The Best Independent Living Communities in Atlantic County, NJ

"Best Of Life Park is close to the stores, transportation-wise. The facility is all right. It had one bedroom, and that's not suitable for me, my husband, and my son. They have senior classes on the main floor. The building was very neat and clean. The elevators were functioning. They have parking."

"The place was beautiful. But they had a really bad customer service. They made us run around. We gave them all the papers, we have credit and we gave them $50 deposit. But it didn't work because they said my mom's credit needs to be $620 and they told us to pay some of her bills. We paid her bills and her credit went up. Now they were asking for tax papers. It was just ridiculous. They made us feel that they don't want certain people there. "

"My grandma mother and i went to this facility to see what my grandmother thought of it. In all honesty she did not want to be put into assisted living or any type of service like this to begin with. Though while we were there she did say it was not very bad. It was not run down and horrible like you always here people say. The people were generally happy but wanted to talk to us a lot so it took up a lot of our time. My grandam seemed to enjoy it a lot. The place was pretty nice in my opinion i have been in the hospital a lot when i was younger and this place was on par with what i have seen. It was not too fancy like i thought it was going to be and was also pretty expensive. She ended up not liking the place, but she was skewed to begin with. It was also a little out of her budget which she also continue to add all the time. "

"I have been a resident of Four Seasons at Mirage for several years now and like it. I like the fact that they do all the outside work, like shovel the snow, mow the grass, and fertilize everything. They have bingo once a week, do bus trips to New York or outside Philadelphia to a flower show, and have golf, bowling, and more. They don't have apartments, just individual homes, and mine is quite small but others are large. They don't offer anything like housekeeping; that's all on you or you can hire somebody. It's a gated community and the guards are very nice, as are the staff at the desk. They offer a lot to do. If you want to participate, you can, but if you don't, then they don't make you. I'm very happy there."
