Senior Living in Salem County, NJ

"I visited 12 different senior living facilities before I chose Harbor Chase for my parents. I am so glad I did. The staff is genuinely caring and kind. The food is excellent and the entertainment committee goes above and beyond to ensure that the residents have a wide variety of activities and entertainment. The facility is small enough that the staff gets to know everyone and provides personalised care to the residents. I can't say enough good things about Harbor Chase!"

"My dad stayed at Sunrise Senior Living of Wilmington for respite care. It was an excellent facility. He loved it there. The staff members were all very open, helpful, and caring. The facility was very clean, very modern, and the structure was fine. There's a big list of activities, but I didn't see any of them. I know they had a men's group that my dad likes. The residents all seemed really happy. People were milling around socializing. It was really social. The size of the room was pretty. It was a twin-size bed, but there was plenty of room, the walk around the bed. His room was very bright and sunny. It was inviting."

"The room are a good size. The staff was great!"

"I liked Summit Place very much. It was a smaller community, but it's not going to be the one for us. It has no gym and nowhere for my husband to continue his therapy. They would have outside therapists come in, but they wouldn't have anybody in-house. It had mini-fridges, which would have been plenty for him. They're giving you three meals downstairs, and Lisa was wonderful. We looked at menus. It had the little square breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the week that you can pick. There were two choices of breakfast, two choices of lunch, and two choices of dinner. They offered soup every lunch. He liked soup for lunch, so that was a plus for him. It's a very nice facility. It's not as elegant as the other facility, but it was a very homey place and had nice, wide hallways. They didn't have a giant dining room. They had a smaller room for other things, such as game time and dining. I think they had 40, not even 39 rooms, maybe. A lot of the people there, one of them was 103 years old, and a lot of people there have been there for a very long time. Their children even end up going there."

"I am a resident, and I find it very, very nice. The people running it are doing their very best. They check on us and make sure that we have what we need. Right now, we're in the middle of the flu. They are still committed to each person here. I have to commend them for their diligence. They're always pleasant and care about the people here. They knew my name from day one and introduced themselves to me. We have Sunday services, and the food is superb. My body was created without a certain enzyme that causes me not to be well and unable to digest vegetables, and I get very ill. They can accommodate that in my menu without any problem. We have everything we need. I'm allowed to have my harp and violin. They have a grand piano, and I was allowed to play it. I have my private apartment. The activities are great. They try to keep us busy during the day with different things, like Scrabble games. We had a wonderful concert at Easter time. It was a local orchestra that came in and played and brought their instruments and their performers. They played a whole evening's worth of music for us, which was wonderful."

"I toured many facilities before I choose Terraces for my husband. The care he received and the kindness of all of the staff exceeded my expectations. Everyone - the Administrator, Lori, the nurses, aides, Activities Director, maintenance person, ladies at the front desk - all were so thoughtful and helpful. I believe that my husband got excellent care and when he went on Hospice and was going through his last days, the staff could not have been kinder or more accommodating. I highly recommend Terraces!!"

"amazing team and dedication to residents is very special. Crystal in Memory Care has been so caring and kind to my Mom and my family. It is nice to see this level of care offered and we are happy about our choice for Mom,"

"We toured Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle. The residents seemed happy because I talked to some of them. The staff has longevity, which means they like their job and very friendly. I like their movie room. I like the schedule of activities. My only concern with that place is that there's a distance between, depending on where my mother would get a room, it would be too far to get to the cafeteria, but I'm sure she'll be fine. Their hallways are long. She sometimes has a lot of pain. My only worry would be making sure she got down to the cafeteria because it's like a walk and then an elevator ride, but the cafeteria is lovely, even with the outdoor seating. The staff was great. The facility was good. There just seemed to be a slight odor, but I'm going to guess with diapers and incontinence, and stuff that would happen at any facility, but I felt it was pretty clean."

"We were very happy with All American at Washington Township. They were wonderful. The staff was amazing. We got to meet some of the residents, and they were very happy. It's a beautiful place, and I love that they have a rehab in there. We were very satisfied with it, and I'm going to check one more out just to clear that in my head and in my heart to make sure, but basically that's where we're going with. They've got semi-rooms, and one of my mother-in-law's siblings who is 91 said that it could be a good thing for her being in a semi-room. The location is great for us. The staff has been nothing but wonderful. Our first time with it, we did a virtual tour actually with Stephanie, then we contacted them a couple of weeks later and said we wanted to come in now if it was able, and we were able to come in with the COVID being lifted a little bit."

"My uncle and aunt moved to Brookdale Hockessin. It's more like a home and not like a hospital setting. It's very clean, and the people there are very caring. They've been there for a long time. So, they take pride in their jobs. My sister and I had dinner with them the first night. I only got to try one thing, but it was a little bit too salty for my taste. They've had activities. My aunt made a bracelet the other day. She was happy with that, and there was some music playing one day when I went in there, and my uncle was playing cards with his friends. So, the activities are good, and it's the cheapest and nicest place."

"We toured Woodbury Mews. Jerry was very courteous. We had lunch there. The food was excellent. The food was outstanding if that was something that you were looking for. The facilities were a little bit older, but everything had been upgraded in the unit. One thing that we didn't like was that they didn't have any balconies, verandas or patios, so that was negative for us. The units were smaller, with no kitchen, just a kitchenette. But they had a theatre, a huge craft area, and a very active activities program. The staff we met were all very friendly and accommodating."

"My mom moved into Tylers Mill Senior Living. I like it because it's more of a smaller type of facility with a lot of continued interaction with the other residents. The care and services have been great. The staff members were friendly. They have planned activities to keep them involved and engaged."

"Everyone at Cardinal Village was such a great help from the very start. Kristin made the transition for my grandmother seamless and kept in touch throughout her stay. The facilities are beautiful and well maintained. The staff was always very helpful and friendly as well!"

"The tour at Merrill Gardens at Glen Mills was excellent. It was very beautiful. The staff was gracious. They made you feel welcome. The person who did the tour was wonderful and very informative. They were very helpful, very pleasant, and very accommodating. What I've seen of the food, and what was I told about the chef and all, if I chose that place, I would be very happy."
