I am anxious about tipping. Do you have a policy concerning this?
There is NO tipping at The Arbors. Once a year at holiday time, we welcome a contribution which is distributed among all employees.
Eventually I may need some personal assistance with bathing and similar tasks. Can this be provided by The Arbors?
Yes. We can arrange for personal care. Personal assistance for bathing and dressing can be arranged.
Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the responsibility of my medications. Could you handle this for me?
Yes. The Arbors is licensed to supervise medications. A small monthly fee is charged for this additional service.
Should I give up my car, is there transportation?
Complimentary car service to shopping, local malls, and local doctors appointments. Shared Ride Service is available, by appointment through Monmouth County for a nominal fee. Also, parking is available on-site, should you bring your car.
Are there any “extras” for which I will be financially responsible?
Yes. Telephone service is a requirement. Cable TV is optional. All rooms are equipped with a phone jack and cable outlet. Arrangements for these services are a personal matter.
I would enjoy having family and friends as my guests for meals occasionally. Since your dining room is not public, may I do this?
Yes. Guests are welcome at all meals for a modest charge.
At what times are meals served?
Coffee service begins at 7:15am. Breakfast is served at 8:30am. Lunch is served at 12:30pm. Dinner is at 5:00pm.
What about security?
There is someone either in the office, or “walking” the building 24 hours a day.
May I bring my pet?
Sorry. Because of guests’ allergies, pets are not allowed at The Arbors. We do allow pet visits. Therapy dogs visit also.
I understand that bedroom and bathroom linens are supplied and laundered by The Arbors. What about my personal items?
We have a Residents’ Laundry for your use. Should you not wish to do your own personal laundry, the office can make arrangements for this service.
If I’m “a bit under the weather”, may I have a tray in my room?
Of course you may. There is a minimal charge for this service.
