Overview of Magnolia Gardens

Facebook

Magnolia Gardens, a family-owned assisted living residence in Toms River’s suburban setting, serves 92 residents across 100 licensed beds, operating 15% above New Jersey’s baseline occupancy rate. Mr. Robert Lapid administers the community, which accepts both Medicaid and Medicare and maintains 24-hour staffing with physician presence. The facility has expanded steadily, from 48 residents in March 2021 to current near-full capacity, reflecting consistent market demand for its model. Located 10.9 miles from downtown Toms River at 1935 Lakewood Road, the neighborhood carries a Walk Score of 11, meaning residents and families depend entirely on cars for errands and activities.

Care encompasses assisted living with professional staff, a specialized Serenity Place memory care track, respite services, and rehabilitation. Medical infrastructure includes nursing services, a computerized medication management system, and daily medication monitoring. Three meals and snacks arrive daily; a central whirlpool bath, weekly housekeeping and laundry, wheelchair-accessible transportation, beauty and barber services, and emergency response systems round out amenities. Private and semi-private room options are available.

State inspection data spanning seven surveys from 2021 through November 2025 reveals controlled deficiency patterns. Six total citations across five years translate to 1.2 per year (67% below state average) and 0.9 per inspection (55% below average). Only 2 of 7 inspections produced deficiencies, yielding a 29% deficiency rate; vastly better than New Jersey’s 244% average.

Themes are clustered in three areas: documentation and facility maintenance (2021), housekeeping staff training during COVID-19 (July 2024), and dining service compliance including menu posting and continuous snack access (August 2024). The November 2025 inspection documented zero deficiencies, indicating resolution of prior issues.

Neither fines nor license suspensions appear in the record.

Magnolia Gardens fits families seeking assisted living with memory care capacity in a suburban New Jersey location demonstrating sustained occupancy strength and favorable compliance trajectory.
