Safety of Residents and Families
At Village at Belmar, we have made a substantial commitment to integrate state-of-the-art safety features into the senior living community. We want everyone—our residents, their families, our prospective residents and visitors from outside the community, and our staff—to feel safe and at ease.
Cleaner Air for Better Living

Village Viewpoints
So much has changed — but some things haven’t
Embracing the “new normal” with unwavering dedication.
We’re all adjusting to a new normal, each in a multitude of ways. Nevertheless, recent circumstances don’t change some of life’s other realities. People continue to seek the right community for their next move and families continue to search for exceptional care for their aging loved ones.
From our first days of planning Village at Belmar, this remarkable community has been guided by what we call a “passion for compassion.” Providing a safe, nurturing, fulfilling community has been our core mission from the beginning. That continues through the current COVID-19 crisis, and it will continue long after the pandemic subsides.
Not all senior living communities are the same.
At their best, senior living communities — including Village at Belmar — provide seniors and their families superior safety, security and peace of mind at all times … and especially during times like these.
Compared to living at home — with trips for groceries and medical care, and incoming visitors, delivery people and maintenance providers — communities like ours offer a secure, controlled environment that’s monitored 24/7. Incoming guests are limited and screened. Social distancing is supported and reinforced and family connections are facilitated with safety and well-being in mind. That’s in addition to the advantages of maintenance-free living, prepared nutritional (and now delivered) meals, attentive, dedicated staff, meaningful social interaction, wellness monitoring, and medical care close at hand.
