Overview of United Methodist Communities at Collingswood

United Methodist Communities at Collingswood is a continuing care community on a single campus in Collingswood, New Jersey, in Camden County. It offers a full spectrum of senior living, including independent living, assisted living, memory care through its Tapestries program, and skilled nursing, so residents can move between levels of care without leaving the campus. The community is operated by United Methodist Homes of NJ and administered by Tamara Moreland.

The campus has 128 beds and currently runs at about 73 percent occupancy. Nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 24 minutes per resident each day, which reflects a meaningful amount of hands-on nursing support across the community. That level of staffing is especially relevant for residents receiving skilled nursing or rehabilitation care, where consistent oversight matters most.

The Tapestries memory care program is designed specifically for residents with dementia-related conditions, giving families a structured option if a loved one’s needs progress over time. Respite care is also available for those who need short-term support, and 24-hour staffing means help is on hand around the clock regardless of the level of care a resident is in.

Daily life on campus includes restaurant-style dining with a bistro option for quicker meals, along with a fitness area, salon, and library. Residents can take part in community programs built around hobbies and socialization, and the campus also provides housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services, so day-to-day chores are handled. Around-the-clock health monitoring and medication assistance are built into daily support as well.

The community accepts Medicare and Medicaid, giving families more than one way to help cover the cost of care. The neighborhood itself is very walkable, with a Walk Score of 89, meaning many everyday errands can be handled on foot, which can be a convenience for residents who are still mobile and for family members visiting regularly.

Reviews of the community’s care practices point to recurring attention needed around documentation, such as care plan updates and required assessments, and around safe resident-transfer procedures involving mechanical lifts. Families touring the community may want to ask how these areas are currently managed.
