Alcoeur Gardens at Toms River

Alcoeur Gardens at Toms River is a memory care community in Toms River, New Jersey, specializing in Alzheimer's and dementia care. The community provides 24-hour care and supervision in a home-like residential setting designed to offer dignity, comfort, and safety for residents experiencing memory loss.

The community's physical design prioritizes safety while supporting residents' autonomy. The interiors and grounds are designed to feel familiar and comfortable, with discreet safety measures including alarms on gates, doors, and windows that allow residents freedom to move and wander throughout the house and grounds. Staff work collaboratively with family members, caregivers, social workers, doctors, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and psychiatric hospitals to support residents' care needs.

Alcoeur Gardens offers tailored services and care levels to address the wellness needs of seniors as they age. The community is committed to enabling residents to age in place, continuing to provide care even as conditions progress, and working to minimize the need for moves to other facilities. The staff specifically note their ability to care for residents with medical or behavioral challenges.

The community recognizes the stress on family caregivers and offers respite care services for those needing a break from full-time caregiving. Alcoeur Gardens also hosts free support groups held the third Monday and Wednesday of each month, available both via Zoom and in-person, for those seeking information about Alzheimer's and dementia or a safe space to discuss caregiver concerns and burnout.
