The Best Memory Care Communities in Passaic County, NJ

"I like Harmony Village at CareOne Paramus, but because my father is very sick and he is terminal, we wanted to take care of him at home. We wanted him to be home because he also wanted to be home. I loved everything about Harmony Village at CareOne Paramus. The place is very clean, very modern, and high-end, and it's a lot of money, too. The staff was very friendly and professional. When we walked in, we kind of felt we were in a hotel. The layout of the room was good. It was welcoming and very nice."

"I am a POA for my friend who is a resident of Junniper Village and I can only praise the care and treatment she has received. The staff is very accommodating and helpful with your needs. The facility is very warm and welcoming. It is decorated for all holidays to make the facility extra festive. There is a very large dining room and a diversified menu. Activities are available where many friends are made. Juniper Village is a safe place where you can consider for your loved one."

"My aunt moved to Sunrise Franklin Lakes earlier this year. My aunt has always been a second mom to me. We were so concerned about how she would adjust to living in a memory care setting. We could not be more pleased with how well she has adjusted. I visit frequently and feel so confident that her needs are being met. I often arrive to find my aunt engaged in activities. Seeing her smile and laugh with her new friends brings joy to our family!"

"I toured Sunrise of Paramus. It's a very nice facility, and everybody was engaged. It's new and very well-kept. The rooms are being updated and transitioned over, so some of them were in the middle of construction, like they're putting the bathroom in, and their pieces still need to be assembled, which is fine. The staff was great and engaged, and I liked her very much. I felt more comfortable with her. She knew all the residents there."

"I've toured CareOne at The Cupola which is a very nice community. They toured us through their rooms, they were nice as well. They had a lot of stuff going on, there's a gym room, exercises, they have a theater area, and outside gardens. They had more amenities than other places I've seen. The overall facilities and upkeep were good. My overall impression of the place was very good."

"Fox Trail Memory Care Living at Mahwah was very good and the apartments were good. They have outings, games, TV, and musicians come in to entertain them. The place looked clean."

"My brother & sister-in-law moved to Green Hill about 9 months ago. Both of them are treated very well. The staff , the nurses, care givers & management cannot do enough to make them feel loved. I recommend Green Hill highly."

"Brighton Gardens of West Orange was fabulous. However, the rates were kind of bad if you needed help. The only thing I had a problem with was the extra $4,000 a month if Mom needed assistance with taking a shower. I liked everything else about it. I loved the whole thing. I toured the memory care. The lady took me through and showed me everything. The other thing I had a problem with was they have two cats. The restaurant was gorgeous. The common areas, too. They would go outside and the grounds were beautiful. They have a place where they could do the gardening right there. The whole thing was just beautiful. I thought it was gorgeous. It was near a hospital so that's a very good location and it's not in a busy street."

"Everything seems to be going well at Brighton Gardens of Saddle River. My mother is very happy there. We're very pleased that we made this change. Her room is small, but it's perfectly adequate for what she needs and it's decorated very nicely, with her things and that kind of stuff. She seems to be doing well. She does participate in some of the activities. Based on my mom's feedback and based on some of her visitors that she's had, they all seemed to be very, very pleased with what goes on there. They provide her laundry service and I'm assuming it's adequate. I haven't heard any complaints from her. She's comfortable in her apartment. They bring her out to sit in the front room a lot, so she's very happy that way. She's not isolated."

"I liked Mira Vie at Montville very much out of all the ones that I've seen. It was very warm and inviting. The staff was very friendly and it pretty much had everything that my mom would need. The facilities were very, very clean. It's not a brand new facility but everything seems to be well-maintained and very spacious. The lady who gave the tour was very good, too."

"We chose The Allendale Community for Senior Living for Mom because we like the environment. The people are very relaxed and friendly. It's very pretty, and it's close to home. She's in memory care. They're extremely helpful and friendly, and the residents there looked very happy compared to other places, and relaxed. They contacted me already a few times just to keep me updated. I just saw one meal there and it looked good. They have activities. It's very, very clean."

"I liked the concept of Fox Trail Memory Care Living-Montville. They only had six people in the whole house. It was a very good concept of having a building with just maybe 14 or 15 people in it. Other than that, I thought it was not nearly as nice as the other two facilities I visited, and they just didn't have much going on there. The rooms that I saw were very spartan. They had an area where there were some women who were playing bingo. What we saw was nice, but they don't have a gym or anything like that. They have somebody that comes in to do the hair though. Everything was clean."

"My relative is in Memory Care Living right now. I thought it was very nice. I like that it is a residence, like a home, so people feel more relaxed because it was a home atmosphere rather than an institutional type of atmosphere. It was very clean, the people were very friendly, and the staff was extremely helpful; they go out of their way to be helpful. It is nice because each person gets a private room. It is just a small room, but it is their own room, so I thought that was kind of a good thing because she’s there for Alzheimer’s, and if someone is acting up and disrupting the person next to them then it’s not going to be a comfortable place to be.
