"The Springvale Inn was gorgeous but it's way too big. I stood at one end of the hallway and I said, 'my mom can't do it.' They said that they have to get themselves to the dining area on their own power, but my mom needs more assistance than that one does. The Springvale Inn was very clean and organized and the rooms were spacious. That part was nice. The only part I didn't like is that the halls were extremely long. It was beautiful, but it was too big for my mom. I only met two people and they're extremely nice and really helpful. I only saw one room and it was being redone. It's gorgeous. They had a salon and a beautiful courtyard. They had a bingo hall, a big dining area, and a smaller dining area where you could hold family things. It was very clean. "

"Pine Ridge Family Type Home for Adults was clean. It was very small. I think the owner has six people in it. It's essentially a house and I have inquired about memory care. The owner spent a lot of time with us. She seems to be really concerned and actively engaged with everybody there. Then I spoke to two of the other residents and they seemed well cared for and happy. That was the place we were ready to send my mother to as we wanted a smaller personal place like that. There are no social activities going on and that was one of the things that I had issues with. At some point, the owner said that they were bringing people in, such as musicians, but the residents weren't even paying attention to them."

"I went and toured Sunrise of New City. Everything seemed excellent. It seemed very clean, and everyone was very friendly. They have nice facilities, a nice view, and a nice outdoor area. Everything looked very good. For what they're trying to do, I would give them a 5. The food looked pretty good. It looked better than nursing home food. The staff that I met were all very nice. Mostly I was in the company of the head of sales, who was very nice. I also met a couple of people who were in charge of various functions there."

"I toured The Country House in Westchester. The lady had given me all the information that I needed and took additional information for me. Right now, we're trying to see just a couple of different possibilities, whether it'd be assisted living or just regular apartment living. What I liked the most was it was not too large. The number of rooms that they had was somewhere around 80, so the size in relationship to the staff was nice. The staff was excellent, very informative, helpful with our questions, and showed us several different rooms. There was a gazebo area, a library, a playroom, an arts and crafts room, and a piano for music and events. I know that they had a transportation van if you needed a trip to a facility or a doctor."

"Everybody at Atria on the Hudson was very nice. The employees have been there a long time. It's small. The people were very friendly. There were a lot of aides. They have a doctor's office, physical therapy, and someplace where you can get a haircut."

"We chose The Allendale Community for Senior Living for Mom because we like the environment. The people are very relaxed and friendly. It's very pretty, and it's close to home. She's in memory care. They're extremely helpful and friendly, and the residents there looked very happy compared to other places, and relaxed. They contacted me already a few times just to keep me updated. I just saw one meal there and it looked good. They have activities. It's very, very clean."

"We toured Thrive at Montvale. We liked the amenities, and we liked the fact that it was very new and very fresh. It was very nice. The staff was great, and we enjoyed the tour. We liked their meal plan and the size of the facility. It was not too big and not too small. We liked the fact that they could move from independent to assisted living if they needed to. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly, and they wanted to get to know my parents, which was good. The cleanliness was great. We liked the courtyard quite a bit. They had a garden room and a giant LEGO area for families to play in, and they had water features, but the units were a little bit on the small side. The atmosphere was vibrant, and we liked the setup, the layout, and the spaces."

"The staff are ALWAYS kind, caring and helpful. My relative moved in 8 months ago and has ALWAYS been treated with respect by everyone at Belle Reve. Same for me - whenever I visit I am greeted warmly and any questions I have are answered readily. The environment is very warm and nurturing."

"Everything seems to be going well at Brighton Gardens of Saddle River. My mother is very happy there. We're very pleased that we made this change. Her room is small, but it's perfectly adequate for what she needs and it's decorated very nicely, with her things and that kind of stuff. She seems to be doing well. She does participate in some of the activities. Based on my mom's feedback and based on some of her visitors that she's had, they all seemed to be very, very pleased with what goes on there. They provide her laundry service and I'm assuming it's adequate. I haven't heard any complaints from her. She's comfortable in her apartment. They bring her out to sit in the front room a lot, so she's very happy that way. She's not isolated."

"My aunt moved to Sunrise Franklin Lakes earlier this year. My aunt has always been a second mom to me. We were so concerned about how she would adjust to living in a memory care setting. We could not be more pleased with how well she has adjusted. I visit frequently and feel so confident that her needs are being met. I often arrive to find my aunt engaged in activities. Seeing her smile and laugh with her new friends brings joy to our family!"

"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 really amazing. The lady showed me both the assisted living and memory care, and she was great. She was very phenomenal, very caring, very considerate, and very knowledgeable. They have a courtyard, too, and the rooms have a refrigerator, a microwave, and a walk-in shower."

"Since coming to live at The Promenade at Blue Hill, I have become a free spirit. Free to enjoy my retirement, with the help of caring staff and the company of great friends. Come on, join us!"

"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 the other places, she had to have a roommate, so that's the downside. The staff there are incredible. They're very friendly and supportive. They're there with any questions. The food is very good. I had lunch there, and their lunch was excellent. And my mom loves their food. The place is extremely clean. Every part of it and every area that we want to, it's immaculate. With regards to activities, they have a wide range of activities. I don't think they have as much as some of the other places that I saw, but my mom is very happy with them. They do bingo, arts and crafts, and different games. They have movies. They have happy hour and they have appetizers, cheese, and crackers for their happy hour. They also have milkshakes and coffee socials. They do a lot."
