Memory Care Communities in Wayne, NJ

"My cousin is a resident of Mira Vie at Clifton. It's a very nice and very clean facility. They're very accommodating. The wellness staff is very nice, and I'm very pleased with the place. I'm very happy with my choice. They do bring her to the activities in which she participates. I know they have bingo, they sing, they have movies, and they do mind games in the morning. They give them three meals a day and they have snacks at four. Some of her friends went to see her, and they even gave them a cake. It's expensive, but I'm satisfied with what we're getting there. They even have a movie theater. They have an art room, a music room, and other things."

"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."

"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."

"Sunrise of Paramus was a nice and very homey place. The people are very inviting and it's very clean. The staff was everywhere because they had enough staff members to do whatever they were doing. The dining area was kind of small, but it was very nice, homey, and it made the residents feel together. They did not feel like they were spread out. They were very accommodating and nice. The staff member who showed me around was wonderful."

"Hi. Black Friday I strolled in to Harmony get some information -- I did not know I was the first live inquiry. At the time my mom was living in Stamford CT and was having more difficulty and it was apparent that the facility she was in would not be able to continue to take care of her -- She moved to the second floor of Harmony around April 1. What stands out is an ample and caring staff - and low low low staff to resident ration. the staff is fun, friendly, lively ---- and besides the care givers there are others around: nurse, housekeeping, dining services.. A trip around the floor is great exercise. The music was always playing -- the caregivers dancing with residents.. My mom passed just 6 weeks later and one of the most touching thing was that the staff dressed her and did her hair after she passed. I cannot imagine a nicer and more caring environment. "

"My mother stayed in Juniper Village at Paramus. It was very clean and professionally run. The staff was very attentive. The building was very nice, well-maintained, and very clean. It's a very pleasant environment. My mother had limitations. She needed a walker. She was in a PT program, so she wasn't someone that moved around very much, but they provided her physical therapy on-site, which was helpful in her attempted recovery. It was very expensive. I think it was over $8,000 a month."

"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."

"The community at CareOne is very nice. The nursing staff and the people who work there are very good, but it’s very expensive, and Mother has to share a room. The service and food is very good. They have programs for Alzheimer’s and dementia, but they need to increase those and allow access to the outside. "

"I was searching for assisted living facilities for my father and decided to look at 3 within a 10 minute drive of our home. Brighton Gardens was the first of the three I visited. Upon entering the parking lot I noted the beautiful grounds and welcoming entrance decorated appropriately for the season. Walking in I was greeted by a lovely receptionist who escorted me to the directors office, She offered me something to drink and chatted for awhile until the director arrived. Everyone was gracious and friendly. After speaking with the director, Donna, she confidently stated that she was certain that we would be choosing Brighton gardens. I was impressed with her confidence. I was shown the facility and as an RN myself I was looking for certain things. Were the areas clean neat and free of potential obstacles for those with canes, walkers etc.? Were the employees smiling and caring toward the residents? Were the accomodations spacious well kept without obnoxious odors, were there safety precautions? The answers were yes, yes and yes! Then the price would it be affordable..yes! The next step was to visit the 2 other facilites and then bring my dad and sister to the one I thought met all of our requirements and of course that my dad felt comfortable there. I left after that first visit with a positive impression. The other 2 facilites paled in comparison to Brighton Gardens! There was no question Brighton Gardens was the only choice. My dad and sister went for a tour and lunch and also loved it. My father did a one month trial and then decided to become a resident. He has thrived there. He is ambulating better and is much more communicative. He enjoys the meals and of course the afternoon cocktail. I would highly recommend this facility. i "

"The Allendale Community for Senior Living is excellent. The place is very clean, doesn't smell, and is beautiful. The staff is very friendly and they seem to be on top of everything. My mother-in-law enjoys the food and she says it's very good. She likes the beauty parlor and she does a lot of reading."

"This community was alright. They both had independent living and an assisted living facilities. I didn't like the apartment, they need to improve on the layout of the rooms. "

"I toured the Millennium Memory Care - Upper Saddle for my sister-in-law. I saw the whole place, but it is like a lockdown, so you can't come and go out of there. It was very clean and very orderly, and the residents seemed to be very happy there. It was a nice open space for them. The staff was also very nice. I didn't have any food there, but they said their kitchen is always open. It's in a residential neighborhood, which I thought was very interesting."

"Brighton Gardens is a very nice place, though I'm not sure it's perfect for my grandmother. The dining facilities are very nice. They have two seatings for the residents and the servers are really top-notch. I've come on a few occasions and been impressed with the atmosphere in the dining room. Also, my grandmother scheduled herself for the later lunch seating but is often hungry before that. They always find a place for her and never give her any grief for not coming at her scheduled seating.The nursing staff is only so-so. They are far from my grandmother's room and it seems like she can never get t them when she wants/needs them. Also, my grandmother was on a schedule for medication, but that basically means that she has to get to the nursing station at her medication time. Since missing her medication (even by an hour) can lead to an anxiety attack, I wish the nurses were more pro-active about seeking her out to give her medication as opposed to waiting for her to arrive. My grandmother needs a psychiatrist, but there is only one in house once a week who gives a 10-minute sessions. Clearly, that is not enough for a 92-year-old with multiple medical problems and medications.The grounds are nice enough. You can walk around outside and there is a nice enclosed patio. One problem is that the enclosed patio is often locked from the inside, so if you want to get back in, you need to hope that someone is around to open the door from inside. I have had some unpleasant experiences there with residents being annoyed when we tried to return to the building. "
