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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New Jersey

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New Jersey?

Assisted living in New Jersey supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New Jersey?

Assisted living in New Jersey is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New Jersey Medicaid cover assisted living?

New Jersey Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New Jersey) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 287 assisted living facilities in New Jersey. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New Jersey?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New Jersey, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in New Jersey?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
