Assisted Living Communities in Newark, NJ

"This community was alright. They both had independent living and an assisted living facilities. I didn't like the apartment, they need to improve on the layout of the rooms. "

"Harbour View Senior Living is too far for me because all my doctors are in New York. But in my opinion, it's a very peaceful and lovely area. The facility is very interesting in that you won't get lost in it. The staff was very respectful and very nice. If I choose to live there, I know they'll help me out with things that I will need."

"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."

"The Sunrise in Westfield is fantastic, beautiful, and gorgeous, but you have to have a lot of money to reside there. Everything is fantastic, including the staff. If I have the money, that’s where my mother would be. I met the director of sales, and her help was astronomical. "

"My mom is in Atria Cranford. It is really nice. The area is also nice, and the place is clean. You can do a trial membership there for a 30 or 60 days and see what it is like. They are very cooperative. They will help you roll over to give you a full time room. I also like their medical staff. My mom is on medication, they print out the medicines very nicely, and it includes what the medicine is, how much it is, and the date and time there are supposed to give it to her. All residents have a key on their wrists so they don’t lose them. My mom also has like an emergency pull cord in her room. The rooms are very nice and clean. They have a little field trips where they can go shopping. They have big movie room, and then they have a TV room. They also have like a little bistro there besides the main dining room. For the residents who didn't come down to dinner, they will go looking for them. "

"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."

"We toured Mira Vie at Clifton, and they were very exceptional. That place was stunning, and I wanted to move in there. They had these massive common room areas, and the people were super friendly. They had activities going on while we were there. It's kind of head and shoulders above at this point, and I got to meet the chef. They have a movie theater space, and they show movies nightly. They have a craft space and three or four little common areas; some are bigger, and some are smaller. They have little reading nooks, and that was great. We were waiting for the person giving the tour, and the residents were lovely. They came over and talked to us and were very happy. They had a party going on upstairs with a DJ, and everybody was in the middle of a party, and that's my favorite."

"My husband was at Coterie Hudson Yards and it was a really beautiful place. It was a modern building, and that was what he liked very much. He liked to stay there and be cared for by people. Occasionally, he would come home to his studio and they would provide him with a car service. His studio apartment was quite roomy with very high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows looking outside, and plenty of closet space. He brought in his own paintings to hang on the walls. Also at the entrance, there's a glass box where he could put his things that he can organize in his room, and that was a very nice touch. There was no kitchen, but it had a big bathroom. He participated in the exercises, and there was someone who was instructing him how to draw and paint. They also had performances and music programs. The interaction with the staff was good, but because he was new, it was a little disorganized. But I guess that was a normal thing. I didn't experience the meals. On the top floor, they have a restaurant, and we enjoyed having a family dinner or breakfast there."

"A good friend of mine was referred to this place by his family. I visit him often according to his time and enjoy seeing him. I have observed the facility is clean and the staff are always helpful whenever I need to find my friend. My friend seems at peace and enjoys what the facility offers. He tells me the place is like school where he is learning and enjoying others and activities around him. He laughs how he doesn't have to worry about cleaning and laundry because everything is done. I enjoy seeing my friend during sunny weathers because of its fresh air,beautiful, peaceful, and safe atmosphere. I guess when I turn old I would rather prefer this place then anywhere else. I visit my friend from time to time and bring in his favorite snacks, magazines and books, however I miss seeing him on a daily basis. "

"We went on a tour at The Brielle, it was very nice there, but expensive. I liked that it was clean and I was allowed to take my dog with me. They take the residents shopping, to doctors' appointments, and on fieldtrips. They also serve three meals a day. They showed us apartments where you have to share your living room and kitchen with a roommate."

"I visited Brookdale Florham Park. They gave a great tour. We didn't feel rushed. We felt like we had all of our questions answered. One of the residents actually made a point of asking to speak with us privately, so he could tell us, from a resident's perspective, what it was like to live there and that was a really nice touch. They have gathering spaces and they have activities, and all the meals are provided. What I liked about Brookdale was it was a little bit smaller. It wasn't as new as some of the other facilities, but it was clean and well appointed. Other residents just spontaneously, as we walked around and toured, would say how much they liked it there and what a great place it was. That was really reassuring and comforting. They also had several options of either a studio or a one-bedroom. The lady who toured us made sure that we saw several different options of where my mom could stay or how we could do it. That was really helpful, too, to be able to kind of envision my mom being there. They had outdoor spaces and a small refrigerator in the apartment."

"why is there no atm or little shop for residents to get things they need. it would allow them to feel more independant. they would not have to rely on others for daily needs. place is beautiful and staff is great."

"I toured Mira Vie at Fanwood, and I liked it a lot. It was in the center of town. You could walk to some stores, and I liked that. It was very clean. It was a place that I would be interested in, but it was a little over my price range. The one-bedroom was nicely laid out and very clean. The staff was nice. They even gave me a little goody bag to leave with and made fresh baked scones. It was an excellent place."
