for individuals experiencing Alzheimer's disease or other dementias.

The community serves local South Jersey families who want comprehensive support without leaving familiar suburban surroundings. It offers both direct admissions from outside the neighborhood and long-term security for current residents planning ahead. Direct billing options include private payment, Medicare, and Medicaid.

I went in to do some service there and the nurse on the second floor was very rude but in the other hand I got a lot of help getting around by other staff members like Malikie Figueroa and Zahia Abdul-Aziz Also Keshia Cato they where very helpful 😊

Two adults; from my extended family; have been living at Lion's Gate; independent living section; for two years. The complex is immaculately-clean; and serene. The grounds are spacious and wooded. Resident safety is emphasized via hallway railings and signage. The Bistro dining-hall has delicious hot food and salads. The visitor-lounge has comfortable seating. The synagogue is elegantly-appointed; with the 12 Chagall Windows(replicas of the Hadassah Hospital Jeruselem synagogue); on the holy ark. Most important; every staff member provides assistance with gentleness and a smile. Accordingly, I look forward; to every visit.

I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant for 12 years, and during that time I have never witnessed a CEO or administrator respond to a crisis in the manner you did. Your willingness to shovel snow for staff, clear vehicles, ensure everyone was provided a meal, and actively work on the floors alongside every department until all staff were safe demonstrated exceptional leadership. Your actions exemplified true teamwork and commitment, and they did not go unnoticed. Thank you for leading by example during a time when it mattered most.

This review is for Lion's Gate Assisted Living. I helped a friend move and settle in last November. It was not an easy transition for this individual. The staff (nursing, activities and even management) has bent over backward to help him adjust. The facility is clean and the activities schedule is full and varied. No one likes loosing independence but, if you have to move a loved one somewhere, I believe Lion's Gate is one of best.

This original review was from 4 years ago. I am updating. I think I should clarify that. I hope they have improved over the years. That said my original review was a 1 star due to unappealing food, extended periods without being checked on, short therapy session, Spartan rooms with squeaky beds and having to wheel oneself to the dining without needed assistance. All that said no harm came to my father and no major incidents occured. This is in comparison to a recent stay at another facility. Below is the original review. My standards have softened to do no harm. My father was very disappointed with his experience at Lion’s Gate Rehab. Here is his review, as he stated it to me. “The food is terrible and only offered you two options for dinner every night, neither of which you want. The room is minimal, with a thin hospital bed mattress that is plastic and makes noise with every move you make. Care is minimal. Not rude or mean, just minimal and Neglectful (forgot to pick me up for meals while in a wheelchair. I had to wheel myself. I waited for someone to pick me up for breakfast, but no one showed up, so I wheeled myself down from my room to the luncheon area and then wheeled myself back because after an hour and no one came to pick me up to take me back to my room. This happened daily for meals.) The nursing staff was friendly enough, just not offering much to be desired. My daughter, who visited, helped me do things the nurses should have, like getting in bed at night and getting to meals. Compared to other rehabilitation places, the care here was almost nonexistent. I could sit there for hours and never see anybody aside for a pulse check every 3 hours or so. Even worse was when I had to inform the nurses that they hadn’t given me my medication which they did not realize. PT was half an hour a day. It was minimal attention, including one day when they wanted me to use an exercise bike that I had to wait over five minutes to use. I rode the bike for 15 minutes, and then my session was over, and I was sent back to my room. If this is supposed to be rehabilitation for me to get stronger and better to go home, they certainly aren’t doing much of it. Besides having a desperately terrible experience and wanting to go home right away because I was miserable there, it was a wonderful time. “ I would like to state that we felt that this review needed to be said because while the rehab was relatively clean and the staff was not abusive, improvements still need to be made to garner the reputation of excellence it is supposed to have. We gave a low review in hopes these issues will be addressed and improved for future patients. And to add, my father got much better once I brought him home. Update: My standard of neglect and poor care has recently changed due to my father being in another facility that was so bad he had to rehab longer due to injuries acquired from neglect and poor treatment at the rehab. Lion’s Gate needed work but was not nearly as bad as what we have recently experienced. For that we add a star.
