The Best Memory Care Communities in Ocean County, NJ

"I visited Monarch Bella Terra and saw their independent living. I spoke with the people, I saw the rooms, and that place was beautiful. I like the cleanliness of it, the place was very well maintained. A lady took me around and into one of the empty apartments, which had just been redone, where everything was brand new. Then she took me into another apartment that had two bedrooms. It was a shared apartment, and it was beautiful and very nice. The one person I met and the lady at the counter were very nice. They were very informative. They had a little gym and a TV room. It was a nice place, but not extravagant. It was small but clean."

"The rooms are quite nice and kept very clean. The nursing staff was always attentive to any issues and contacted me on a regular basis regarding issues with my mother. All the staff members from the servers to the activity staff truly love what they do. Always made my family know how much they enjoyed caring for our mother. The resident coordinator will go out of her way to make sure each resident is comfortable and well cared for. I would highly recommend this facility"

"My family member is on recollections. I absolutely love the coordinator. She is motivated, friendly, polite and caring. Nice staff. Clean environment "

"My mother has moved into Wellington Estates at Spring Lake. The grounds are beautiful. The staff is very warm and welcoming. There are lots of activities. It's perfect for my mom. I haven't tried the food, but my mom is very happy. I think it's about right on par with everyone else, but they were very helpful with our financial situation. We were short on the required funds, but they were willing to work with us. That to me was more valuable."

"My mother moved into Sunrise of Wall. The experience has been very good. It's very clean, updated, and the staff is fantastic. She has no complaints about the food. They take them to the boardwalk, they take them shopping, they have independent exercises, events, it's been scaled down 'cause of COVID, but nonetheless they still keep her busy."

"I went on a tour of Seaton Ocean Grove for a friend. It has very nice rooms, very open, and is pleasant around the surroundings. They had good windows and good visibility. There is an ocean view. There is good space around where the tenants or people who live there can go and just relax, or go for a walk. So there's a lot of things going on. You can get around and you can enjoy a lot of things very easily. And if they need to use transportation, there's Uber and cars that can take them and bring them back reasonably. The staff is very pleasant and knowledgeable. The facility was very well kept and the accessibility was very good."

"I would like to thank Rayna and her staff for the great job there doing during the Coronavirus. Rayna is keeping me informed about my brother Dennis. Whenever I call I am informed about what’s going on with my brother. So please just keep doing what you and your staff are doing, because I know he is in good hands. Ray M. and family"

"I visited Atria Tinton Falls and toured the assisted living facility. The place is clean and has a friendly staff who seem like they really care. They sent me home with lunch and some cookies, and it was very good. They had specials and an everyday menu. The studio rooms that we saw were very clean and updated."

"The rooms are well-maintained and clean and comfortable. There is a wide variety of choices for food at every meal. Gabby and the entire staff are so incredibly kind and welcoming."

"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."

"My experience was very nice. The rooms were also very nice. They seemed very upscale to me. They have short trips with the bus to take them to see different things that are happening in the area. They have doctors on-site. The staff seemed very sociable. The dining area was very nice. It was pretty meticulous."
