Mattison Crossing Superior Senior Living Care By Pam Teel

Mattison Crossing at Manalapan Avenue is a premier retirement community in Freehold, New Jersey. The community offers assisted living and memory care ser- vices to residents. The facility provides residents with the opportunity to be part of a community that celebrates individuality while also delivering superior senior care with a staff of professionals who are highly experienced, knowledgeable and caring; a staff that are highly devoted to making sure their residents are always treated with respect and dignity and that they receive the personal attention they deserve, even in these troubling times due to Covid-19. Daily living as one grows older can be challenging enough, throwing that in the mix with a life altering virus can be downright devastating leading to even bigger challenges for both the residents and staff alike. Ensuring that the residents and the team members who work there remain well is the main priority at Mattison Cross- ing during these unsettling times. While many Senior communities have been hit particularly hard this past year and have been on lockdown, Mattison Crossing has been working through these challenging times and finding ways to keep their residents safe and engaged to counter the isolation felt by many and to bring a sense of normalcy back to their lives. With restrictions still in place, they have been following the State guidelines by using social distancing methods, keeping to smaller groups of people while dining and during activities, preventing co-mingling of units, wearing masks, and main- taining visitor restrictions.
