We're going to Seabrook Retirement Community. It's very well-maintained and very professional. There were lots of people moving around and doing different things. The apartments looked great. The staff were all very professional. The food was excellent. With regards to activities, you name it, they offer it. They have health programs and entertainment. They offer everything.

My mother has been a resident for the past two years, and it has been a blessing until recently. We were charmed by the large community room with the fire place in the Harbor Lights Building. The residents loved to play games and do puzzles on the tables. We brought grandchildren to the large room to visit since it was an open and inviting space. The library was fun to visit, and we would help mom choose books. The little room off the community room was for little parties or groups to gather. The administration decided to take away the library, community room and the side rooms to make more dining space. In fact they said they want a bar there. People don't eat ALL day - what a terrible decision. A bar needs a fire place? The halls were soft blue and sea green to match the shore theme. The administration has decided to repaint the halls to tan and brown and grey. Nothing soothing and pleasing. A business building not a home style. No survey was ever done' to see what the residents thought. We chose Harbor Lights since it was cheery and inviting over the newer building with the dark bar and dull sitting /community area. WE WOULD NOT HAVED MOVED our mom into this place if we knew this would have happened. Sadly, the residents talk about it and are very sad.

I toured Seabrook Retirement Community. They have everything there. What I like about them is the tunnel. You can walk from building to building in a glassed-in tunnel. You can go to lunch or whatever, you just walk through the tunnel. I found the place to be very large but well equipped. I like the fact they have an indoor pool. They have many lessons and different kinds of activities for the residents all day long. Generally, I just like the atmosphere. The staff was fine. I also like that they offer a move-in thing where they help you move into the place, which is my big problem. I remembered seeing some exercise activity going on there. They had a gym and a whirlpool. The staff member who gave me the tour was very informative and very nice. I looked at several of these places, and this is the one that I liked the best.

If I could give ZERO stars I would. Our mom moved to an independent apartment at Seabrook in May of 2005. Her experience there was, for the most part, good. When the time came for her to require additional care around 2018, it was a chore for me to arrange for the staff to provide, even though we were willing and able to pay. Finally able to coordinate, but sometimes the aides just came in, sat and left after their paid time. Others, however, went above and beyond to provide care. Note that I lived close by and was there 5 out of 7 days per week to check. When she finally had to go into Continuing Care, that's when everything just fell off the cliff. "Continuing Care" should be called "Doesn't Care". Even with my brother and I there most days advocating, the level of care she received was abysmal Outside hospice during her last 4 days provided more than the onsite staff provided in the prior 2 months she was there. Now, onto reimbursement of Escrow. Don't hold your breath! Our mom passed in February 2020. My brothers and I cleared her apt completely and turned the keys in the first week of March 2020. Got a clean bill of health so to speak on the apt then. I knew that we would still be charged 3 months worth of maintenance after that, according to her contract. Fast forward, Covid shut everything down for at least 1 1/2 years. No apartments were being shown for sale. My family recognized and accepted this. By mid 2021 I started calling the sales office to see if there was any news about the resale of her apt. Took several calls into them for them to finally get back only to let me know nothing was happening. Started reaching out in 2022 again, to be told her apt was being included in open houses for showings. All this time I was in contact with our Mom's friends and they were the first to tell me that in Nov 2022 someone was living in our Mom's apt. No word from Seabrook. After multiple calls to Seabrook sales, they confirmed that indeed someone had moved into her apt. Called Seabrook Finance, who finally confirmed such, but advised that the new resident moved in on a Promissory Note which had not been settled to facilitate the redemption of our Mom's escrow. When I questioned, the Director of Finance cited clauses in agreements that allowed this. When I looked at our Mom's particular agreement and replied that her agreement cited nothing like that ( it was a 2005 agreement) and advised that I was going to bring in our Estate attorney to follow up, suddenly it happened that our refund was going to be expedited. So, if you are looking to have you or your loved ones move into Seabrook BEWARE. Short term independent living is acceptable. Additional care either in independent living or in Continuing care is not. Then, the refund of Escrow process leaves much, very much to be desired. When our Mom moved in 2005, escrow was a 100% refundable option. Now, it is at 90%, the language of which is included in the contract. Be sure to take notice of the language in the contract. I have to say that dealing with the corporate parent, Erickson's escrow department, has been a breath of fresh air. They are working with me to expedite the refund and actually call and email back to me in a timely fashion, unlike Seabrook in Tinton Falls. It appears that they don't have to answer about their incompetence, either in their admin office, or independent living or continuing care to their corporate parent.

There were many things that we liked about Seabrook Retirement Community. First of all, you start by purchasing a studio with a kitchen and it goes all the way up to 3-bedrooms with a living room and so forth. You can do anything with your apartment since you already purchased it. So, you can change the showers or the bath if you want to. They have multiple restaurants on site. They have one restaurant that's family-friendly and the food is excellent. It is like a little city. They have plays, classes, history-type classes, a theater, a gym, two pools, and a CVS Pharmacy. They have doctors on site who practice there. The whole thing was a dream place. It is not as expensive as some of the others, but it is expensive. The good thing about it is if you run out of money when you're living there, they let you live there for free. The place was immaculate and everybody was super friendly. A lot of people seem to be moving there in their early 60s. There are just a lot of activities and they provide transportation to anywhere you want to go. And if you would need more care, they hire a nurse for what you need at that time. Your needs can be met depending on what they are. And then you can also go into memory care in the same facility. The staff was very nice and very down to earth. They made me very comfortable. I felt you could trust the facility to take care of someone that you love.

Seabrook Senior Living is better than anything I ever imagined. It is very clean and they are very aware of the needs of seniors. They provide a lot of help if they need walking, balance assistance, or medical assistance since they have it all right there. So I find it very comforting to know I'll be going there. I thought the staff members were very, very young, but they're all professionals. I spoke with a financial person yesterday and a social worker, because they talk to you before you come in so that you don't feel strange there. And they recommend different things that you could do while you're there so that you're satisfied. They also provide doctors if anybody needs a new doctor, which I do because I'm changing my family doctor. I'm going to have a 1-bedroom apartment, and I'll have a little kitchen, a bedroom, and a living room. They do arts and crafts, bingo, an indoor swimming pool, and a gymnasium to work out. They have a bocce court and they have lovely walking paths around the pond so it's very convenient. You can also bring your car. I saw three or four different staff people. They were knowledgeable about what they were discussing with me like finances and my physical condition, and I would say they were adequate. The place is very attractive looking. You have a choice of two restaurants and you could also go to a little cafe that's in the building.
