The Best Senior Living Communities in Morristown, NJ

"The community that stood out to me was Juniper Village at Chatham. It was gorgeous. It was very classy and very well maintained. The amenities and seating areas were lovely, but it was way out of our price range. If we could have afforded, that's where I would send my father. The staff who gave the tour was extremely helpful and delightful, but she wouldn't be the one interacting with my father. The place was very clean."

"While looking for options of senior citizens assistance for my parents I got to Livia. Customer agent via web chat was kind and helpful in providing answers to my queries. As son of senior/ederly parents I want to provide them a wonderful and more enjoyable life for the rest of the time that GOD may have planned for them. Customer agent was very attentive, so I hope the rest of the personnel is as good as him or even better. That would provide a sense of trust and confidence that your love ones will be in good hands."

"My mom has been at the Country Home for several years. The staff at the Country Home (and the other residents) have given my mom a new lease on life. When she entered the CH, her every day was a living nightmare. She woke up every day upset, anxious, and suffering from delusions that her (deceased) parents were in trouble and needed help or that my (decreased) father was holding her captive. For the first month or so, she suffered from similar delusions, but with the dedicated help of the staff at the Country Home, she slowing but surely became happy again. She became part of the community at the Country Home. She made friends and the caring staff helped her to find joy in her life. She still suffers from dementia. She still has delusions that lead her to believe things that are not true. However now, on most days, the delusions are about good things like her parents being alive and her wanting to throw an anniversary party for them. On the days when the delusions are bad, the staff help steer her back to a better place. She is almost always happy when we come to see her, which we do a couple of times a week since live close by. I will be forever indebted to the staff (and the other residents) for making it possible for my mom to happy life during this difficult stage of her life."

"I like that Brookdale Florham Park was clean and that it had activities. We like it. We also liked that it was close to my mother-in-law's house. They have a microwave and a refrigerator in the units. The person who took me around was very nice. She was very good. They also had a courtyard outside."

"I toured the Sunrise of Mountain Lakes. It's a new place in New Jersey and I looked at their assisted living. I liked everything about it. My sister is in a wheelchair and the facility is large so I think it would accommodate her better. She has a larger wheelchair and the apartments there has a lot more room to move around when you're in it. If you need the Hoyer lift, that's available there too. There's also room in the living room and the bedroom to be able to use the Hoyer lift. She doesn't need one right now, but if any time she needs it, it will be available. The bathroom has a large shower, enough that you could get a wheelchair in there to transfer the person onto a seat. In the kitchenette area, you can pull right up to the sink to wash your hands or wash a cup. They accommodate people a lot better there and everything is more accessible to people who are in a wheelchair. The whole place is new and the person that I spoke to was very accommodating as far as giving me information and showing me around. The day I was there, there was a fire alarm that went off and they were all apologetic. I said, "Oh, no. I'm happy and this is perfect because I can see how you take care of your people here." They were really quick and were able to make sure everyone was safe. What happened was there was a problem in the laundry room but it was very nice to see that all the employees were everywhere right away. Certain things came down to block the people so that they don't go wandering off during a fire drill. I felt that it was very educational for me. I did not make an appointment so when I walked in, I asked the girl at the reception desk if I could speak to this person. When that person came out, she said my name right away and said, "Thank you for coming all the way up from Florida" like she knew who I was. It was also not one of those things where I had to wait a few minutes and have her look me up before she came out to greet me. I thought that was very nice."

"My sister was a resident of CareOne at Parsippany Assisted Living. It's very well-kept and very clean. It's very bright. There's a lot of windows in their facility. All the rooms from the main first floor have several large windows where people go to eat, talk, and do different events like games and bingo and things like that. The staff was very caring, hands-on, and professional. As for the activities, there are a number of them. Every day they have at least one thing, if not multiple things. She told me the food was really good and healthy. They gave you options."

CareOne at Livingston Assisted Living also features a dedicated Harmony Village unit, where senior residents who have Alzheimers disease, dementia or other memory conditions receive specialized memory care while living their lives to the fullest in a supportive community. CareOne at Livingston Assisted Living shares its campus with CareOne at Livingston nursing and rehabilitation center, offering a complete continuum of care.

"I spoke to a very nice woman at Sunrise of Randolph. The place was beautiful, but my friend is looking for a temporary short-term stay over the winter and most places don't offer that. He's looking to stay in December, January, February, and March, and Sunrise here in Randolph doesn't do that. When I went there, they gave me a background on what they do and the cost model that they're in. I looked in general at the facility and the conversation I had and the people I met were just wonderful, very helpful, very caring, and understood the situation that I explained to him about my friend and his needs. They recommended other places for me to call to see if they did what he was looking for. The place was very pleasant and very clean. In general, the people were just very nice and helpful and good to talk to. It's been an education for me. The facility was excellent. I did see people going back from lunch and they looked very happy. It was a very good experience. The building was very nice."

"Corinne was very knowledgeable and guided us through the many living options and variable prices of this new community. She listened to what our specific needs were. She has followed up with several emails to see if she could further assist us, without making it feel like a high pressured sales pitch-which it certainly wasn’t. This community won’t be available till Dec/Jan so. O final decision has been made."

"I am so grateful to Sunrise of Summit and the team. Mom and I researched many places and Summit Sunrise felt most like home. Mom is very independent , creative, fun and an amazing artist and oftentimes shy to display her work. Sunrise created an art show featuring mom and other resident artists. The champagne event was well attended and was a huge boost to Mom who is looking forward to the next opportunity to display her work and collaborate with like minded residents. Mom has blossomed socially and smiling all the time Prior to Sunrise, Mom lived alone and then with me and especially with COVID, was feeling understandably very isolated. I could have never imagined how important it was to be with a community of peers and social opportunities. Because the community is new, her apartment is modern and chic-just like Mom. The staff maintains her room and does laundry etc which Mom loves (I did not think she would). I can’t thank the staff and community enough for creating such a wonderful environment for Mom Mom has her tribe!"

"I liked Mira Vie at Montville very much out of all the ones that I've seen. It was very warm and inviting. The staff was very friendly and it pretty much had everything that my mom would need. The facilities were very, very clean. It's not a brand new facility but everything seems to be well-maintained and very spacious. The lady who gave the tour was very good, too."

"I liked the concept of Fox Trail Memory Care Living-Montville. They only had six people in the whole house. It was a very good concept of having a building with just maybe 14 or 15 people in it. Other than that, I thought it was not nearly as nice as the other two facilities I visited, and they just didn't have much going on there. The rooms that I saw were very spartan. They had an area where there were some women who were playing bingo. What we saw was nice, but they don't have a gym or anything like that. They have somebody that comes in to do the hair though. Everything was clean."

"Spring Hills has exceptional activities staff. Speaking as a family member of a resident in the memory care section, known as Spring Cottage, I can say that the activities staff are incredible. They provide physical activity such as chair yoga and group exercise, as well as involve the Spring Cottage residents in events, BBQs, and other activities held in the community. They are really incredible at keeping them engaged! Well done."

"We toured Sunrise of Basking Ridge. It's a possibility. It was very nice. They gave me a lot of information. I saw a one-bedroom; it was very big and good. The place looked nice. It was clean, and it was kept well. The dining area was clean, neat, and very nice. They have a library, a salon, and an activity room. However, there is no pool or gym."
