The Best Assisted Living Communities in Gloucester County, NJ

"amazing team and dedication to residents is very special. Crystal in Memory Care has been so caring and kind to my Mom and my family. It is nice to see this level of care offered and we are happy about our choice for Mom,"

"Juniper Village is a beautiful place. It has a gym and has everything we need. The only thing I did not like about it was that there was no parking. My husband is in a wheelchair, and I had to park in like a strip mall that's in front of their building and push him to the building because there is no parking at all. It's very tight on the parking, and that's the only downside. They had all the amenities we needed. Their meals are like a restaurant. You can pick off a menu. It's like a big dining room. It's like going to a diner, and you order from a menu, and somebody comes to you. It's not a bunch of squares with two choices. We were there later in the afternoon. I think they're open from 11:00 to 2:00 for lunch, and I think they open again from 4:00 to 7:00 for dinner. They said that I could eat there with him, say if I wanted to come for lunch, which would be added to our bill at the end of the month. For him, it included three meals a day and snacks, but if he had guests come in they could still eat and sit at the table, order, and it would just be added to our bill. So, that's convenient. It is three stories high. It was very clean. All the staff that we passed in the hallways were very friendly."

"My brother will move into Juniper Village at Williamstown. It's a small community, but he has what he needs and is very clean. I've gone a few times there, and the residents enjoy it. They had a beautiful dining room and a nice showroom that they cleaned daily. They offer a get-to-know-your-patient kind of environment. I didn't see any residents in the hallways leaning against the wall like I had seen in the other places. They're very friendly, and every time I called, they answered me right away. I've been there two times, but they knew me by first name, which is comforting."

"I went to look at Brookdale Echelon Lake. I liked that my sister would have her own room and a little bathroom. She will sit at a dining table and gets to choose what she wants to eat. It has a better atmosphere. She doesn't sit in her room all day. She can move around. It's on the first floor. They provide assistance. They have nurses. The staff members were all very nice. It seems like there is a pleasant and quiet atmosphere there. The facility was clean. It's set up on a lake, which is nice. You could go outside. It seemed to be organized. It's a secured building. You can't just walk in."

"We toured Spring Oak Assisted Living of Berlin. It was very open, bright, and well lit. There's natural lighting and welcoming staff at the front. Just knowledgeable. It's a very upkept facility. There were a lot of nice amenities for the residents. They had a movie area for them. Just the community that was there, and the way it was explained to us, it was a very home-feeling there. They did what they could to promote everything that the residents did to support the facility. They were more proud to talk about the residents than about the staff. It was a very nice facility. The staff members were really helpful. Even as we talked about our specific situation with my mother-in-law, they helped us in ways that we weren't even asking for help, and gave us recommendations on how to handle the situation we were in. They're very kind, caring people."

"My mom has been a resident for three years now, and I couldn’t be happier! First, the rooms are beautiful, clean, and very spacious. Maintenance does a wonderful job daily, of coming in and keeping the rooms clean, and waste bins emptied. The residents have access to a Beautiful lounge, movie theater, exercise area, TV area, art area, etc. Each room is beautifully decorated, and clean. Now I would like to talk about the staff. There’s always someone at the front desk as you walk in, who is always there to help you with any needs or questions you have. The aids are very dedicated to their job, and work very hard. I have seen them with patience, kindness, and caring, on a daily basis. ( and I am there frequently). The nurses go above and beyond, and are always quick to answer any question, or any need you have. Everyone there is very compassionate, caring, and professional! I would highly recommend this place to anyone, who is looking to put their parent, or a loved one in a place, to get the care, of being in their own home. I can’t say enough, to express the gratitude, and appreciation, I have for the staff, for treating my mother with dignity and respect, in her senior years"

"A friend of mine is a resident of Brookdale Evesham, so I go there every other week. We also toured the assisted living for my brother-in-law. It's very clean and they do lots of various things. Every day they have all kinds of activities. They interact so that the residents aren't alone in their rooms. Even if they're non-cognitive, they want them to be at least out in the public area so that they can see other people, and it's not like they're in senior jail. The staff members have been very nice when I go up at the front. The various different ones at the front desk don't know my name, but when they see my face, we say our hellos. They don't want guests coming into the dining room when the residents are in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If the residents are having some family members over, they have a separate little side room that they let them go and sit in if they want privacy. There's only so much seating, and they can have it for maybe two hours. My brother-in-law is still doing his own things, like his pills and showers, but they have people there who would come to help if he needs it. They also said that if you need more care and go from independent to assisted, you don't have to be moved to another wing or to another floor. You could still be in that room, and they would have it set up so that they would come to you, which is also very nice."

"We toured Atria Center City. When I walked in it was very clean, and the people were very nice. I was introduced to someone who would show us around. It was me and my aide. He took us all over the place. It's a large place, and everything is nice and beautiful. They told me that if I got a place there my sister would be on the third floor. They had two units, and one was very large. They had a bed there. The only thing that was missing in that unit was a chair. It had a microwave, cooking stove, refrigerator, and lots of closet space. The other room was smaller, but higher than the one I chose for my sister. He said it was seven hundred and seven a month, but the one that I chose for my sister was four something a month, but due to the fact that my sister needs special care, that would be an extra three thousand, he said, and I couldn't afford it."

"I liked everything about Fountain View at Logan Square. The location was fantastic. They have a parking garage. The rooms were a nice size. They had a washer and dryer in the room. The rent was a little expensive, but the facilities were nice and clean. The person who took us around was wonderful. He knew his business. A couple of the other people we met were very good. I liked Fountain View. The food looked very appetizing. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and they seemed to know the people that they passed in the hallway. They were friendly, and they knew about other facilities. They tell you, "You should try this one," or "Did you go there?" The atmosphere was very nice. Some of the residents I saw knew each other."

"Chestnut Ridge seemed a little bit dated, but the rooms they had were bigger. If I had the means, I would have my dad there. It's a comfortable place. The dining area was nice. Melissa was excellent. They showed me their calendar of activities, which includes going out once a week to different restaurants or the casino. That was nice. When I was there, some people were waiting for a gentleman that came to sing to all of them."

"My mother has moved into Springfield Crossings. She is doing very well. The staff members are awesome. We love them. She is in a newly renovated room, so it's nice. We're having some issues getting some maintenance done. As far as the facility itself, it's a bit older. It needs some work. The dining area is set up like a restaurant. I have not tried the meals, but my mother loves the food. They have lots of different activities. I think she has participated in some of them. They have bingo, music, movies, and crafts. They're right off the highway, so it's secure. It's reasonably priced."

"Symphony Square was beautiful, it was a lovely place. The director was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. She showed us the rooms and the dining area. The dining area was beautiful, they had silverware and glass and not plastics. They take care of the residents and it's actually a more intimate community which is very nice. They were all lovely people. They have karaoke nights, arts and crafts, they paint together, and there were a lot of cognitive therapy that they do that are fun stuff. They also take the residents on outings. We saw them doing karaoke when we showed up, and everyone looked happy participating. It was also a combination of assisted living and memory care, so everyone got to participate in it."

"My mom will move into CareOne at Evesham. The facility was clean and modern. The rooms were a good size. The director was very personable to residents there, knew everyone's name, and greeted everyone as we walked around the facility. CareOne is very good at communication."

"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY BRUNCH HERE AT CAMBRIDGE. SUCH A SWEET AFFAIR. EVERYONE HERE IS SO CARING. YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE WAY INTERACT WITH THE REDIDENTS. I SO VERY MUCH APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THEY DO FOR MY MOM!"
