The Best Assisted Living Communities in Ocean County, NJ

"My mother has moved into Wellington Estates at Spring Lake. The grounds are beautiful. The staff is very warm and welcoming. There are lots of activities. It's perfect for my mom. I haven't tried the food, but my mom is very happy. I think it's about right on par with everyone else, but they were very helpful with our financial situation. We were short on the required funds, but they were willing to work with us. That to me was more valuable."

"I would like to thank Rayna and her staff for the great job there doing during the Coronavirus. Rayna is keeping me informed about my brother Dennis. Whenever I call I am informed about what’s going on with my brother. So please just keep doing what you and your staff are doing, because I know he is in good hands. Ray M. and family"

"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 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."

"This is the third assisted living community in which my mother has resided. By far, this community has been the most attentive to her needs. All staff are extremely professional and caring for my mother. My mother's experience has been that this has been a welcoming home for her. Others felt more like a hotel, but we have found all personnel contribute to making Mira Vie a most positive experience!"

"We chose Millennium Memory Care for my aunt because there were only fifteen people there, and it's like a house type of environment with five staff members, so it wasn't like a big institution. There's a lot of sunlight and it's only for people with Alzheimer's. We haven't got the chance to go inside because of the COVID, but as far as the attentiveness and calling us back, it's been good. They have a program now where she's having help with her swallowing, they got her a better wheelchair, they're gonna have somebody come in for four hours a day, and she sees a doctor once a week. She's getting much better care than what we can give her at home. I also like the staff. The facility looks like a home that's built in the neighborhood because in Holmdel, all the houses are big, and this looks like it fits into the neighborhood. It's a bit expensive, but I feel like we're getting what we paid for."

"Holly House was a nice place. It was a great program, and it would have been a perfect fit for my relative. They were professional, friendly, and courteous, and they went above and beyond. I didn't try the food, but my relative did, and she enjoyed the meals. The rooms were well lit, they were very clean, and they were very comfortable."

"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.."

"Rose Hill was spotless, they had a little chapel, and you can practice whatever religion you have there. They had a big recreation area, it's very clean, and it seemed very nice. Each bedroom had its own kitchenette. If you wanted to cook, microwave, or wash something, you could. You can make your own coffee. Everybody was nice, and I didn't have any problem with them. "

"I visited both assisted living and memory care at Mira Vie at Forsgate. Everything was wonderful. I'd give them a five all the way around. The staff was very helpful, very accommodating, and very sincere. It was very clean. It was smaller for my sister-in-law to maneuver. Even the age of the residents I liked, because they weren't all in their 80s and 90s. They had some younger residents there. They gave us a dessert to bring home, but I'm a diabetic, so I couldn't eat it. I gave them away, and they said they were delicious. I did speak to one resident, and she told me the food was great."

"We toured Juniper Village at Hamilton. It's such a nice community when you go in. The atrium was beautiful and wide open. The cafeteria looked so nice. My friend was impressed with its size. She loved to walk the hallways. The surrounding area was very nice for walking, and she has a dog. Inside, there was so much room for her to walk and get into the activity. Plus, she was very impressed with the activity schedule. There was so much to do every day to keep you busy if you wanted to be active. There's a movie theater, which she loves, a library, and a gym. They offered everything that she was interested in. We were both very impressed by it. We checked their dining area and menu. We discussed it, and they offered specials every day. Plus, they have other foods, so if you opt not to choose from the specials, you have other options every day, which is wonderful. The staff was extremely helpful and very pleasant. As we were walking through, all the staff acknowledged us. It seemed like a very pleasant community. Even the residents seemed very happy. The ones we saw smiled and said hello."

"My dad moved into The Terraces at Seacrest Village. He liked the facility. The rooms are very nice. The food was good. The staff members were very caring, competent, and responsive. They have activities. The activity calendar looks very thorough. They have a lot planned, but my father hasn't had a chance to participate in any of them yet. The facility is clean and well-appointed. They have a movie theater, a common cooking area, and a nice living room. The common areas were very nice."

"We liked everything about Villas of Holmdel. We picked out a two-bedroom apartment, played with the long-term care policy for almost a year, and then they finally said, "No way." This place felt very homey and wasn't huge. The residents looked about our age. The food was excellent, and we had lunch there. We loved the two-bedroom apartment, and I felt we would have been comfortable living there. The lady who gave the tour held that apartment for us. She stayed in constant contact with my son and worked with us. I gave her a deposit. She tried so hard to get us there. The dining area was very nice. They had a nice movie theater, a grandchildren's night, an ice cream bar, a spa, a beauty parlor, an exercise room, and outdoor seating."
