Assisted Living Communities in Florham Park, NJ

"Corinne was very knowledgeable and guided us through the many living options and variable prices of this new community. She listened to what our specific needs were. She has followed up with several emails to see if she could further assist us, without making it feel like a high pressured sales pitch-which it certainly wasn’t. This community won’t be available till Dec/Jan so. O final decision has been made."

"Everyone at Juniper Village at Chatham was helpful and I saw the entire place. It's very good. I would definitely go there. I know people who have gone there and they're really happy with the food, the service, the clientele, the activities that they have, and pretty much everything. It's very well known. I also know people in the assisted living and memory care and they're also very happy with it. I have eaten there, it's very good, and it's presented really nicely. It's almost like going to a very nice restaurant. Everyone is dressed and there's no odor, just a nice aroma from the food in the cafeteria. They're very accommodating, and I was very impressed with them. Their amenities are very nice, they bring in entertainment for the residents, and they do whatever it takes to get them there."

"I am so grateful to Sunrise of Summit and the team. Mom and I researched many places and Summit Sunrise felt most like home. Mom is very independent , creative, fun and an amazing artist and oftentimes shy to display her work. Sunrise created an art show featuring mom and other resident artists. The champagne event was well attended and was a huge boost to Mom who is looking forward to the next opportunity to display her work and collaborate with like minded residents. Mom has blossomed socially and smiling all the time Prior to Sunrise, Mom lived alone and then with me and especially with COVID, was feeling understandably very isolated. I could have never imagined how important it was to be with a community of peers and social opportunities. Because the community is new, her apartment is modern and chic-just like Mom. The staff maintains her room and does laundry etc which Mom loves (I did not think she would). I can’t thank the staff and community enough for creating such a wonderful environment for Mom Mom has her tribe!"

"Spring Hills has exceptional activities staff. Speaking as a family member of a resident in the memory care section, known as Spring Cottage, I can say that the activities staff are incredible. They provide physical activity such as chair yoga and group exercise, as well as involve the Spring Cottage residents in events, BBQs, and other activities held in the community. They are really incredible at keeping them engaged! Well done."

"The people at Sunrise of Morris Plains were very pleasant and welcoming during my tour. The place was very nice. The rooms were nice and clean as well. They were doing puzzles and they have beauty salons. Their residents were out and about and not just in their rooms and that was very good. "

"I visited CareOne at Parsippany Assisted Living. They had more activities when I went there, but their problem is that their bedroom is only four by five square feet. The rooms were very small. It's attractive for three things. Number one, it's cheaper, but the room is smaller, and if you don't have money that's what you choose. So, that's a good thing. Number two is more activity. The third one is that they help the tenant sell their belongings. They also have storage space and charge $10 a month for it. They help them sell what they don't want and the money goes to the tenant, so that's a big plus, because it's not an easy job. The director was nice."

"I toured the Sunrise of Mountain Lakes. It's a new place in New Jersey and I looked at their assisted living. I liked everything about it. My sister is in a wheelchair and the facility is large so I think it would accommodate her better. She has a larger wheelchair and the apartments there has a lot more room to move around when you're in it. If you need the Hoyer lift, that's available there too. There's also room in the living room and the bedroom to be able to use the Hoyer lift. She doesn't need one right now, but if any time she needs it, it will be available. The bathroom has a large shower, enough that you could get a wheelchair in there to transfer the person onto a seat. In the kitchenette area, you can pull right up to the sink to wash your hands or wash a cup. They accommodate people a lot better there and everything is more accessible to people who are in a wheelchair. The whole place is new and the person that I spoke to was very accommodating as far as giving me information and showing me around. The day I was there, there was a fire alarm that went off and they were all apologetic. I said, "Oh, no. I'm happy and this is perfect because I can see how you take care of your people here." They were really quick and were able to make sure everyone was safe. What happened was there was a problem in the laundry room but it was very nice to see that all the employees were everywhere right away. Certain things came down to block the people so that they don't go wandering off during a fire drill. I felt that it was very educational for me. I did not make an appointment so when I walked in, I asked the girl at the reception desk if I could speak to this person. When that person came out, she said my name right away and said, "Thank you for coming all the way up from Florida" like she knew who I was. It was also not one of those things where I had to wait a few minutes and have her look me up before she came out to greet me. I thought that was very nice."

"I went to Brighton Gardens, and I liked it. It was pretty; it looked like a hotel. I liked the activities they have for seniors; I liked the fact that they brought them out to malls and places they want to go. I liked the convenience of having all the doctors in one place. The people who worked there seemed quite attentive. Most of the residents liked it there. They also brought in guest lectures, and I thought that was pretty cool. "

"Brookdale West Orange was good. The place was being renovated when we visited because it was just taken over by Brookdale. Some rooms needed upgrading, and they were doing that. It was clean, and kept well. This facility was smaller than the other facility we visited. The manager who gave us the tour was very professional, and followed up with us several times. He even went to visit mom at the rehab center just to check on her. They mentioned they also have the memory care unit. This facility has a homey atmosphere. "

"I liked Mira Vie at Montville very much out of all the ones that I've seen. It was very warm and inviting. The staff was very friendly and it pretty much had everything that my mom would need. The facilities were very, very clean. It's not a brand new facility but everything seems to be well-maintained and very spacious. The lady who gave the tour was very good, too."

"Sunrise Senior Living has very cheery staff, they're professional and warm. I was very impressed. The place was beautifully decorated and clean. They have a nice setup in the lobby. I'd recommend this facility to others. "

"For anyone who needs to find QUALITY care for their loved one in the West Essex / northern NJ area, please - for the sake of your loved one AND you - just go straight to Green Hill. My father was neglected and almost died in another area facility. He was transferred to Green Hill and is doing so much better. They know how to deal with dementia patients - with dignity, respect and true medical care, even during this year of pandemic. The staff is considerate and friendly, the food is good, and their standards during the pandemic are at par with hospital level - and I know, because my husband works at a hospital. The facility looks like, and we learned, was a former hotel/respite site during the 1940s. The inside is spacious, and with social distancing, that's a GOOD thing. My father is limited in his activity level due to his dementia, but our visits have been SO encouraging. We almost lost my father, so believe me when I tell you, this facility was divine intervention."

"Sunrise of Westfield is literally right down the street from me. I always admire how beautiful it is. The people in it are unbelievable. They're great and very good to my mother. They treat her really well, and we're very happy with this place. Every time I go there, they're doing things with her. It is very nice. Everybody there is wonderful. "

"My Grandma moved into this community in December 2023. My family and I are so pleased with our expiernece at Sunrise. She lives in the memory care neighborhood. The staff is caring and treats all the patients well and works to keep them busy. My grandma enjoys doing flower arranging and basic tasks to keep her up and bust throughout her days. I would recommend Sunrise West Essex to all !!"
