Lester Senior Living
With both assisted living and independent living apartments on the Lester Senior Living campus, we’re uniquely positioned to foster a lively, inclusive environment where residents of all care levels come together to enjoy a rich and connected lifestyle. Residents from both areas are encouraged to come together often, fostering a true sense of togetherness and community spirit.
Mealtimes are one of many opportunities to connect, with residents enjoying delicious, chef-prepared meals in our beautiful, welcoming dining room. It’s more than just a place to eat—it’s a space where friendships are built, conversations flow, and laughter is shared.
At Lester, we believe that staying socially and emotionally engaged is just as important as physical wellness. That’s why we offer a wide variety of daily programs, events, and group activities designed to promote companionship, stimulate the mind, and bring joy to everyday life. Whether it’s joining a book club, attending a lecture, playing games with friends, or participating in a creative workshop, there’s always something happening that encourages residents to stay active, involved, and inspired.
Residents can also take advantage of the beautiful outdoor spaces on campus—whether it’s enjoying a peaceful stroll along the landscaped walking paths or relaxing with a neighbor on a sunny bench. And for those looking to explore beyond the campus, our community bus is ready to take residents to exciting local events, cultural outings, shopping trips, and more.
We take great pride in cultivating an atmosphere where friendships flourish, experiences are shared, and every resident feels part of a warm and caring community that celebrates the joy of everyday living.

At Village Apartments, we make sure senior living isn’t just comfortable—it’s truly fulfilling.




Jewish Federation Plaza
At Jewish Federation Plaza, staying active, social, and connected is a way of life. Our vibrant senior community in West Orange offers a rich calendar of activities designed to keep residents engaged, energized, and inspired each day.
From lively game nights and group movie viewings to art classes, guest lectures, and cultural celebrations, there’s always something happening that brings neighbors together. Our popular Walking Club gets residents moving and enjoying the outdoors, while lifelong learning workshops and discussion groups keep minds sharp and curious. Many residents also enjoy attending enrichment programs, wellness classes, and special events hosted by the neighboring JCC of Greater MetroWest.
What makes activities at Fed Plaza truly special is that many are resident-led—giving individuals the chance to share their talents, form clubs, and help shape the community experience. Whether you’re looking to try something new or reconnect with a lifelong passion, you’ll find endless opportunities for friendship, creativity, and fun right here at home.

B’Nai B’rith
Perfectly situated just across from the scenic Grove Park and only a mile from downtown South Orange, B’nai B’rith offers seniors the best of both comfort and convenience. Residents enjoy easy access to the post office, library, restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues, with the South Orange jitney available on a set schedule to make getting around even easier. Seton Hall University is also nearby, adding to the cultural richness of the area.
But what truly sets B’nai B’rith apart is the vibrant lifestyle waiting right outside each apartment door. Residents can take part in a wide range of on-site exercise classes and cultural programs—including music, arts and crafts, games, and more—designed to keep minds and bodies active. A welcoming community room hosts group activities, lectures, and social gatherings that bring neighbors together in meaningful ways.
