   Parker at Monroe, a long-term care living community for the aged in Monroe Township, was recently honored with a 2016 New Good Neighbor Award from the New Jersey Business & Industry Association (NJBIA) and New Jersey Business magazine.
   NJBIA President and CEO Michele Siekerka and NJBIA Board of Trustees Chairman Matt Wright presented the award to Roberto Muniz, president & CEO of Parker at Monroe, during the 56th Annual New Good Neighbor Awards reception on July 15.
   ”The projects honored with this award have demonstrably improved New Jersey’s business landscape and the quality of life in our communities,” Siekerka said. “The companies whose hard work and vision created these award-winning projects truly are New Good Neighbors because they invest in their communities, create jobs, and provide valuable products and services.”
   Parker at Monroe, which opened in late 2014 and employs 200 healthcare workers, features living spaces and programs designed to promote independence, dignity, and a sense of community. The elderly residents receive personalized nursing care in a home-like environment, instead of the institutional setting that characterizes most nursing homes.
   At Parker at Monroe, there are six “small homes” connected to a large community center. Sixteen residents with similar healthcare needs live in each of the small homes, which offer private or semi-private bedroom suites and specially designed bathrooms to support mobility. The homes have a common living room, with an oversized fireplace, a kitchen, dining room and outdoor gardens to provide a family-style atmosphere for socializing.
   The project was designed by Spiezle Architectural Group, of Trenton, and the primary builder was Irwin & Leighton Commercial Builders, of Trenton. Monroe Township Mayor Gerald Tamburro nominated Parker at Monroe for the New Good Neighbor Award.
   Presented annually by NJBIA and New Jersey Business magazine, the New Good Neighbor Awards recognize the best and most exciting renovations, expansions and new developments in the state. Fourteen winners were chosen this year by an independent panel of judges based on economic benefit and job creation, architectural merit and community involvement.
   ”This year, 25 projects that comprised $527 million in development investments were nominated for New Good Neighbor Awards. Collectively, these projects provided 3,200 construction jobs and created 3,121 full-time and part-time jobs. All of the projects played an important role in keeping New Jersey’s economy moving forward,” Siekerka said.
   With 20,000 members, NJBIA is the nation’s largest state-level employers association. New Jersey Business magazine is NJBIA’s flagship publication.
