Assisted Living Communities in Bordentown, NJ

"It was great, and the staff was extremely helpful. The dining room was very nice. They had an activities room. It seemed like a really nice place, and that’s where I wanted my friend to go. "

"I liked that The Terraces at Lawrence is close to me because I'm the one who would be visiting my sister there. We spoke to some people and they were very friendly, and helpful, and went out of their way to try to accommodate my interest and question. Linda gave me the tour and she was great. The rooms were fine and the dining area was attractive. I especially liked the chapel that was there. I didn't see many people, but it seemed pleasantly friendly. They have games and outings to go places and movies."

"I went to look at Juniper Village at Bucks County. The bedroom was very generous. The kitchen was like a wall, and a wall, and then a partial wall that looks into the living room. So when you're in there, it's like you're in a hallway. I didn't care for that too much. I didn't like the kitchen. It's not open. It was in a wooded area. The staff seemed very nice. She had answers to your questions. She was a very positive person. She wasn't trying to persuade you, and just gave you the information that you needed. She was very helpful. I know they have a place to exercise. Everything was clean. The painting looked like it was fresh. There didn't seem anything that needed fixing. Everything seemed to be in good shape."

"We chose Oxford Crossing because of where it is located. It's a beautiful place. We're in a one-bedroom with a nice amount of space because we have some large pieces of furniture. The staff was great, and they showed us around. The food's very good. The upkeep is spotless. We haven't participated yet in many things, but they do offer different things to do. Right now we're sitting outside, there's a big overhang in the front. So it's nice. When you walk in the lobby, it's classy looking. You feel like you're walking into a fine hotel. That's what it looks like."

"We toured Holly House Senior Residence for my sister. It was clean. Everyone was friendly and informative. The staff were helpful and friendly. The place could use some updating, but it was clean. It is a nice neighborhood. The rooms that we were able to see looked adequate."

"I toured Maplewood at Princeton. It was nice, very bright, and clean. There were a lot of activities for the residents. It was like a luxurious hotel. It was beautiful. It's a nice place to be if you pick an assisted living facility. The person who took me around was very good."

"We toured Holland Village and we liked it a whole lot. We got good vibes from the person who took us around the first time. She arranged a dinner with four other people, and it happened that one of the people that we had dinner with was someone we'd known previously. We were very happy to greet her. We were pretty interested in it. We met the woman in the sales department who took us around. I thought she did a very fine job. She was very pleasant, very friendly, and very warm. We didn't interact with the staff in the dining room, and they just served us our meals. The food was good enough. I took a look in the gym and that was good. The pool was good, too, and people were using it. I saw a woman out in the corner doing a jigsaw puzzle. There wasn't much-organized activity that we were able to observe at that time, but there were certainly the facilities there for people to do any kinds of things that they were interested in like playing cards or watching movies. It seemed more in line with what we are looking for at the present time."

"I liked Spring Hills Princeton. The woman I met there was nice. She was wonderful. It seemed like a nice place. I liked the price. It's cheaper than others. The rooms were nice, too. I think they were a good size. They generally have games and outings just like the others. I thought the atmosphere was very pleasant."

"I visited Oakwood Residence for my sister. It was very nice and clean. The people were nice. I like the area; it was clean and nice. However, my sister was not qualified. The rooms were beautiful. They were remodeled. It was a beautiful place. Their dining room was very nice. They had nice table clothes. It looked like a restaurant. I would recommend Oakwood. The people seemed happy, and the facility was very nice. "

"Brookdale Northampton is a very nice place and very welcoming; it would probably be my second choice. The people were lovely. Their rooms are very nice, felt cheerful, roomy, and each one has its own bathroom. There is a therapy room and an arts and crafts room. The dining room is beautiful. "

"It's been 90% positive, so it's been good. My parents are in the assisted living right now. It's not too clinical, and they have lots of activities. The staff is friendly. Their room is really good and big enough to get my parents' king bed in the bedroom, which is what they wanted. The room is perfect and one of the things that sold us on the place. My parents say the food is somewhat institutional but very adequate. My mom partakes in some of the exercise classes. They try to get my dad to get out and join but don't pressure him too much."

"My parents chose Riverview Estates because it had all of the things that they needed and wanted. If my dad needs to be in a memory care unit, they have that. My parents have a double room because there are two of them. It has a bed area, there is another area of the room for comfortable chairs and a TV, and you are able to fit quite a bit of furniture. They have a living room on every floor. When we visited, we looked at the room, and then we went to the living room to hang out for a while, and it was very pretty. It’s not a fancy place. It’s in a historic area, and the building is historic. It’s on a river front, so they have a beautiful view of the river. It’s decorated all throughout in antiques. They have pretty lamps and pretty rugs. My parents knew that the people who worked there were very nice, kind, and caring people. They do anything that they want or need. Really good attitude with the workers. The most valuable thing that we’re finding is the care that they receive. My dad has dementia. They were keeping an eye on my dad because he wasn’t doing well. They have a doctor who comes in every Wednesday. They go and see the doctor if they need to. The doctor found that he had atrial fibrillation on top of the dementia, and that was causing him dizziness. They solved that problem with medication. He’s getting better medical care there than he was before he went in. They love the food; they give them choices. It’s like going through a restaurant 3 times a day. They serve them their big meal in the middle of the day, and then they serve somewhat smaller meals, sandwich, soup-type thing in the evening and then breakfast. They have cards and bingo, and they do have trips. They take them to Wal-Mart and the Dollar Store once a week. They go to a restaurant once a month. "

"My mom was treated excellent at Wynwood. It was a beautiful community. There's a specific section for seniors with dementia. They were very assistive. She said she had a good time. The food was fabulous. It was like a hotel. "

"I toured Mira Vie at Forsgate, and it was very nice. The director was very approachable, answered all my questions, and gave us a thorough tour. They have a patio, and it's in a kind of forest setting."
