Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (70% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 24 days.
Applewood Village sits in Freehold, New Jersey, a very walkable pocket of town (Walk Score 88) where most errands don’t require a car. The 51-bed community spans the full continuum: independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, all under one roof. Right now it’s running at 67% occupancy, with 34 of its 51 beds filled.
Nurse aides log 2 hours and 50 minutes per resident each day, the most of any role, while registered nurses add 1 hour 22 minutes and LPNs another 1 hour 42 minutes. Rehabilitation services and respite care round out the clinical side, useful both for residents recovering from a hospital stay and for families who need a short-term break from caregiving at home.
A Culinary Institute and Wellness Center anchor the programming, alongside Active Adult Living and Short-term Rehab tracks, home services, and volunteer opportunities for residents who want a hand staying engaged beyond the building. The amenities match that energy: a glass-enclosed heated indoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center, a performing arts center, and a putting green.
On the regulatory side, state inspections here have tended to center on care planning and documentation, along with resident rights and protections. Medicare and private pay are both accepted, which widens the door for families weighing how to cover the cost.
Between the full continuum of care, the staffing hours behind it, and an amenity list built for residents who still want an active daily rhythm, Applewood Village is set up for families who want room to age in place without changing addresses.
Applewood Village is administered by Ms. Sally Awad.
In New Jersey, the Department of Health, Health Facilities Evaluation and Licensing conducts mandatory unannounced surveys to ensure facilities provide safe and effective resident care.
