Excellent Healthcare to Keep You Independent

For many, one of the draws of a continuing care retirement community like Cadbury Senior Lifestyles, Cherry Hill, is the knowledge that one day when you need help to maintain your independence, you can do so in a community that supports your every want and need – dining, events, health care services, socialization, and more, all under one roof.  

One way that Cadbury residents stay healthy is by taking advantage of the on-site medical resources. Residents can stop by the physician’s office for their annual wellness check up on their way to exercise, shop or dine. In addition to the resources available to the independent residents, Cadbury’s health care offerings include assisted living and a skilled nursing center, all overseen by Dr. Anita Chopra, Cadbury’s medical director and her team of geriatricians who specialize in the care of older adults. 

In addition to serving as Cadbury’s medical director, Dr. Chopra is a Professor of Medicine at the Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine, Director of the New Jersey Institute for Successful Aging, and the William J. Rohrer Endowed Chair in Geriatrics. Dr. Chopra’s impressive résumé has one main focus. Dr. Chopra stated, “We want to make sure that older adults maintain their function and independence as long as possible.     

How does she help seniors stay active and independent? Dr. Chopra focuses on overall well-being, not just one aspect of health. “It’s clearly been shown that people who exercise on a regular basis, maintain their social interaction, stay mentally active and are optimistic can age better.”

Dr. Chopra praised Cadbury Senior Lifestyles, Cherry Hill’s health care offerings, saying, “We really value our relationship with Cadbury because they offer a very nice continuum of services.
