Independence Manor At Hunterdon

I have been in Independence Manor Hunterdon and it's all assisted living. I went there two weeks ago and I've worked hospice, so I've been there in that capacity. I have been a hospice volunteer and sometimes they would send me to Independence Manor. It looks clean. They have several sitting areas for residents to relax, do puzzle activities, or watch movies or TV. They have a dining room that families can reserve for special occasions. They have different levels of rooms, from studio to two-bedroom. They have library shelves with many books and a puzzle room. They have some areas where they have birds in cages. The staff who assisted me was lovely. She answered all our questions and was very willing to spend time with us. I know that they have a lovely dining room and three meals a day. I looked at the menu and it looked good. There's fish, meat, and all that. I know that they have activities because I saw the activity schedule. They have chair yoga, t’ai chi, bingo, and spiritual offerings for different denominations. There seemed to be quite a bit to choose from. I've only seen a few assisted living places. I'm sure many are very, very glamorous and newer, but this one was not shabby. It was clean and nicely decorated.

We are on the waitlist for my mom at Independence Manor At Hunterdon. They are very accommodating. We like them. The facilities seemed nice. The proximity to where I live is much better than a lot of the other places. It is a little pricier, but there is a trade-on. They have 1-bedrooms and studios. The 1-bedroom has a small living area and a dedicated bathroom. The staff members seemed knowledgeable, professional, and upbeat about their community. The place is clean and well cared for.

Independence Manor was not really that big. They had a lot of good activities like crafts, and they have buses to take the residents downtown. The food was also really good. They had an exercise room, a hairdresser, a physical therapy room, and they also have a special unit for Alzheimer's patients with a locked ward. A lot of groups come in to sing and bring in church services or programs. They had a big Grandparent's Day and a very nice musical band that came for that.

Good recommendation and it was close by was the reason why we chose Independence Manor for my mom. She has been there almost a month now. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is okay and the facility itself is beautiful. She has a one bedroom apartment with a small kitchenette. Mom plays bingo and scrabble. She also goes to concerts there.
