Woodbridge Developmental Center was a facility located in Avenel, New Jersey, that provided care and support for individuals with developmental disabilities. It was part of the state-run system of developmental centers aimed at offering specialized services and residential care for those with significant needs. Due to efforts aimed at deinstitutionalization and promoting community-based living, Woodbridge Developmental Center was closed in 2014 as part of New Jersey’s plan to transition individuals into more integrated and less restrictive environments. The closure was aligned with broader trends across the United States to move away from large institutional settings towards more personalized and community-focused care solutions. As a result, former residents were relocated to various community living arrangements where they could receive more tailored support.
