Innovative and Engaging Activities For Seniors in Princeton NJ

Town Square Princeton rethinks the typical adult day care model, offering a wholly unique slate of services and activities to New Jersey senior citizens backed by pioneering brain research.

From the first glance, you can tell our facility and approach are totally different from the norm. Our location replicates the look and feel of a 1950s American small town – it’s key to our schedule of special programming, which is based on the revolutionary model of reminiscence therapy first introduced by the George G. Glenner Alzheimer’s Family Centers.

Our fully trained and certified staff guide our members through a full day of activities and events designed to bring memories to the surface, strengthen social bonds, and enrich lives.

Our trained care providers and program assistants are always present with our members. At Town Square Princeton, our staff facilitates a fully-realized reminiscence experience, helping our members tour each of the authentic retro-style recreation areas we offer.

    Services, Events, and Activities

    The changing daily schedule of activities we host is built with quality care in mind. We work hard to offer something for members of any background or interest.

    Each of our thirteen “storefronts” detailed below runs a different calendar of activities. These themed rooms replicate a public place that was important to the communal life of a small town in the 1950s. Our Certified Activity Director and program assistants plan and lead all of our programming for a fresh, beneficial experience each time.

    Reminiscence and Engagement

    All of our programming is designed to be accessible, entertaining, and stimulating for people of varying physical and cognitive abilities. Individuals who are living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, and other clinical memory difficulties, have been proven to benefit from reminiscence therapy. And anyone will enjoy conversing with peers, engaging remembrance, and a changing activity roster.

    Memory Care

    For those experiencing memory loss or cognitive decline, memory care can provide an incredible improvement in quality of life. Our modes of care acknowledge any memory difficulties our members may experience, while focusing on their strengths.

    We work to forge connections with our members no matter what their abilities are. Our whole staff is extensively trained in techniques like active listening and understanding what it’s like to live with dementia. They will always respond to our members graciously and in a way that affirms them as fellow human beings. This approach is proven to increase socialization and personal fulfillment and decrease stress.

    Reminiscence Therapy

    In the late 20th century, medical science discovered people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia retain memories from the formative years of their personalities – from their late teens through early twenties. Experiences from this time hold strong significance even to people with more advanced forms of dementia.

    At Town Square Princeton, our genuine 1950s environment is carefully designed to evoke the young adult years of today’s senior citizens. We work to craft a full sensory experience with period objects, music, films, and other cultural items, allowing our members to engage and open up about this critical time in their lives. Dementia still has no cure, but this approach has been shown to ease symptoms such as apathy, agitation, and nighttime restlessness.

    Welcome to Our Storefronts!

    It’s immediately apparent when you enter Town Square Princeton – we’re different from the ground up. Our themed activity areas all work together to create an immersive experience that transports our members back to the 1950s and provides them an array of engaging activities.

    Our open floor plan is perfect for daily group exercise as well as large movement or active games. The space includes technology to supplement programming or for cueing. The Health Club is also used for Physical and Occupational Therapy Services.

    Our 1950s living room and kitchen space offers an intimate gathering space, rich with opportunities to revisit mid-century family time.

    The Best of the ‘50s Silver Screen

    The Starlite Theater is always running clips from classic films, TV shows, and musicals from the 1950s. These inspire reminiscing conversations about great moments and stars as we talk about the works of legendary stars like Cary Grant, Sidney Poitier, Lucille Ball, John Wayne, Catherine Hepburn, Jack Lemmon, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

    Keeping Minds Healthy

    Our multipurpose educational space offers multimedia learning opportunities and scheduled classes. All our Learning Center programming is geared towards stimulating thinking and inspiring lifelong learning and curiosity.

    The Sound of the ‘50s

    Music is an important sense memory for just about everyone – and it’s all the more so for our members. We use musical activities as a key part of our reminiscence therapy. At Music & Memories we engage in sing-alongs, Name That Tune trivia, drum circles, instrument playing, or simply music appreciation.

    Think of It, Then Make It

    Our therapeutic arts and crafts space offers programming that builds creative thinking skills and manual dexterity. We work in a variety of mediums and always proudly display the latest works by our members.
