"We toured Atria Riverdale. I liked everything. The day when we first came in, they were already waiting for us. They took us into his room until Erica came to us in less than three minutes. We were able to get any kind of refreshments or coffee chip ..."

"Sunrise of Woodcliff Lake was a beautiful place. It didn't actually feel like a senior center or a nursing home. It actually felt like a home. The staff, the people, everyone welcomed you. The place was immaculate. I'd like to live there myself. It's..."
"Atria Woodlands was very nice, very clean, and it smelled very nice. The food looked fantastic. I saw the nurses and the doctors that were there onsite. They showed us where the people would be checked as far as their physical condition. I saw a phys..."

"Sunrise of Old Tappan was lovely. It has a home-like setting. We loved how you could sit outside. We liked how they had a separate area for the dementia unit, but then they also co-mingle them with certain activities. We thought it was great. The onl..."

"I think everything that Sunrise of Crestwood had to offer like the staff, the amenities, the services, and the level of care, was ideal. It was exceptional in every respect. It would also be a convenient place, because we have most of our family in t..."

"My mom is at The Residence at Park Ridge. Her apartment is spacious. She is in a one-bedroom. She has a nice-sized living room and a kitchenette. We did the shared room rate because that's what she could afford, and when she was on Medicaid, like all..."
