Assisted Living Communities in Hillsborough, NJ

"It was very nice. It was very clean. They just remodeled it. The person that showed me around was awesome. I like that facility. Barbara was our host. She was awesome, very knowledgeable, and very in tune with the patients or members of the community. There were a lot of activities for the members. They have a backup generator, which I thought was unique and different."

"We feel that CareOne at Somerset Valley was too big of a place for what we're looking for. We just went there to look it over, and they suggested that my sister go on level one. I think it would be good for a more social person, but she isn't a very social person. It was a very nice facility, but for our needs, we're looking for something smaller. The rooms were very sufficient. They gave everyone what a person would need. It was clean, bright, and cheerful. The staff was very pleasant and very helpful with their questions. We did not try the food there, but the dining area looked very pleasant."

"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 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."

"Mira Vie at Warren was beautiful. I loved it. The people were very nice. The community was beautiful. My drawback was the demographics, because even though I'm 70, I think the people are older. I loved that they had underground parking. That was important to me, especially in New Jersey. I know I could feel comfortable there. The staff was wonderful. Everyone that I came in contact with, and also the residents, were very friendly and very welcoming. I had coffee and pastries and they were good. The common areas were gorgeous. The room was wonderful. It just didn't have enough closet space for me."

"We toured Sunrise of Basking Ridge. It's a possibility. It was very nice. They gave me a lot of information. I saw a one-bedroom; it was very big and good. The place looked nice. It was clean, and it was kept well. The dining area was clean, neat, and very nice. They have a library, a salon, and an activity room. However, there is no pool or gym."

"My mother has moved into CareOne at East Brunswick Assisted Living. She's in memory care stage one. They have four different stages and that's what's great about that community because most of the memory care facilities, they're all together. When your mother doesn't need the memory care yet and she's in the very, very early stages, it's great, because they actually do more than the assisted living people, and they're more active. The facility is absolutely beautiful, very clean, and brand new. They have so many activities to do. They're always busy, and they're never in their rooms. The food is really good. It's all buffet style, so they can pick and choose, and they're open 24 hours for snacks and all that kind of stuff. They're very well organized. They're there at the drop of the hat. If you call them or if there are any problems, they solve them quickly. I can't say enough about them. They really got it together there. My mother loves the food. They have an ice cream parlor where they all go down and have ice cream with all the amenities that you need. It's always changing, and if you didn't like anything, you can always request something. They'll see if they can accommodate you. I wouldn't call it The Ritz, but it's decent food."

"When I went here, I saw staff interacting with the residents, which I liked. I kind of felt like I had to see something like that to see how they treated the residents. They were all very friendly. The residents even said hello to me. It was a nice community. I'm leaning more towards that one only because mom has about two years to pay out of pocket, and if she's a little short, they'll work with me. That's the conversation I had with the people. I want to make sure that they would have a room for my mom when she switches over to Medicaid. They also have people in-house that I could deal with for that transition when that happens. The woman was very nice. Every question I asked her, she had an answer. When you go visit, on your way out, they give you a little box and it's something from their bakery that the chef made and this happened to be a blueberry muffin and it was delicious. I didn't save it for anyone. I ate the whole thing myself. The facility was very clean, very new, and very updated. They had beautiful flooring down. They have a hair salon, and they have certain doctors come in like podiatrists and things like that for the residents. They have their cable TV, and they try to keep them out of their rooms and involved in all kinds of little activities there, bingo, baking, stuff like that."

"The staff at Sunrise of East Brunswick is phenomenal. The meals are good. They provide everything here. I don't have to leave. They have a salon, bingo, DJs, and everything. Everything about this place is good."

"Brookdale Monroe just seemed a little big. Otherwise, it was clean. The people were friendly to everyone. The rooms were pretty much the same as the other place. The staff during the tour was very good, friendly, answered my questions, showed us around, and was very personable. They had a beauty parlor. The amenities were good."

"Amazing staff & facility . The transition for my Mother in law to the facility , from her home was so easy ! Ida , Kennedy , Elisabeth were beyond helpful , and the therapy department stepped rite in and started services quickly upon move in. I would highly recommend this facility for any Assisted Living needs ! It is a warm , caring environment that makes such a hard transition , feel seamless THANK YOU to the entire staff for being so nice !"

"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."

"Brighton Gardens of Edison was very clean and very neat. Everything was on ground level, so we didn't have to worry about any staircases or anything. It was very well lit and easily accessible. The rooms were very clean, modern, neat, and all pretty new. We went through the kitchen, and everybody who was eating there looked very happy. The staff was very nice, courteous, and professional. There was no pressure. No sales pitches. They just let us take a look and walk around."

"I have high regard for Millennium at Monroe. My wife was there 3 and 1/2 years. The staff always treated her with dignity and respect. I visited almost every day. I saw only appropriate behavior and extreme patience by the staff. They also stand out in the medical needs area. My wife obviously had some medical problems. The staff always addressed the problems, and if needed called in the right expert. They also have a highly qualified doctor that comes in and in the network of the larger insurers. The drug cost are also controlled by Millennium. I would like to give special thanks to Sarah, Maria, Edith and Lenora. They are true professionals.."
