The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Gloucester County, NJ

"We are staying in Lions Gate. We're in their independent living facility. There is also an assisted living facility here. It is a continuing care facility. The environment, accommodation, and the services of the staff are wonderful. My husband and I are very happy here. "

"We visited The Fountain. Many residents there were members of my mom’s parish, and they had a wonderful Catholic service on Saturdays, which made her feel welcome. The people were very helpful and caring. They provided three meals. "

"The Watermarks is a reasonable place. But they had been very lean with staffing and they don't have the ratio of staff to people to provide the right level of support. "

"At Cadbury at Cherry Hill, they have independent living, but they offer three meals throughout the day. It seemed pretty nice. They keep up with the building. It is always taken care of, and I even went and looked at one of the apartments yesterday that my dad would be put in. They're beautiful rooms, clean and nice sized. It's one room except for the bathroom, which is separate. It's like a studio. The staff was good and knowledgeable. The facility was pretty clean."

"My mom has been with the Friends Village for a year and a half. Everything has been good for her there. It's just excellent. The place is really clean. My mom has a cottage there. She's very happy. The food is always excellent. I'm very pleased with it. "

"most wonderful place in the world for both my parents "

"I went to Simpson House. I looked at what turned out to be an efficiency and a one-bedroom. It's near the place where my wife is. It looked very nice and the residents seemed very nice also. I would prefer to have a balcony, but they didn't have one available. The staff was very, very pleasant, and very helpful. I've seen a library, I've seen a movie theater, I've seen the cafeteria or some kind of a restaurant because some of the programs you get three free meals a day, and some of them you only get one free meal a day. I've seen computers, I've seen some sitting areas near outdoor greenery areas, which to me is a very high plus, because I liked the greenery areas."

"I was able to see Evergreens. They had a lot of people working there, they had a lot of nurses, and they took care of everything. If my mother was in assisted living, I would say that's where she should be, but she needs special care. The Evergreens was my favorite and they had everything. They had gyms and even a pool, but in the nursing home I don't like what they have there for what my mother needs."

"We once visited Riddle Village. They offer everything, easy walking out with friends and biking. The surrounding scenery is beautiful. If you had an active life before you came in Riddle Village, you will definitely continue it. You have to get out and do things. I saw that everyone seems to get involved in something. You can see a smile on everyone's face. It looks like they are well taken care of. It was just a lovely visit. "

"I volunteered at this facility for a period of about six months, and the employees whom I encountered were very nice. The grounds of the facility were kept beautifully with regular landscaping, and many sidewalks available for a wheelchair to be pushed along. Accessibility for the elderly seemed to be very easy, and staff was there to help with even the simplest tasks. Daily times were allotted so that other members of the community may become acquainted with one another through board games, playing piano, or a themed meal. I would say if I needed an assisted living facility that Medford Leas meets my requirements. "

"I was very impressed with Lima Estates. It was lovely, and if I ever decide to do anything, I might consider this facility. It’s right down the road where I live now, so it’s very convenient for me. It was very lovely. Everybody was wonderful. They invited me for a meal when I was there, and it was delicious. "

"The Granite Farms Estates was very nice, very open, and had very large areas for people to meet. I have a friend there, so I saw what it was like too. She was in the memory care and she was alone by herself but her room was too small. The hallways and other areas were big though. I also had lunch with her and the food was good. The facility was just a rectangular-shaped building so it was not as attractive as the other facilities we looked at, but it's less than a mile away from the nearest hospital."

"Dunwoody Village is really nice. Unfortunately, it's overpriced for what we needed. They have a memory care unit, a pool, physical therapy, and nice grounds. The memory care has a community dining area. Nothing fancy, just tables and chairs. They're really expensive. "

"I visited Waverly Heights. It's a bit expensive but very attractive physically both the grounds and the buildings. It was an old estate that was converted, so some of the buildings are unusual in terms of architecture. Their food is quite good, I've eaten there. I have some friends who live there so I've been there socially. They seem very happy about the staff. They have a lot of activities and groups that get together like discussion groups, they have a fair amount of that. They also have gardens."
