Arbor Terrace Montgomery offers three distinct care levels: assisted living for residents who want help with daily routines while staying active, our Bridges neighborhood for those in the early stages of cognitive change, and memory care for residents living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. The right fit depends on current needs and how they may change over time. Our team can talk through each option with you, and our online quiz offers a helpful starting point in just a few minutes.

A tour is your chance to see the community, meet our team, and get a feel for daily life in Montgomery Township.

Pricing depends on the care level, apartment style, and services that best match each resident.

Common signs include growing isolation at home, difficulty managing daily tasks, concerns about safety, or changes in memory that benefit from added support. Many families across Skillman, Montgomery Township, and the greater Princeton area reach out when they notice these shifts and want to plan ahead rather than respond to a crisis. Our team can help you think through where things stand today and what the right timing might look like.

We encourage families to be part of the conversation from the very beginning, whether that means joining a tour, sitting in on advisor meetings, or reviewing the cost calculator together.

Bringing everyone into the process tends to make the transition smoother for the resident and the whole family.
