Overview of Twin Cedars

Facebook Instagram

Twin Cedars sits at 1456 Glassboro Road in Wenonah, New Jersey, a 37-bed assisted living community run by Gayatri Rama Assisted Living-Deptford LLC and administered by Ms. Dahena Velez. The neighborhood scores 33 on Walk Score, so it’s somewhat walkable but most trips still mean getting in a car. Right now the building is running at 57% occupancy, with 21 of its 37 beds filled.

A doctor is on staff, and licensed nurses and CNAs cover the building 24 hours a day. Residents can see a dentist, podiatrist, or optometrist on-site, along with getting lab work and EKG monitoring done without an outside trip. Medication supervision is available, and residents keep the option of their own physician or the house doctor.

Three home-cooked meals are served daily, with special diets accommodated, and the activity calendar runs through exercise classes, bingo, gardening, and seasonal parties. A volunteer program and regular religious services round out the offerings. For safety, hallways are monitored and exit doors are alarmed to help prevent wandering, and residents can get hairdressing and nail care without leaving the building.

New Jersey’s state inspections for a facility like this have tended to center on fire-safety systems, emergency preparedness, and staffing credentials rather than hands-on resident care. Twin Cedars accepts Medicaid, giving families a coverage path to plan around.

It’s a fit for older adults looking for a smaller, closely staffed community where medical care is close at hand and the days have real structure to them.
