Assisted Living in Camden, NJ

Located on the Delaware River directly across from Philadelphia, Camden is a great choice for seniors who enjoy history and culture. Numerous attractions are within easy reach, including the Walt Whitman House, the Battleship New Jersey and the Adventure Aquarium. Despite the area’s rich history, Camden is a relatively youthful city. Seniors represent less than 11% of its 71,791 residents, which may affect the availability of certain services and amenities. Still, there are over a dozen assisted living facilities in the area for seniors who need extra help with daily activities or want to avoid the burden of household maintenance and cleaning.

The median cost of assisted living in Camden is $5,685 per month, which is higher than the national average but lower than in other parts of the state. Camden is home to the top-performing Cooper University Hospital and the Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, and several other facilities are located in the area.

This guide takes a deeper look at long-term care prices in Camden and local resources that can help seniors retain their independence.
