"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."

"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."

"When the doctors at Bayshore Hospital determined that my 91 year old mother needed special care that only an assisted living facility can provide, like any son who had cared for and lived with his mother during her time of need, I was a little apprehensive. My mother has been a resident of the Millennium Memory Care in Aberdeen (recommended to me by Bayshore Hospital) for close to a year now and I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am with the attention of care my mother receives from their dedicated staff. Not only does she receive medical care, medication management and regularly scheduled checkups, they also provide a hair dresser and hold holiday parties. Now with the Covid-19 pandemic, the staff has suspended visitation and put other measures in place to safeguard the health of their residents. I would recommend this Care facility to anyone. "

"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."

"My experience was very nice. The rooms were also very nice. They seemed very upscale to me. They have short trips with the bus to take them to see different things that are happening in the area. They have doctors on-site. The staff seemed very sociable. The dining area was very nice. It was pretty meticulous."

"I toured The Delaney at Bridgewater. The people were very good and very helpful. It's a new place, and it was beautiful. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable. I toured a unit, and it was big. It was a regular apartment. It looked brand new; it looked excellent. They have a gym and a salon. The gym wasn't big, but it had a lot of equipment."

"My father in law has been a resident at the Villas for over two years. During the past two years the amazing staff have embraced him like one of their own which as you can imagine takes tremendous amount of anxiety off a family. For a resident who is going to be 96 you can only imagine the comfort that he feels from all of the attention that he is receiving. Over the past two years he had a number of health and wound issues nonrelated to the facility that have required a significant amount of attention by the nursing team. This has been addressed not only timely but by constant updates to the family on the status of his wound care and health status on a regular basis, sometimes daily, sometimes weekly. The wound program led by Joy has been amazing, attentive and proactive in facilitating wound healing. The wound program includes daily monitoring, treatment, weekly wound rounds with a Nurse Practitioner, and nutritional assessment with the Registered Dietician. What a relief for him not to have to leave the facility for any additional treatment. The entire Nursing Team including Laquasia, Joy, Sue, Becka, and others treat him like their own family member. The nursing team are continuously monitoring him and are accessible and responsive to any questions or concerns we as a family have. My father-in-law is not an overly social person however the activity team led by Kristin get him up and engaged and “smiling” which is by no means an easy feat. The Villas does an amazing job with their big events including a Luau last month complete with a “hula dancer” and this month Octoberfest for the residents and families which included arts and crafts, petting zoo and face painting which was enjoyed by all. My father in law is not the easiest however he goes into the dining room and the dining staff immediately meet his nutritional requests with constant attention. Overall, as a family we feel that we have made the right choice in choosing The Villas as a home for our family member and couldn’t be happier."

"My father moved into American Assisted Living at Hillsborough. It's a very nice place. The care is very good, it's very clean, very serene, and it's giving him a good quality of life. That's what I wanted for him. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. I'm very pleased with the facility, and it's very close to home, which means a lot to me. It's just a simple room. We had to buy the furniture to furnish the room. It's basic. It has a nice sized closet in it that you could store some stuff, other than that it has a window with a nice view. It's not much other than a bed, a dresser, a nightstand, and a chair. You can sit in there, but it's got a kitchenette area where it has a refrigerator, a sink, and a nice-sized bathroom. It's what he needs, which is fine. When we do come and visit we take him out, but he does physical therapy and occupational therapy, which is memory care. They do have a movie night, crafts, and a library, and they have all different kinds of activities and events. They invited us to a barbecue they had last weekend where they had a dunking machine where the seniors could come out. It's hard for some of them to come and participate, but we got him out there, and they had the big balloon display of the All American, which was nice because you can take pictures and they do videos. They even have a Facebook page where they can post videos and pictures of the residents there with their families if they give consent. They really make it nice for the families, and they give a lot for the families to participate, as well with events and stuff like that."

"I'm gonna go to Laurel Circle in Bridgewater. That's been my favorite so far. I just like the feel. I love the room. It had multiple eating areas and a fabulous library. It's wonderful. I've seen so many places, and Laurel Circle, just for me, was top. I fell in love with it from the minute I walked in. The least I liked was the location because I have a family in Basking Ridge, and they wanted me to be in Basking Ridge. I liked the feeling, the amenities, the food, and the different areas here that you could eat at. The staff was fabulous and friendly. It's very clean, and if you have to go to memory care, everything is right there. It was lovely. The studio apartment was large. It surprised me how big it was. It had a balcony, a walk-in closet, a lovely full kitchen, and a great bathroom."

"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 visited Mira Vie at Fanwood. It's nicely decorated, very clean, and very peaceful. It is a rather elegant situation, and I was told that it used to be a hotel, so I'm not surprised that it looks like that. They have two buildings, one for assisted living and the other for independent living. I took a closer look at assisted living. The rooms they showed me were kept well. They were small, just a room with a bed, so it was not a big accommodation. The staff was very well prepared. They knew what they had and knew what to tell me. They did well, and I liked what they told me and what I saw."

"I went to Brookdale Hillsborough. There was tranquility there. It was nice. The care was nice. From what I saw, the place was clean. The room was clean and sufficient as well. The staff was very kind and very knowledgeable. The dining area was clean. It was an empty space with tables and some chairs and things like that."

"The rooms are well-maintained and clean and comfortable. There is a wide variety of choices for food at every meal. Gabby and the entire staff are so incredibly kind and welcoming."
