Independent Living at JCHC: Enjoy Freedom with Support When You Need It
For seniors who cherish their independence but want access to a vibrant community and light support, JCHC’s independent living options provide the best of both worlds. We offer two distinct independent living communities:
Lester Senior Living in Whippany, Morris County offers beautifully appointed private apartments with a wealth of amenities designed for active seniors. Residents enjoy community dining, fitness classes, art lessons, lectures through “JCHC University,” knitting clubs, movie nights, and much more. Our dining program features restaurant-style meals, accommodating kosher and vegetarian diets. It’s the perfect environment for older adults looking to stay active, engaged, and independent.
Village Apartments in South Orange, Essex County is ideal for seniors seeking luxury independent living with easy access to the town’s rich cultural scene. Newly renovated apartments feature open-concept kitchens, modern bathrooms, and energy-efficient lighting. Just steps away from shopping, dining, and entertainment, Village Apartments offer the freedom to enjoy life your way while being part of a welcoming community.
Assisted Living at JCHC: Personalized Care with Dignity
For seniors needing help with daily tasks but still wanting to maintain their independence, Lester Senior Living’s assisted living program offers the perfect balance of support and privacy.
Residents receive assistance with bathing, dressing, and medication management, all within the comfort of their own apartments. Our dedicated caregivers, many of whom have been part of the JCHC family for over 15 years, provide compassionate care 24/7. The community also offers access to on-site wellness providers, healthy meals, and a packed calendar of social activities—all tailored to help residents thrive physically, emotionally, and socially.
Memory Care at JCHC: Compassionate Support for Those with Dementia
Our Memory Care Suite at Lester Senior Living is specially designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. The environment is safe, comfortable, and supportive—featuring dementia-friendly layouts and advanced technology like wander management systems.
Highly trained caregivers provide personalized care plans that promote safety, emotional well-being, and quality of life. Residents can engage in structured social activities designed to stimulate memory and create meaningful moments. Our program is recognized as one of the top memory care options in Northern New Jersey.
Affordable Senior Housing Options at JCHC
JCHC is also proud to offer affordable senior housing through:
- Jewish Federation Plaza in West Orange
- B’nai B’rith Federation House in South Orange
These communities provide comfortable private apartments, dining options, and a variety of social activities for low-income seniors. Through our Assisted Living Program (ALP), qualifying residents can receive critical healthcare services, allowing them to remain in their homes while getting the care they need. This unique program helps fill the healthcare gap for many seniors in New Jersey.
