The Best Retirement Location in New Jersey?

If you’re searching for the best retirement location in New Jersey, you won’t need to look any further than Crane’s Mill in West Caldwell. Earlier this year, our friends at Inside Jersey magazine wrote an exciting cover story on “Jersey’s Best Places to Retire.” Here’s an excerpt of how the magazine selected towns for the list: “Using a specific methodology to narrow our search, Inside Jersey looked at cost of living and crime rates, culture and camaraderie. We tallied available health care services, including licensed internists, hospitals and long-term care agencies that provide preventive, rehabilitative and therapeutic services to patients in …Read More »

Say Goodbye to Stairs

The perfect retirement community means different things to different people. Some may look for peace and quiet while others want activities and excitement. In our experience, there’s one simple, universal requirement that the homebodies and around-towners have in common: “no more stairs!” Many people’s homes have the bedroom and bath upstairs, the kitchen downstairs and laundry all the way in the basement. Truth be told, that’s not an ideal setting for anyone, let alone an older adult. At Crane’s Mill, we’re as much about safety and security as we are luxury and lavishness. Every one of our apartments and cottages …Read More »
