Pequannock Township is a township in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 15,420, reflecting an increase of 1,652 (+11.9%) from the 13,888 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 1,044 (+8.1%) from the 12,844 counted in the 1990 Census.The name "Pequannock", as used in the name of the Township and of the Pequannock River, is thought to have been derived from the Lenni Lenape Native American word "Paquettahhnuake", meaning "cleared land ready or being readied for cultivation". Pompton has been cited by some sources to mean "a place where they catch soft fish".New Jersey Monthly ranked Pequannock Township as the "Best Bang for the Buck" in New Jersey and 9th overall in its 2011 edition of "Best Places to Live" in New Jersey. It was then ranked 14th overall in the 2013 edition of "Best Places to Live". In the 2015 edition of "Best Places to Live" in New Jersey, Pequannock ranked 4th overall.

I would recommend my neighborhood in Pompton Plains, NJ for elderly friends and family because it is a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment that prioritizes the needs and well-being of its senior residents. Our community has a strong sense of togetherness and values inter generational connections, with various programs and activities designed to engage and integrate seniors into our neighborhood. It even has a senior living center.
We have well-maintained parks and green spaces, with benches and walking paths that provide easy access for seniors to enjoy nature and get some exercise, like Greenview Park. Our community also has a range of local businesses and services, such as pharmacies, grocery stores, and medical clinics, which are conveniently located and accessible for seniors who may have mobility or transportation limitations. CVS makes pharmacy delivers also.
Moreover, our neighborhood has a history of active volunteerism and social advocacy, with many opportunities for seniors to participate in community events and give back to society. From cultural festivals to charity drives, seniors can find meaningful ways to connect with their neighbors and contribute to the community. It's food pantry helps many every month.
Overall, I believe that the Pompton Plains/Pequannock community would be an ideal place for elderly friends and family to live, as it offers a supportive and fulfilling environment that promotes a high quality of life for seniors.
