The Best Memory Care Communities in Ocean County, NJ

"I loved Bella Terra's cozy rooms and the setup of the facility. The dining area was beautiful, like a restaurant. They had arts and crafts and were making centerpieces. The staff was very friendly. "

"Sunnyside Manor, to me, is a top community. It’s a very new place with beautiful rooms. The whole community is very bright and cheerful. It was an excellent visit. "

"Wellington Estates at Spring Lake was a nice place. They have the same accommodations basically as the other facility. Their grounds were very nice. It was an older place, and they had carpeting instead of hard floors. I think the hard floors are probably a little cleaner. They make all their own bread, pastries, and things. So they probably have a very good chef there, as far as the food goes. They were very good. The woman who owns it and runs it is a very nice girl. One of the reasons we chose not to go there was because I was concerned that if something happens to her health-wise, I'm not sure who's going to be running the place. So I was concerned about the ongoing business there. In Wellington, they have assisted living, they also have memory, and that's as far as they go. They don't have nursing per se if you were hospice. They've got doctors on call, but they don't have residents. The staff members were friendly, seemed capable, and clean. I think that they could do a little better, but it didn't seem like it was dirty."

"Millennium Memory Care - Ocean was a small place. Most of the rooms were full and the one room that was offered didn't have a bathroom in it, so you had to go out to the hallway to use the bathroom. It's almost a home that's converted. They had some rooms with bathrooms and others that didn't have bathrooms. The person during the tour was really sweet and got along very well with the residents. She interacted very well with them. The place was very clean. She has had people out in the main room and they were doing things. She's very accommodating."

"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."

"Mom is here and the facility is great. She loves it. Her room is nice and loves her room. Everybody in the family is happy with her being there. The people there are phenomenal and they were really nice. We have no complaints at all about the facility. It's very, very nice place."

"My mother has been in here for a month. We like the size of the rooms. It is very clean. The people who work there seem very caring and attentive. They have activities and serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If I have a question, there is always somebody who will give me the answer. They have a salon and do laundry once a week; they do not mix her laundry with other people's."

"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."

"The staff are very helpful - always willing to talk with me. They keep a close eye on Mom and know what she likes. The individual bedrooms are nice although they spend most of their time in the community livingroom/diningroom."

"This home was absolutely beautiful and felt like an extension of my home. It isn't grand or overly big but I personally find that to be better, especially for my purpose in visiting the home."

"I toured Mira Vie at Forsgate, and it was very nice. The director was very approachable, answered all my questions, and gave us a thorough tour. They have a patio, and it's in a kind of forest setting."

"My mother has moved into The Landing of Hamilton. We chose it because it was new, very clean, and looked like a hotel. The rooms were very nice. The studios were nice. They have full-size refrigerators. The bathrooms were large. She's in memory care now. She started in assisted living. The staff is very caring. They've had parties and I've tried the food, and it's been fine, but I've heard some complaints from the residents there that they don't like some of the food. They have an exercise room. They bring in exercise instructors to work with them. They have activity rooms where they play bingo and do drawings and crafts and all that stuff. Their price is equal to other places. They're not astronomically high and they're not low either. They're just in between. I've been to a few other places and a few places are more expensive and a few places are less expensive, but the less expensive ones aren't as nice. I chose The Landing because it was a nicer place."
