It is the latest community in the Bridgeway family of companies and is located on the same campus as its sister community the Bridgeway Care and Rehabilitation Center at Hillsborough.

The people at the Avalon understand that navigating the wide range of senior living options can be a challenge for any family. That is why they are committed to providing every resident and their family with the support they need to develop a customized plan for senior living. With a comprehensive continuum of care, luxurious and beautifully appointed communities, and vibrant and diverse daily programming, the Avalon Assisted Living residence offers a variety of options to meet each individual’s unique needs.

The Avalon’s award-winning, assisted lifestyle combines the warmth of a family atmosphere with the personalized support for daily activities, security and services residents need to live happy, safe and independent lives, while offering comfort and peace of mind in knowing that skilled nursing, on-site rehabilitation through Bridgeway Care at Home in-home therapy, long-term care, and on-site physician services are available within its continuum of care. Licensed nurses are on the premises 24 hours a day, and all medications are passed by nurses (not Certified Medication Aides).

A variety of floor plans is offered so residents can choose the accommodations that best match their needs – from comfortable studios to spacious, two-bedroom suites. All apartments are designed in accordance with the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Service standards for resident safety, including fire-resistant building materials and sprinkler systems. Residents are welcome to decorate their apartment with favorite furnishings and mementos to help make their new residences feel like home.

The Generations Village, available at Avalon Bridgewater and Avalon Hillsborough, offers memory care services in a safe and secure environment for those with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other memory impairments. The staff, specially trained in Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, strives to meet the needs of each resident by providing compassionate, attentive and holistic care, personalized programming and services every day.
The new addition at The Avalon Assisted Living at Hillsborough was thoughtfully designed with luxurious one- and two-bedroom apartments, an outdoor terrace, private dining room and lounge as well as spacious sitting areas, bistro, and a large state-of-the art therapy gym – all beautifully appointed.
Memory Care at the community has doubled its capacity with an entire floor devoted to its Generations Village. Enhanced safety, training and amenities create a haven of dignity and support focused on caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other memory impairments.

Once a resident in any of the Bridgeway Senior Healthcare family of communities, individuals will have access to a comprehensive family of coordinated health services. In addition to Assisted Living, Memory Care and Respite Care (short-term stays), other services include Rehabilitation, Long-Term Care, Skilled Nursing, and Home Therapy.
