The Best Memory Care Communities in Somerset County, NJ

"The guy I met at Spring Hills Somerset was wonderful. He's the director of admittance. I'm one step from possibly moving my mom over to this community. It's a very nice place, nice entranceway, big hallways, and he offered it to me for $200 less than where my mom is currently at. The apartment I saw there was a studio apartment with a small refrigerator and a sink. They have a very nice painted walkway. It's a nice and clean apartment with indoor and outdoor carpeting, it's barrier free and has a walk-in shower. I have a friend who has been there for 4 years who loves everything including their food. I'm debating moving my mom there. Almost every day they put up a list of activities. At 9:00 they have breakfast, then afterwards they got different things going on. 12:00 is lunch, at 1:30 they may have a concert in the rec hall. They do activities where they all go to the rec area and would have an activity where they come up with words based on a letter, so they get to think. They have the same activities as her current community. The place itself is gorgeous, they've got everything there."

"Sunrise of Basking Ridge was very nice. They gave me a very nice tour. The staff seemed nice, professional, and well trained. The amenities were excellent. The facility was very clean. The outdoor area was good."

"My mother is at Memory Care Living. She has been there for two months now. It is a private home with 15 bedrooms, and each resident gets their own bedroom. The house was completely renovated last fall. It is very clean. The facility is very nice. I give very high marks to the staff that works there. They are very caring and very engaged with the residents. The open floor plan in the family room, and the kitchen is a nice feature because it gives it a very homey feel. Whenever they're preparing food, it is right out in the open. The kitchen is separate, but there are no walls between the kitchen and the main gathering area. I think that's a nice plus. Even though it is a private home, it has a lot of amenities. My mother is very pleased with it. "

"I have visited Emeritus at Hillsborough. I was treated by the staff very nicely. The place is definitely nicer than the other facility I visited and was a lot newer looking, that's for sure, but I think it was very expensive. It was very clean. I think the residents didn't really look like they were disengaged, but I didn't talk to anybody. I didn't say that much. I walked around it. They walked me in their room and talked to me a little bit. They gave me a brochure and they sent me out on my way. They spent more time with me at the other facility than they did at the Emeritus. I had a pleasant visiting experience, but I wouldn't put my mother there. "

"My mom moved in. It's very nice, and it's like a renovated ranch house. It has about eight residents and they have memory care problems. They eat together in the kitchen. The staff seems caring, and the menu sounds good. The food smells good. They each have individual rooms and they share two bathrooms. They play a lot of music, there are hand-eye coordination activities, they do crafts, and they're going to make cookies tomorrow. Today they had a Christmas party for them. They provided them with Santa hats, and it was very lively and very nice."

"I visited Mira Vie at Fanwood. It's nicely decorated, very clean, and very peaceful. It is a rather elegant situation, and I was told that it used to be a hotel, so I'm not surprised that it looks like that. They have two buildings, one for assisted living and the other for independent living. I took a closer look at assisted living. The rooms they showed me were kept well. They were small, just a room with a bed, so it was not a big accommodation. The staff was very well prepared. They knew what they had and knew what to tell me. They did well, and I liked what they told me and what I saw."

"I chose Terra Bella Distinctive Memory Care Homes for my mother because it specialized in dementia. The rooms were small but they were fine. The staff were friendly. The food was edible. When I was there, I did not see any activities. It would be better if they had more activities since I have not seen the activity counselor for awhile. "

"It was full, happy, and had a big chandelier and a big game room on the side with people playing Scrabble near the fireplace. It was a beautiful place to walk into. Your first impression is "Wow, what a great place!" The layout was fantastic, the rooms were beautiful and very much like apartments as opposed to little rooms. They're one-bedrooms with a kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, and bedroom. The food was wonderful and made with the elderly in mind. The chef comes out and talks. When I was there, they had carolers come in whosang a lot of old songs and a few winter and Christmas songs. They were considerate of the religious groups."

"Sunrise of Westfield is literally right down the street from me. I always admire how beautiful it is. The people in it are unbelievable. They're great and very good to my mother. They treat her really well, and we're very happy with this place. Every time I go there, they're doing things with her. It is very nice. Everybody there is wonderful. "

"We've chosen Spring Hills Princeton for my mother, and she's moving this week. Location was a big deal. I'm very familiar with Princeton. It's not far from where I live. It's not far from where I work. So location, and convenience of my being able to get there were definitely at the top of my priorities. It's also in a beautiful area, a very beautiful facility. The staff was phenomenal. I toured their dining facility, and saw their menu. Some of the residents did come up to me and, they sort of very friendly and, they happened to mention, that they love the meals. They enjoy being there. So I'm assuming that it's pretty good. I was shown three different style rooms, a studio, one is considered like a one bedroom, and then the other is like a two bedroom, I guess, for couples. We liked the studio. We felt my mother would be fine in a smaller room, but they showed me a model of how it could be set up if I did select the studio, and made it very simple for me to get my mother to make sure she had what she needed by seeing this model. So it made it very easy for me to visualize what I need to do. They were also able to show that they have a room where they do all the arts and crafts. I know my mother in the past had enjoyed it, so I'm hoping that that would get her back to being interested. So an entire room for that with somebody who helps them do crafts and art. They have a nice, little, reading section, like a little library. I know my mother from the past enjoyed reading so that was very helpful. They also have a section where I knew she was going to need physical therapy and occupational therapy, so we did a tour of that section."

"This is an expensive but well-maintained and competently-run facility largely populated by well-heeled, demanding residents with no shortage of petty complaints. The rooms are nice, if small, and the food is very good. There is an abundance of activities and trips, and the staff is kind and energetic. "

"I visited the information center after hearing about this lovely place from a friend. This is exactly what I had been looking for, but more beautiful than I could have imagined. The apartments are spacious and the amenities and grounds are gorgeous. The staff is wonderful and so helpful. "

"I toured Maplewood at Princeton. It was nice, very bright, and clean. There were a lot of activities for the residents. It was like a luxurious hotel. It was beautiful. It's a nice place to be if you pick an assisted living facility. The person who took me around was very good."
