Harrogate Retirement Community

Harrogate Retirement Community Harrogate, Ocean County, New Jersey’s premier active senior living community, near Toms River

We don’t just say we’re Toms River, New Jersey’s premier senior living community – we live it every day. Since our doors opened in 1988, we’ve dedicated ourselves to delivering the finest, most vibrant and most secure senior living experience you’ll find in Ocean County, New Jersey. At Harrogate, you’ll find much more than maintenance-free living, fine dining, engaged staff, and desirable services

and amenities. We absolutely offer all that – just as a Life Plan Community (also known as a CCRC) should. Yet as a Life Care community, we also offer residents guaranteed access to additional levels of living, at lower-than-market rates, for life. We’ve earned a reputation for excellent health care, as evidenced by our 5-Star Quality Measures rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. And our not-for-profit status means we answer to residents, not shareholders. Our profits are reinvested in Harrogate to improve our buildings, increase staff, add new services and amenities, and enhance residents’ lives, today and in the future.

Our Sip & Paint event brought out some impressive artistic talent! 🎨Residents put their own creative touch on a floral wreath design, and it was fun to see how each painting took on a personality of its own. By the end of the afternoon, every canvas looked a little different, making each one as unique as the artist behind it. We think they turned out beautifully!

This week, we're proud to celebrate the Certified Nursing Assistants who make our community such a special place to call home.

To our incredible CNAs: thank you for your unwavering commitment and the compassion you bring to our community each day. We are grateful for all that you do.

Our Health Center residents enjoyed a special visit from Ana and Terri of Ana’s World of Minis, who brought their “Lambs of Love” program to the community.
Ana’s World of Minis brings certified miniature therapy animals to communities, creating moments of joy, calm, and meaningful connection that residents often remember long after the visit. The program frequently inspires singing, storytelling, and emotional connection.
Five beautiful lambs, including Cassidy, Cash, and Bandit, spent time throughout the Health Center with residents and team members. Residents had the opportunity to gently see, feel, and hear the animals, creating a truly heartwarming experience for all.

May is Older Americans Month — a time to celebrate the wisdom, resilience, contributions, and lived experiences of older adults.

At FellowshipLIFE, we believe aging isn’t something to fear. It’s something to honor, support, and celebrate every day across our communities.

For Geraldine Colburn, a FellowshipLIFE resident, that celebration often begins with music. Whether she is listening to visiting musicians or gathering with friends, Geraldine finds that her appreciation for life has only deepened with time.

“Age is a state of mind,” Geraldine says. “If there is one thing I have learned as I get older, it is to have patience.”

Her story is a beautiful reminder that aging brings perspective, connection, and new ways of seeing the world.

This Memorial Day, we pause with deep gratitude for the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Across FellowshipLIFE, we are honored to know and care for so many residents who have served. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication are part of the fabric of our communities, and we are continually inspired by the lives they have lived and the example they continue to set.

Today, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and we are especially grateful for the veterans in our FellowshipLIFE communities whose service, stories, and strength continue to inspire us.

This month, we proudly celebrate Older Americans Month and honor the incredible older adults who make our community so special.

The 2026 theme, Champion Your Health, focuses on prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as key parts of healthy aging. It encourages taking an active role in your health, staying engaged in preventive care, and making informed choices that support independence and well-being.

We are proud to support residents in living vibrant, purposeful lives through wellness programs, engaging activities, and opportunities that nurture mind, body, and spirit every day.

Here’s to celebrating aging well and living fully this month and always!

In honor of Nurses Week, we celebrated the nurses who are part of the Harrogate Village community, those who once answered the call and those who continue to do so each day. Care like theirs does not fade. It lives on in quiet moments, steady hands, and the way they show up for others. It was special to see those stories come together in one place. We are so grateful for the compassion and heart they continue to share.
