Here at Emeritus at Stafford, we foster an atmosphere of family andmunity among staff and residents, and a sense of belonging – of being at home. A variety of senior living apartment styles and accommodations are available to meet each individual’s needs.

Senior Living Apartments

Emeritus at Stafford provides the look of an elegant resort with the feel of home. Seventy-seven senior apartments are on two floors with a grand staircase or elevator for convenience. Relax by the floor-to-ceiling fireplace in the winter, or on a rocking chair on the porch in the summer. Enjoy the company of friends with some lemonade in the sunroom or with popcorn in the theater. Each day at Stafford you’ll have time to enjoy life, and to trade your household chores for the joys of retirement.

Strong, Caring Relationships

We nurture strong relationships with area hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and rehabilitation centers such as Southern Ocean County Hospital, Genesis Rehabilitation, Arcadia, Seacrest, and Fox Rehabilitation. Through the communications and relationships that we share with key staff within these affiliations, we provide a seamless continuum of care for our residents.

Our Staff

Our staff, our residents, and their families and friends are all equally important members of the Brookdale team. We strive to instill in all team members a sincere belief that their individual contributions are important to our residents’ well being, and to the success of our organization.
