The Best Senior Living Communities in Egg Harbor City, NJ

"The rooms at Spring Oak were nice and large. They had a one-bedroom with a bedroom and a living room. My father was going to have a private room, but they didn't have the care for him. They had a lot of different activities every day. The memory care unit had their own dining hall and little kitchen. They had activities going on all through the day and trips. It was a nice facility. I would like him to be there, but it didn't work out that way."

"From the moment I drove past Juniper Village I knew I had to pull in and see it for myself. It is a beautiful building and gorgeously landscaped, but it still felt like I was pulling up to a home, not a facility. There is something about the hanging flower baskets and wooden rocking chairs on the porch that make you feel welcome, in fact invited. After I greeted the smiling faces around me, reading papers and working on needle points I stepped inside. It was not at all anything less than I had imagined, which is rather hard to find these days. The walls were covered in an elegant yet warm colored wall paper, with sconces and pictures lighting the halls. The carpet wasn't linoleum, it was carpet in a facility. I was immediately rushed with staff who all dotted smiling faces and outreaching hands asking if there was anything, anything at all they could help me with. I had literally walked in off the streets and they were acting as if I were some long lost cousin they had finally been reunited with. For me, the magnificent facility says a lot but it certainly doesn't say it all. For me it was those faces, those faces of happiness and contempt rocking on the chairs on the porch that I will never forget. "

"I visited Juniper Village at Washington Square and toured their assisted living. It was lovely, but the rooms were on the second and third floors and my brother did not like that. He wanted to be on the ground floor. The place was beautiful, though. The food was wonderful and everybody was very pleasant. All the rooms we saw were very nice, too. The staff who assisted us was pleasant. They have a lot of activities. They take groups out to places, there's a place to play cards, and there's a little coffee kitchen with different kinds of coffee. It's lovely. They served me a meal, which was wonderful. It was like going to a restaurant."

"I toured. I was very happy with what I saw so far. The staff was very friendly. I got to speak with several people at the place. They gave me their schedule of activities, which looks nice. So we're going to set something up for my mom to go over, have lunch, check out the activities, and such. There were a couple of folks that were working on some puzzles. They have a craft room where they do their crafts and their activities."

"I liked Cardinal Village a lot. The people who worked there were very nice, very friendly, and very accommodating. The apartments were perfect for me since I wanted a small apartment. The grounds and location were both excellent. They invited me for lunch, and their food was very good. "

"We went to see All American at Washington Township and looked at their assisted living. I would say it's nice. The person who accommodated me was very informative, answered all our questions, and showed us all the areas in the facility. The room was bigger than I expected. The was no furniture there, it was just an empty room, but it was a decent size. It was clean and had a nice-sized bathroom. There wasn't anybody dining in the dining area when we saw it, but it was a decent-sized dining room. We saw a screening room where they were watching a movie. There was also an art room where they were doing art projects. In the common area they were playing music for the residents."

"The place is very nice, and the staff is very informative at Brookdale Evesham. They answered all of my questions. I saw the rooms, which were all very nice. "

"CareOne at Evesham was fabulous. It was my favorite. The facility was beautiful. It had a great open feel when you walked in and all the residents seemed happy. They were actually in the middle of doing activities in the main community room when we were there. The actual apartments were very nice and a good size. The staff was very cheery. The woman who gave us the tour was so thorough, upbeat, and informative. They got a beautiful dining room, a nice physical therapy area, and laundry services available. Everything looked clean and well cared for."

"We toured Marlton Gardens Gracious Retirement Living. It's brand new and has a lot more amenities than what we need, but it's very attractive. The tour we had was very, very, thorough. The staff was excellent. I only met the person in charge, and I was very impressed by him."

"I went to look at Brookdale Echelon Lake. I liked that my sister would have her own room and a little bathroom. She will sit at a dining table and gets to choose what she wants to eat. It has a better atmosphere. She doesn't sit in her room all day. She can move around. It's on the first floor. They provide assistance. They have nurses. The staff members were all very nice. It seems like there is a pleasant and quiet atmosphere there. The facility was clean. It's set up on a lake, which is nice. You could go outside. It seemed to be organized. It's a secured building. You can't just walk in."

"I have to say after staying here that compared to the other facilities I have worked with, this is the best regarding patient care, friendliness of staff, and therapy."

"Summit Place is perfect, clean, and homey. The service is great, and the people are accommodating. "

"My mother is now in a nursing home and doing quite well. She is at St. Mary's Catholic Home. We transferred her there because it is close to the family. She has excellent care there. She is in a semi-private room and it has one bathroom. They have an excellent rehab program and she has made tremendous progress. They have a nice dining room. They have excellent food there. They have plenty of activities. They have daily Mass and rosary. Then they have bingo, they have musicians come in and they throw birthday parties. They have outside activities in the gazebo. They have quizzes and movie nights. Everyday there is like four or five different things. The facility is in the beautiful residential neighborhood. There are plenty of grounds to walk around. It is quite a large facility with different buildings depending on the need. My mother's nursing care is excellent. She has an assigned aide for each shift. It is nice because they get to know the patient. All in all I would give this place a 5-star rating because of their quality and consistency of care. The staff is very friendly. The administrative staff is friendly and very helpful. "

"I am a resident of Royal Suites. I love the nurses who take acre of me. I appreciate and love the activity staff. I like to keep busy, and they make sure I have my volunteer work to do. Tracy, the nurse manager, is so nice."
