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.

Music has always been a blessing for Mary Kay Mason. “Music has always been at the heart of my story,” said Mary Kay. “As I entered my 80’s and pondered my future, I thought I’d just take a look at what Harrogate had to offer. I took a tour and was so impressed with what I saw that I signed a contract just 10 days later. I moved in May 2025 and have been very happy with this community!"
