400 Locust Street, Lakewood, NJ 08701, Ocean County

Harrogate is a Life Plan community set on a 52-acre wooded property at 400 Locust Street in Lakewood, New Jersey. The campus gives older adults an active setting near the Jersey Shore, just minutes north of Toms River in Ocean County. Residents can spend mornings walking quiet wooded trails, practicing their short game on the putting green, or playing with pets in the fenced dog park.

Daily life revolves around a wide mix of pastimes, hobbies, and social spaces. You can head down the hall to the Duke and Duchess salon, work on a project in the dedicated woodworking shop, or plant vegetables in the raised garden beds. The community also features a heated indoor pool and hot tub, an arts and crafts studio, a private library, and games like shuffleboard, horseshoes, and bocce.

Meals offer plenty of variety across multiple dining venues. The Schnetzer Dining Room serves three sit-down meals every day with dishes ranging from casual lunch fare to evening steaks, lamb chops, and seafood. For a quick bite, residents stop by the Kettle Creek Café for specialty coffees, smoothies, and light salads, or head out to the Café Terrace for outdoor cookouts in the summer. An on-site registered dietitian is also available to help residents plan around specific nutritional needs.

For healthcare, Harrogate provides on-site support across several levels of need, including assisted independence, memory support, short-term rehabilitation, and skilled nursing. The community holds a state Long Term Care Facility licence and maintains 68 licensed long-term care beds. This setup works well for seniors who want independent living today but want the reassurance of medical care and rehabilitation on the exact same campus if their health needs change.

That is the New Jersey median for a semi-private nursing home room, not this community's price. This community's actual rate depends on room type and care level. Ask us for this month's real numbers.

After a hospitalization for a stroke and surgery, Harrogate was an exceptional place for rehab and recovery for my husband Michael who also suffers from dementia. Patience and encouragement were given by all members of the team, administrative and hands on day-to-day folks. PT had Michael up and moving right away with excellent results. The variety of activities included group games (wheel of fortune), sing along and having time to sit in the garden were good for the body and the mind. Thanks Giannna and Pamela. There were many individuals that contributed to Mike's successful stay at Harrogate! Thank You All! Especially Lisa for making the transitions easy-peasy!

My goodness ~ Harrogate Senior Living of Lakewood, NJ, USA. I must admit scary hospital situation with my Mom. Then on to rehab - oh geeze. ** We selected Harrogate and what a fantastic place and organization and people. Lisa, Mike, Kelly, Jillian and the entire professional team - my mom received white glove service and attention; our family was at ease and welcome to visit with any and all questions asked. ** Would I recommend Harrogate for your loved one? NO QUESTION: YES!!! THANK YOU, Harrogate. God bless.

My mother required extensive rehabilitation after a fall. Harrogate Medical Center-Skilled Nursing Facility provided exceptional and compassionate care during Mom's lengthy stay. She improved significantly with excellent Physical and Occupational Therapy available on-site. Skilled nursing services also expertly managed multiple chronic medical conditions. Equally important, kindness and empathy were expressed by directors/administrators, all members of the care team and support staff. And the food is very, very good! 10 stars out of 10.

I wanted to take the time to say thank you for all the work and compassion you and your staff at Harrogate exhibited to my mom and dad. My father had to have knee surgery and then subsequently needed to have around the clock antibiotics administered to him daily for 6 weeks. In turn my mom was also hospitalized at the same time because of her diabetes. The staff and administration at Harrogate were amazing tending to the needs of my mom and dad, additionally they were amazing at helping me navigate the aftercare challenges that were required when they were finally discharged. Their nursing staff is on point, respectful, caring, and extremely attune to the need of the residents. Melissa and Kelly were amazing at helping my family and I navigate the challenges of senior care and guiding us so that we had the best possible outcome. Thank you again for all your help and support. You do amazing work there!!!!

I am not a customer so I can not comment on the level of care or how good the food is but I can say what I saw during a sales pitch. The sales person was very vague about pricing claiming how complex it is that we must meet one on one. Okay, I get it I'm dumb but I can understand pricing ranges. Then the tour through low drop ceiling hall, to me it felt confining with the narrow hall. Every resident we encountered seemed genuinely happily and greeted us with "Welcome to Harrogate." It seemed sort of like the movie "Westworld." There is a fantastic indoor heated swimming pool with a spa. The rooms that we were shown would be adequate for anyone to happily live in. What turned me off the most is when we walked past the salad bar area and it had sticky tile floors. The residents seemed very happy and content living here, it just is not for me. Up Date 05-21-19 Just to be honestly fair I just read that Harrogate got one of the highest rating scores in the area.
