Residents near the proposed CareOne memory-care expansion on Inman Avenue urged the council to oppose the project at upcoming votes, citing ongoing state fines at other CareOne sites, heavy traffic, a proposed 55-decibel generator and potential property-value declines.

The zoning board held a lengthy Whispering Woods hearing on CareOne’s revised memory‑care project at 1350 Inman Ave. Experts presented traffic, acoustical and planning reports; residents raised concerns about traffic, generator noise, tree removal and prior management; litigation counsel warned of a potential $40M damage exposure if the settlement is rejected.

After hours of testimony from experts and dozens of residents, the Edison Zoning Board did not approve a settlement that would allow CareOne to build a 114-unit memory-care building at 1350 Inman Ave. The proposal prompted sustained public opposition about traffic, noise, and neighborhood impact; litigation in federal court remains unresolved.
