Simpson Meadows Retirement Community

LewisRon87

A good friend of mine was a resident at Simpson Meadows for about 5 years. It was good until the director retired. Now there is a clown running a circus(literally). The new director is beyond unprofessional, I’m not even sure how he got that position. I get the feeling that he does not genuinely care about the residents. Every time I have interacted with staff, they were rushing around, stressed and upset. (Lack of staff is a huge issue here).. Simpson Meadows guarantees assistance with whatever the resident needs, but there are 15 residents per 1 care giver which means they are not able to meet each persons needs. While visiting my friend, I witnessed this new director guy discuss an employees personal business in a hallway full of residents. 10 mins later I heard the same residents discuss this employees personal business with others!! (Other staff, & residents) I could go on and on and on… one world : UNPROFESSIONAL! please do not sent your loved ones here! Save yourself the headache

We visited Simpson Meadows Retirement Community. The person that we met there was extremely helpful and gave us a lot of good information about the facility. She gave us a tour. It looked clean and nice. It had all the amenities that my mother would need if she was staying there and the assistance that she might need for her short stay. She gave us printed information and guided us as to what we would need to do before bringing her there for her stay. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. The facility is nice enough. We toured the different living spaces that they offer like one-bedroom or studio apartment, which is all that she would need a studio. We toured the dining rooms, the library, the reading room, and TV, everything like that that they offer. We found it to be a nice enough place. They have movie night, games and things like that. We were only in contact with one person there who guided us through. She asked us about what my mother's needs are, and she gave us an overview. She gave us a tour. She was very helpful. She sent me the information that we need, like paperwork to be filled out and things like that.

The food was good, and the people were nice at Simpson Meadows. It would have been a very attractive place for me to live. The apartments were very nice. There were many choices. It was clean and in a good location too. It is near a Wegmans grocery store and the movies. The person who accommodated me was very knowledgeable. They had a luncheon for interested people and a lecture on current events. They have lectures, movies, and a fitness room. They also have a bus that takes the residents to places.

Simpson Meadows was a beautiful facility, but it's too expensive for my mother. The apartment was very clean and spacious, and they provide furniture if you don't have it. The person who showed us around was excellent and very professional. It's the nicest place we saw.

I cannot say enough good things about Simpson Meadows. My mother was in independent living (on the 3rd floor in Asbury Heights) with medication administration added on. Everyone from the office staff to the kitchen staff and especially the nursing staff, went above and beyond to make my Mom feel special. They all took wonderful care of her and genuinely loved her. She made many nice friends there but was hesitant to go to social activities so her relationship with the staff became very special to her. Sadly, she only lived there for 10 months before she passed away (she wasn't ill, she died of natural causes) but I made the best possible choice in moving her to Simpson. They made the last year of her life easier, especially her end of life care. The nursing staff went above and beyond to administer hospice care without moving her out of her apartment. The kitchen staff did way more than expected by always making sure she had meals brought to her. I personally developed very special relationships with all the staff and I will never forget the love and care they gave my Mother. I would highly recommend Simpson to anyone that is looking for special care for their loved one.

I thought Simpson Meadows was really nice, but the cost was higher and it didn't have a swimming pool. The only thing that it had -- which the other place didn't have that would have been appealing to my mother -- was that she could have chosen the amenities within her apartment. It was not really expensive; I thought it was reasonable, but it was more expensive than what we can afford. The staff was very accommodating and provided excellent follow-up. They do have activities for the residents, but they did not have a pool, and my mom will benefit by the arthritis treatment at the pool.
