Assisted Living Communities in Kearny, NJ

"Coterie Hudson Yards is very nice, but it's very expensive. I went on a tour of their assisted living and the rooms are beautiful, the staff is very friendly, and the food is wonderful. It's almost like a restaurant-type atmosphere where you can order drinks with all types of food and entertainment. You have the piano player going while you're eating. The people are polite and professional. I also had a meal with them. They have a wonderful menu and a chef right on the premises. Their rooms are not shared, but they also accommodate couples. They take the residents on tours down to Manhattan and go to different places and different restaurants. It's a wonderful place."

"My mom, now 94, was a resident of Amber Court in the memory care floor for 3 years. We found the administration and staff at every level to be caring, professional and cooperative as mom's needs changed during that period. Transitioning a loved one from home to a new environment can be difficult on all parties. There's no greater peace of mind than knowing that your loved one is well cared for when you can't be there, We greatly appreciate that Amber Court afforded us that advantage. The administrator and nursing director were always responsive to our concerns and requests, the front desk always provided a warm welcome, and the aides, kitchen team and activities coordinators showed kindness and maintained their good humor even in the face of Mom's sometimes challenging behavior as her Alzheimer's progressed. Perhaps most comforting, we always had the sense that Mom was treated as an individual, not "one more resident/patient." While we had to move Mom to skilled nursing care elsewhere as things progresses, we'll be forever grateful for the years at Amber Court. "

"Mira Vie at Clifton is a fairly new place. It's got assisted living and memory care, but I was there primarily dealing with memory care. The place is new. It had a very attractive modern look. I had one person who went with me and she was excellent. She knew what she was talking about and I thought she presented the facility in a very honest and useful manner. The dining area looks attractive, but I didn't eat anything there. I visited there in the afternoon. People were interacting with each other, but I didn't see anything formal going on. I liked the facility. It was perfectly clean."

"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."

"Sunrise of Edgewater was well maintained and and had friendly staff. They were very helpful and answered all my questions. The dining area looked fine. They have exercise classes, memory games, and outdoor areas."

"Atria West 86 was wonderful. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and gave a lot of their time. I appreciated it. I like the location in particular. Most of the rooms overlook the Hudson, and it's half a block away from a lovely park. It was very nice. I felt like I met all of the administrators, and everyone, including the cleaning people whom I happened to bump into in the elevator or wherever, were all very friendly and welcoming. I had lunch there and it was very nice. It's a very old building. It used to be a hotel at one time, and then changes were made. It was very clean."

"I went to The Veranda Assisted Living. When they showed me the rooms and how they renovated certain things, it looked good. At first, I saw people like they were under the influence of alcohol. According to the state law, they cannot stop them from going out of the building, but if they are drinking in the building, then they're going to get penalized. When I was going in, I saw some people drinking, but they were standing outside. When I spoke to the manager, she said they could go out and they could drink, but they cannot use it in the building. The building was clean. They're doing a lot of renovations. They showed me the place where they're eating. It was nice and neat. They said they are doing renovation, floor by floor, coming down, so the whole building is going to be renovated eventually, and it looks good. The manager was helpful. The dining area was nice and clean. They said they have activities for them. They have special therapy, too."

"My husband moved into Sunrise at East 56th. The place is gorgeous. The care is very empathetic and professional. I couldn't be happier. The food is delicious. They have a variety of activities. They have a lot of music, singing, walking, arts, and crafts. The rooms are beautiful. They are very accessible, and they listen to you. They are concerned about the family's needs."

"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."

"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."

"I don’t normally fill these out but I’ve been truly touched by the way Sunrise welcomed my godfather during his first day. When we arrived, we were greeted by a warm a Welcome Home banner that immediately made the place feel like a caring family environment. In addition to that, there was a thoughtful welcome gift waiting in their room, its the small gestures that spoke volumes about the attention to detail and genuine care here. Neil personally made sure every part of the day was smooth and reassuring, answering all our questions with kindness and empathy. We also met Nia, she was so gentle and kind in her approach when speaking to him and creating his personalized plan. He told us he felt so special his first day. It’s comforting to know that my loved one is not only in good hands but also in a place that feels like home from the very first moment."

"I toured Atria Cranford this past week. Everyone was very professional, very kind and friendly. The rooms were very spacious. The dining area was very nice and large. The entire place was very cozy, clean, very nice, and welcoming. Parking was very easy. They have a very spacious parking area for family and friends. When I went to Atria, it was so nice, I just knew it was home."
