The Best Memory Care Communities in Camden County, NJ

"We went to Cambridge Enhanced Senior Living. We met a representative and she was very informative. She showed us around. She says the building is presently being renovated in stages. The memory care nursing home part of it is not renovated at this point but is certainly scheduled to be renovated. We did see the renovated spaces and they were beautiful. They tend to bring people together in a room two at a time. And that's okay by us. It was just a generally good informative demonstration or presentation on their part. And, the people who work there could not be nicer as far as just running into an explanation of what they do and the programs they offer. It seemed to fill all our needs for my father's care."

"My husband is in CareOne Harmony. Everything is going very well so far. I think the services are quite adequate. The food and the dining area are fine. I like the fact that they have residents in the different areas depending on their levels of need, care or ability. They say my husband is the highest functioning dementia patient they have there. His dementia is a result of a stroke. The only problem is the expense. "

"I have seen CareOne at Evesham, it was more hospital like, and didn’t have a secure floor. It was more of a nursing home, the staff was friendly and nice, and they have a room where they had physical therapy. The rooms were more hospital like, with 2 beds in a room."

"We toured Spring Oak Assisted Living of Berlin. It was very open, bright, and well lit. There's natural lighting and welcoming staff at the front. Just knowledgeable. It's a very upkept facility. There were a lot of nice amenities for the residents. They had a movie area for them. Just the community that was there, and the way it was explained to us, it was a very home-feeling there. They did what they could to promote everything that the residents did to support the facility. They were more proud to talk about the residents than about the staff. It was a very nice facility. The staff members were really helpful. Even as we talked about our specific situation with my mother-in-law, they helped us in ways that we weren't even asking for help, and gave us recommendations on how to handle the situation we were in. They're very kind, caring people."

"The apartments are spacious, the food is great, many choices and once a month we do a chefs tasting. Lots of things to do if you want to stay active fitness classes. We have French and Japanese classes, outside trips, onsite doctors. Any level of care if you need it"

"We were working with Atria Center City and my aunt got evaluated and everything. They had gone out to see her, and she was OK/approved to go to Atria, but at the last minute we couldn't convince her to go. She wants to return home. Atria was the best one we found that was centrally located for my nephew and myself for visiting reasons. My mother had previously been a resident there some years ago and I did visit. The staff gave me a tour because they had recently renovated and everything, and he wanted me to see that. I had a pleasant experience. It was a very nice tour. There were so many good things. They had all of the services that you would be looking for, for your loved one to be sufficiently taken care of in stages. If she needed more care, the services were there for her to progress on to that. It was a very nice environment. They had all kinds of arts and crafts for them. They had a beautiful rooftop terrace for them to go to, a bistro for them if they needed snacks, and a beautiful cafeteria. Most of all, they still had a lot of recreational provisions for them. They had independent living also, but I was looking for assisted living. My mother enjoyed her time there while she was living. The staff was great. They still had meetings every month for the individual residents, and if they had any complaints, they would forward it. They would let anyone know, and that's what I liked about it. The ones that were very verbal would be able to list any complaints if they had them. They were given free rein for that also. The food was excellent. Maintenance and cleanliness wise, from the previous experience, there was no problem with my mother. They took them on trips to plays, museums, stores, and little outings, and arts and crafts. They also had great entertainment for them. People would come in for entertainment, and the ones that could dance were dancing. They had a little bar there in the evenings for happy hour. Little drinks were provided, wine, Coca-Cola, or whatever."

"I did a tour of All American at Washington Township. It seemed to be nice, and the people in the facility seem very happy. They had roommates, but they had a common living room. That seemed nice because they were able to socialize. They shared a bathroom. The only activity I saw was bingo. I know they had a hairdresser in there. The person I spoke to, Kimberly, she seemed very friendly. The people there really seemed to like her. They all spoke to her, and she seemed very involved with the people living there, which I thought was nice."

"Terraces at Parke Place was very nice, very clean, beautiful, and big. The staff seemed to be a little standoffish. The dining area was very clean. The décor was very pretty. The rooms were a nice size. Everything about it seemed very nice except I did not get a homey feeling. "

"The Landing of Washington Square is a great place. It's beautiful. They have five different things going on every day and mom likes them. Yesterday they had a pickle-tasting. They also do chair Zumba every day, happy hour, and trips. It's a really top-of-the-line place. The food is OK. They offer choices for you. They'll take them to the doctors within ten miles and they allow pets. Everyone's very friendly."

"My brother has been a resident of Juniper Village for the past 2 years; he frequently reminds me that he is so pleased that we chose Juniper Village for his assisted living. Juniper living is a friendly and caring environment. Any questions that I have with regard to my brother's care or needs has been addressed in an expedient manner. I am especially impressed with the highly professional medical staff. Their quality of care and attention to detail is amazing. Mary"

"I thought The Philadelphia Protestant Home was very clean, very nice, and very welcoming. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The apartments were roomy and nice, so I definitely would recommend this place."

"Viva Senior Living at Cross Keys is nice and clean. The people who work there are jovial with the patients. They have a lot of patience, and they treat them very nicely. Right now, my wife is in a semi-private apartment, waiting to be put into a private apartment. The room she is in now, they share the bathroom, and there are two beds. They have a program list that varies from day to day, whether it's listening to music, dancing, or playing bingo. They have quizzes for them, and they have movies they can watch. They have a courtyard, but they really can't walk in it now because of the snow. They have a salon where you can get your hair cut. They have a couple of dayrooms and auditoriums where they eat lunch, dinner, and breakfast. My wife likes their food. It's worth the money."

"The apartment section of Deer Meadow's is beautiful, the apartment are well laid out and spaceous. The building is kept very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They have many activities for the residents to take part in, from bingo to casino trips. The location is perfect, it is very close to Nazareth hospital, they also have doctor's on staff in the building for resident to visit with. A full hair salon, a chapel, and a gift shop a game room, this building has just about everything you could want. "

"My uncle lived here for a period of about one year before eventually moving in with his daughter. The facility was well maintained and the staff was amazing. I frequently popped in for unannounced visits and never met any resistance. On one occassion I stayed and ate with some of the residents. I found the food to be plentiful and tasty. There were always activitieS for the residents and the staff seemed to every kind and efficient. One of the things that struck me the most was that the staff memebers not only knew the names of all the residents, but they knew their likes and dislikes. Staff members would come to get my uncle when they knew one of his favorite activities was going to start. I found this very endearing. I never had any apprehension or fear about the level and type of care that he was receiving while staying at the facility. "
