Mira Vie at East Brunswick

Anonymous

We had to pull our mom out of Mira Vie in East Brunswick because she was not getting the appropriate care. Infection disease control is lacking. Our mom got acutely ill, and the staff was unaware of it. The aides have attitudes and do minimal work,

My parents stayed here for about three years. It was generally a good experience. We had a few problems along the way that I had to complain about as far as the housekeeping was concerned, but my parents were happy there. The food and the care were good. They had plenty of activities and kept them busy. They did very well during COVID. They lost a few people, but generally, most people stayed healthy. They were very careful about it. They had a separate dining room where you could go into the dining room if you visited your family and wanted to eat with them. It was very expensive.

When I went here, I saw staff interacting with the residents, which I liked. I kind of felt like I had to see something like that to see how they treated the residents. They were all very friendly. The residents even said hello to me. It was a nice community. I'm leaning more towards that one only because mom has about two years to pay out of pocket, and if she's a little short, they'll work with me. That's the conversation I had with the people. I want to make sure that they would have a room for my mom when she switches over to Medicaid. They also have people in-house that I could deal with for that transition when that happens. The woman was very nice. Every question I asked her, she had an answer. When you go visit, on your way out, they give you a little box and it's something from their bakery that the chef made and this happened to be a blueberry muffin and it was delicious. I didn't save it for anyone. I ate the whole thing myself. The facility was very clean, very new, and very updated. They had beautiful flooring down. They have a hair salon, and they have certain doctors come in like podiatrists and things like that for the residents. They have their cable TV, and they try to keep them out of their rooms and involved in all kinds of little activities there, bingo, baking, stuff like that.

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.
