Senior Living News in Northern New Jersey

With predictable costs, maintenance-free homes, and an array of on-site activities, it's no surprise that Cedar Crest is attracting so many residents of 55-plus communities.

"Many people choose a 55-plus community first as a stepping stone," says Sales Manager Jessica Cirelli, "but we often hear that they wish they had chosen Cedar Crest from the start!"  

 People who live in retirement communities are less lonely, more physically active, and more engaged than before they moved in, according to a June 2025 U.S. News & World Report survey.

That certainly holds true at Cedar Crest, where residents have plenty of opportunities to connect with neighbors through clubs, exercise classes, volunteer efforts, creative pursuits, and shared meals. 

Christopher Williams had a short list of criteria for his ideal retirement community--proximity to friends and family, a carefree lifestyle, and great value. 

"Cedar Crest satisfied those criteria more completely than the other communities I researched and visited," says Christopher of the Erickson Senior Living community in Pompton Plains, N.J.
