One fee, everything handled

Your monthly program fee covers it all.

No surprise bills and no separate utility accounts. One predictable monthly program fee bundles your housing and the services that keep the residence running smoothly — so you can focus on living your life. Every resident signs a written residency agreement that spells out rights, responsibilities, and house standards up front.

✅ What AuraBridge is

  • An independent living residence
  • Program-based, with a written residency agreement
  • A supportive, respectful community

⚠️ What it isn't

  • Not an assisted living or medical facility
  • Staff do not store or administer medication
  • No on-site nursing or personal care

Included in your program fee

  • Private, furnished-ready living space
  • All utilities — water, power, heat & internet
  • Key & keyless building and room entry
  • 24/7 security-camera monitoring of common areas
  • Program services & community coordination
  • Shared, well-maintained common areas

Program fees are due on the 1st of each month. Residents live independently — managing their own daily activities, finances, and self-administered medications — under the terms of a written residency agreement.

Simple, all-inclusive pricing

Everything you need to live comfortably is bundled into a single, predictable monthly program fee.

Both tiers are all-inclusive — housing, all utilities, secure entry, monitored common areas, and program services in one predictable payment.

  • No separate utility bills. Water, power, heat, and internet are all included.
  • Simple move-in cost. Move-in is your first month’s program fee plus a refundable $500 security deposit — held in an interest-bearing account and returned after move-out (less any damages or unpaid fees), as required by New Jersey law. No large buy-in and no last-month prepayment.
  • Income sources welcome. Employment, Social Security/SSDI, pension, disability/VA benefits, and family support are all accepted.
  • What’s not included: your own groceries and meals, personal toiletries and laundry detergent, phone and personal subscriptions, transportation, medications, and personal-property insurance. Optional add-ons where available — private-room upgrade, meal plan, extra storage, or transportation help — just ask.

Questions & answers

Good to know before you apply.

How much does it cost?

Rooms are all-inclusive: a shared room is $950/month and private rooms start at $1,250/month. That single fee covers housing, all utilities, secure entry, and program services. Move-in is your first month’s fee plus a refundable $500 security deposit (held and returned per New Jersey law); there is no buy-in or last-month prepayment. Everything is disclosed before you sign your residency agreement.

Is AuraBridge an assisted living facility?

No. AuraBridge is an independent living residence. Residents live independently and handle their own daily activities. Staff do not store, distribute, or supervise medication, and there is no on-site medical or nursing care.

Is this a lease? What are my rights as a resident?

You sign a written residency agreement that clearly sets out your rights, responsibilities, the monthly fee, house standards, and the terms for ending your residency. We'll walk you through it in full before you sign, and your residency is governed by that agreement and applicable law.

Can I tour or visit before applying?

Yes. We're happy to arrange a visit so you can see the residence and ask questions. Call (862) 350-4913 or submit the intake form and mention you'd like a tour.

Do I need to pass a background or credit check?

With your written authorization we complete a standard credit and background screening. Any criminal-history review is conducted only as permitted by the New Jersey Fair Chance in Housing Act — generally after a conditional offer — and is assessed fairly and individually, never as an automatic disqualifier.

How is my personal information handled?

We collect only what admissions requires and handle it under our Privacy Policy. We don't sell your information, we store it securely, and you can ask how it's stored or request deletion. Keyless-entry access records are used only for building security.

What happens after I submit the intake form?

Our admissions coordinator reviews your form and reaches out to confirm details, answer questions, and walk you through the background check and residency agreement. Submitting the form does not obligate you to anything.
