Where Nature and Senior Living Thrive Together
At Meadow Lakes, nature isn’t just a view, it’s an experience woven into everyday life. As the only senior living community in New Jersey with an accredited arboretum, we offer residents a living landscape filled with discovery, connection, and renewal. Our 103-acre campus is a place where trees are labeled, paths are peaceful, and the outdoors inspires everything from wellness to creativity.
A One-of-a-Kind Arboretum in New Jersey
Unlike any other community in the region, Meadow Lakes is home to a nationally accredited arboretum, recognized by the ArbNet Arboretum Accreditation Program. This unique feature reflects our deep commitment to conservation and lifelong learning. Here, more than 100 labeled tree species offer residents and visitors the chance to learn something new while enjoying the natural beauty of our New Jersey arboretum.

Wellness That Grows from the Ground Up
Time in nature supports physical, emotional, and cognitive health, especially as we age. Our arboretum makes it easy to enjoy those benefits daily. Scenic walking trails invite fresh air and light movement. Garden spaces promote mindfulness and sensory engagement. Birdwatching, outdoor meditation, and seasonal tours are just a few of the ways residents connect with the world around them.
Through our LivWell wellness program, many wellness experiences at Meadow Lakes are inspired by nature and encourage movement, engagement, and reflection in ways that reach beyond traditional fitness.
Social Activities with a Natural Twist
Our arboretum doesn’t just nurture plants, it also brings people together. Residents enjoy a variety of senior living social activities centered around nature: garden clubs, art classes inspired by the landscape, nature photography workshops, and community planting days.
Whether it’s sharing gardening tips or attending an outdoor lecture, these programs foster friendships and a sense of community. For many, the arboretum becomes not only a source of beauty but a backdrop for some of their most meaningful moments.
A Natural Extension of Home
At Meadow Lakes, the arboretum is not just a highlight of everyday life, it is our way of life. Residents take pride in its upkeep, participate in its programming, and celebrate its seasonal changes. The connection to nature is part of what makes our community vibrant, energizing, and distinctly welcoming.
As a nonprofit senior living community, Meadow Lakes is committed to enhancing daily life. That means reinvesting in the things that matter most, like dining, wellness, lifelong learning, and the natural spaces that make it all possible.
