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."

"The community that stood out to me was Juniper Village at Chatham. It was gorgeous. It was very classy and very well maintained. The amenities and seating areas were lovely, but it was way out of our price range. If we could have afforded, that's where I would send my father. The staff who gave the tour was extremely helpful and delightful, but she wouldn't be the one interacting with my father. The place was very clean."

"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."

"I toured Sunrise of Morris Plains, and I liked it very, very much. It's a beautiful facility. The people were lovely, and the pricing, I thought, was very fair for assisted living. It was more accommodating for skilled nursing and for what my mother needed. The staff was very helpful. It was very bright and airy, and it was a great and convenient location. The rooms were really beautiful. I loved the design of the rooms. They were somewhat different, but I really liked the design of the rooms. They had a window on each apartment that opened out into the hall. The facility was really nice. They had like a roll in shower and a nurse's station with one nurse onsite."

"My sister was a resident of CareOne at Parsippany Assisted Living. It's very well-kept and very clean. It's very bright. There's a lot of windows in their facility. All the rooms from the main first floor have several large windows where people go to eat, talk, and do different events like games and bingo and things like that. The staff was very caring, hands-on, and professional. As for the activities, there are a number of them. Every day they have at least one thing, if not multiple things. She told me the food was really good and healthy. They gave you options."

"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 visited Brighton Gardens of Mountainside. They were wonderful there. I very much enjoyed the visit, and I would recommend that facility to anybody looking for a place. I like the friendliness of the staff; they were just outstanding. And the facility itself was clean. The food looked like it was a great availability to the residents there. As far as the activities are concerned, they're nice, but my mother wouldn't be participating in much of that. Although, what they have available was very, very nice."

"Brookdale West Orange was very nice. I liked everything about it. The staff who assisted me during the tour was very thorough, very nice, and did a great follow-up. We went to see the room to see what it was like, and it was very nice."

"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."

"Brighton Gardens of West Orange was fabulous. However, the rates were kind of bad if you needed help. The only thing I had a problem with was the extra $4,000 a month if Mom needed assistance with taking a shower. I liked everything else about it. I loved the whole thing. I toured the memory care. The lady took me through and showed me everything. The other thing I had a problem with was they have two cats. The restaurant was gorgeous. The common areas, too. They would go outside and the grounds were beautiful. They have a place where they could do the gardening right there. The whole thing was just beautiful. I thought it was gorgeous. It was near a hospital so that's a very good location and it's not in a busy street."

"My brother & sister-in-law moved to Green Hill about 9 months ago. Both of them are treated very well. The staff , the nurses, care givers & management cannot do enough to make them feel loved. I recommend Green Hill highly."

"Sunrise of Westfield was very nice, but the pricing structure is just way too high. I like the staff there. It was a great group of people, outgoing, and very attentive to the residents. The rooms were very nice."

"Sunrise of West Essex was beautiful. It was a little smaller, but it was very pretty. The staff, as soon as you walked in, was very nice and welcoming to me. What I did like was that they had different stations for a memory care patient to interact with. They had a section where you could learn to use a typewriter or you could learn to take care of babies. It felt good to know that they were able to keep them busy. They separated the nonmobile to some of the memory care patients who were further along. Right now where my mom is, they only have one or two nurses, so they spend so much time with the people who are not mobile. I like that they separated them a little bit so everybody got the care they needed. It was very quaint. They had a nice courtyard. It's a little quieter."
