The difference between assisted living and independent living is the amount of daily support needed by the individual:

• Assisted living is designed for seniors who are mostly independent but require some assistance with Activities of Daily Living, such as bathing, dressing, or medication management.
• Independent living is designed for older adults who do not require daily assistance but want the convenience of maintenance-free living, dining options, and social engagement within a senior living community.

Both options promote active, fulfilling lifestyles, but assisted living adds personalized care and support when needed.

The difference between assisted living and memory care is the level of care provided and the needs that are addressed:

• Assisted living is designed for seniors who need some help with daily tasks but are able to maintain a relatively independent lifestyle and a flexible schedule.
• Memory care is designed for seniors with cognitive conditions like Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia who require a higher level of care and supervision. Residents in memory care follow a structured daily routine in a secure, calm setting that enhances their safety, engagement, and overall well-being.

At Springpoint Living at Manalapan, assisted living residents enjoy a vibrant and connected lifestyle with personalized support for daily living activities through our exclusive LivWell wellness program. Each resident receives an individualized care plan designed to meet their specific needs while promoting independence and dignity. Care is provided discreetly in private or semi-private apartments, ensuring comfort and privacy. Residents also enjoy full access to community amenities and activities, which includes enriching culinary experiences, therapeutic horticulture, creative arts, educational classes, and more.

If higher levels of care are needed, Springpoint Living at Manalapan offers a Lifecare plan through Springpoint’s network of communities that provides financial protection and guaranteed access to additional care options. With a one-time optional Lifecare fee, residents secure a stable rate at our nearby sister community – Village Point Rehabilitation & Healthcare – or any other Springpoint community.

This means monthly payments remain similar to what residents pay at Springpoint Living at Manalapan, even as care needs increase. The Lifecare plan helps protect against rising healthcare costs, offering peace of mind and long-term security for both residents and their families.
