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 Care Model and How It Works
We are a complete provider of senior enrichment and care. Our highly qualified leadership team includes advisory clinicians and healthcare professionals. 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.
When you or your loved one make your first visit to Town Square Princeton, we’ll provide a free assessment of needs and abilities, which may include memory conditions and physical health and mobility. With this in mind, we can ensure all our members are engaged in a healthful way.
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.
Town Square Princeton offers full days, scheduled 9:00-5:00. Our services are private pay, but may be covered by various forms of long-term care insurance or other benefits. You can contact us or consult our staff in person – we are happy to evaluate your payment options and advise you about any benefits that may cover our services.

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.
