Independence Manor At Hunterdon

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.

My mother lives in this assisted living facility and she seems to love it. They take care of her every need. Lots of other residents her age that she plays bridge with and does all sorts of activities with. They even take her shopping every few weeks. As a visitor they make things quite pleasant. Her room is cheery and furnished with her own furnishings. The common areas are always clean and neat. The menus are always nice and my mother enjoys the food.

My mother, who is a widow, has lived at this assisted living facility for the past two years. She suffered a stroke about two years ago and was no longer able to live in her home which has a number of staircases. She was scheduled for a hip replacement, but had the stroke two weeks before the scheduled surgery, making the surgery now impossible. Living at the assisted living facility has given her new friends and many activities she would not be able to participate in if she still lived in her home. She is always busy with her bridge games and activities in the great room. When I want to visit it is very friendly and not a problem. Her rooms are nice and the staff helps her keep it clean. She eats all her meals in the dining room and enjoys the food very much. This is quite a complement coming from my mother as she used to own a restarunt! Over all it was sad when she had to leave her home, but I really beleive she is much happier where she is living now and better taken care of than she would have been alone at home.
