"The rooms are well-maintained and clean and comfortable. There is a wide variety of choices for food at every meal. Gabby and the entire staff are so incredibly kind and welcoming."

"I would like to thank Rayna and her staff for the great job there doing during the Coronavirus. Rayna is keeping me informed about my brother Dennis. Whenever I call I am informed about what’s going on with my brother. So please just keep doing what you and your staff are doing, because I know he is in good hands. Ray M. and family"

"I went to Brighton Gardens of Middletown. Everybody was friendly. I like that they had the animals in there. The price is kind of steep though. The staff I spoke with was very nice and helpful. The facility was clean. The size of the rooms was nice and good. It's near restaurants, and the hospital is not that far."

"I went down to Quality Home Residence yesterday, and I didn't like what I saw. I didn't want to live in a private house like that. I don't like that. I live in a palace. It's beautiful here. We have a nice apartment here. I didn't like the area at Quality Home Residence. I'm a veteran, and I'm going to pursue a place where Veterans would pay most of it. However, $4200 a month living in that place is ridiculous. Where I'm living now, I don't spend that kind of money. It's like a house in a rural area. I went down there, and the grass is growing in the yard. I'm not looking for anything like that. I would rather stay where I'm at, which is nice, and have in-home care for a couple of days a week, just to give me a break. It would be much cheaper because the VA will pay for four hours for five days, and it's not costing me anything out of my pocket. The staff was good. They tried to explain everything to us, but after I saw the place, I didn't want to live in a house. I looked around, and I found this other place down here in Monroe Township, affordable housing for seniors. It's nice, and it's a luxury thing. To go down to Quality Home Residence is like going backwards. We are in our 80s, and we want to make sure that we live comfortably. They didn't have any amenities, and in the area, the grass needed cutting. People were sitting on a porch. They could improve the appearance of the house. It's clean and everything."

"This home was absolutely beautiful and felt like an extension of my home. It isn't grand or overly big but I personally find that to be better, especially for my purpose in visiting the home."

"The staff at Tower Lodge Care Center cars for our mother as if they were their own. We are very grateful for their compassion, their smiles, and their kindness. Bless them all!"

"Villas of Holmdel was a new facility. It was well organized and it had a separate wing for memory care. They had resources 24 x 7 if the residents should have an issue. The place was safe. The menus were appropriate for their residents. The staff was knowledgeable and willing to help."

"My experience was very nice. The rooms were also very nice. They seemed very upscale to me. They have short trips with the bus to take them to see different things that are happening in the area. They have doctors on-site. The staff seemed very sociable. The dining area was very nice. It was pretty meticulous."

"I went on a tour of Seaton Ocean Grove for a friend. It has very nice rooms, very open, and is pleasant around the surroundings. They had good windows and good visibility. There is an ocean view. There is good space around where the tenants or people who live there can go and just relax, or go for a walk. So there's a lot of things going on. You can get around and you can enjoy a lot of things very easily. And if they need to use transportation, there's Uber and cars that can take them and bring them back reasonably. The staff is very pleasant and knowledgeable. The facility was very well kept and the accessibility was very good."

"My father in law has been a resident at the Villas for over two years. During the past two years the amazing staff have embraced him like one of their own which as you can imagine takes tremendous amount of anxiety off a family. For a resident who is going to be 96 you can only imagine the comfort that he feels from all of the attention that he is receiving. Over the past two years he had a number of health and wound issues nonrelated to the facility that have required a significant amount of attention by the nursing team. This has been addressed not only timely but by constant updates to the family on the status of his wound care and health status on a regular basis, sometimes daily, sometimes weekly. The wound program led by Joy has been amazing, attentive and proactive in facilitating wound healing. The wound program includes daily monitoring, treatment, weekly wound rounds with a Nurse Practitioner, and nutritional assessment with the Registered Dietician. What a relief for him not to have to leave the facility for any additional treatment. The entire Nursing Team including Laquasia, Joy, Sue, Becka, and others treat him like their own family member. The nursing team are continuously monitoring him and are accessible and responsive to any questions or concerns we as a family have. My father-in-law is not an overly social person however the activity team led by Kristin get him up and engaged and “smiling” which is by no means an easy feat. The Villas does an amazing job with their big events including a Luau last month complete with a “hula dancer” and this month Octoberfest for the residents and families which included arts and crafts, petting zoo and face painting which was enjoyed by all. My father in law is not the easiest however he goes into the dining room and the dining staff immediately meet his nutritional requests with constant attention. Overall, as a family we feel that we have made the right choice in choosing The Villas as a home for our family member and couldn’t be happier."

"My mother moved into Sunrise of Wall. The experience has been very good. It's very clean, updated, and the staff is fantastic. She has no complaints about the food. They take them to the boardwalk, they take them shopping, they have independent exercises, events, it's been scaled down 'cause of COVID, but nonetheless they still keep her busy."
