Byron and Alice Magnin’s decision to retire at Seabrook, an Erickson Senior Living community in Tinton Falls, N.J., was influenced by more than just the community’s amenities. Their son, Brian Magnin, serves as Seabrook’s facilities manager, and their daughter-in-law, Melanie Magnin, works as the community’s trips coordinator. The couple moved to Seabrook in July 2024, drawn by the one-level, maintenance-free homes and the glowing recommendations from their family and friends.
“Seabrook offers a vibrant, engaging lifestyle, so it’s no surprise that our employees want their family members to live here!” says Sales Director Brian Cassidy. “Plus, as a staff member, you personally know the people who are caring for residents every day. There’s comfort in knowing they are providing great care for their family members.”
Brian and Melanie have both enjoyed long careers at Seabrook and have seen firsthand how the amenities and services offered at the community benefit residents’ lives. When they learned Byron and Alice were researching retirement communities, they brought sales materials home to help them learn more.
Byron and Alice were very receptive. “We wanted all of our living space to be on one level. We wanted to find a place where we would be comfortable getting around and not have to worry about upkeep,” explains Alice, who was drawn to Seabrook’s one-level, maintenance-free homes.
Alice and Byron also had their own wonderful experiences with the community. Byron had spent seven enjoyable years working in Seabrook’s security department before he retired in 2016. Alice, a former nurse, often referred patients to Seabrook as part of the care management process. “I knew from my professional background that Seabrook was the best choice in Monmouth County,” she says.
Now, they savor made-to-order meals at the different restaurants on campus and take strolls around the beautifully landscaped grounds. The couple also enjoys having convenient access to a state-of-the-art fitness center and indoor swimming pool with lap lanes. Byron, who joined the woodworking club, is making his mark on Seabrook through his craftsmanship. Alice visits the community’s outpatient therapy office several times a week for physical therapy.
“The therapists are phenomenal!” she shares. “I’ve been to other PTs outside of the community, and the therapists at Seabrook truly are the best.”
Brian is happy his parents found the perfect home for them, but what he’s most grateful for is that they are enjoying the vibrant, worry-free retirement they’ve always wanted. “Seabrook is the perfect place for my parents to enjoy life. Everything they need is right here,” he says. “I sleep better at night because I know that anything that they could possibly need is provided here at Seabrook. I know the team is going to take care of them. To me, that’s priceless.”
