Assisted Living Communities in Trenton, NJ

"Everything at Oxford Crossings was amazing. Carlen was extremely helpful and just had nothing but a ton of information for me, and it was all very helpful. The place was beautiful. The staff was amazing. The facilities were top-notch. It was a newer facility and had very high standards. The staff was just completely professional, very courteous, and very friendly. I was unable to sample a meal but they did show me a menu, and it seemed to be a rotating menu. They said special requests were also provided within reason, but it seemed like they go above and beyond for their residents. I was very impressed. I did meet the event coordinator, and she had a full list of activities."

"Legacy Gardens of Bristol is very nice. There's only 26 tenants in the whole place, so you know your residents are getting cared for because there's only a few people. So the ratio is awesome. They're very nice, I like them a lot, and I would highly recommend it. I love the staff, they're awesome. They're very nice, caring, and helpful. It's an awesome place, they take excellent care of my mother-in-law, and she seems happy there. So it's a win-win situation. I haven't eaten there, but she says that the food is good. It's clean, it's nice, even her hair and nails are neat. They have plenty of activities and stuff for them to do. They have movies, game nights, bingo, and they have music. You get a lot of value for the money and it's affordable. So it's definitely worth it. It's excellent care."

"I toured Maplewood at Princeton. It was nice, very bright, and clean. There were a lot of activities for the residents. It was like a luxurious hotel. It was beautiful. It's a nice place to be if you pick an assisted living facility. The person who took me around was very good."

"It is a not a new place but it's very nice and offers basically the same things as others. They have big rooms, each one with its own patio "

"I was really impressed. It was nice, bright and cheery. The staff was very friendly. There were no odors when I went into the different rooms. "

"I toured Holly House. The staff was very friendly. But we didn't like the fact that the room itself, didn't have any type of emergency in case a patient fell. My friend had to use his cell phone to contact the staff, which I didn't personally like, and neither did he. The staff who gave the tour was very friendly and very knowledgeable though. Overall, the place was pretty clean, a little outdated, but it was okay. We were given a tour of the dining area. The staff offered us something to eat but we declined. It looked like some of the residents that were eating were enjoying what they were having."

"My aunt has been in Holland Village rehab for a month, and she will go to their long-term care. Everything went well. She was happy there. Her room was nice. It was a private room and it was up-to-date and kept well. She ate in her room but she was happy with the food for sure. The staff was nice. The service was very good. It's just highly-priced."

"I visited here. It was different. The staff members were very nice and very friendly. I got to see the dining area and it was nice. It looked more like a restaurant. They had a refrigerator and a microwave in the room."

"Brookdale Northampton has been wonderful. When I first went in, I noticed that it was very nicely situated, the way that they had everything. The furnishings did not look anything like places that I had been. It was very furnished and it was super clean. All the residents were sitting, chatting with each other out front, sitting at tables in the sun, which is something my mother-in-law loves to do. I was invited to go and see the dining room and people were still in there. I got to say hello, and ask them how their lunch or dinner was, and they all answered. It wasn't that old age environment. I saw the room and she's close to the elevator. She uses a walker, but she's close to the elevator and close to the dining room. They made everything the way I really want it; that is exactly what we had hoped for. They really worked with us pricewise. Financially, she can afford to go in there, but they broke everything down so that nothing's a surprise. I did not feel they were pushy or saying like, "You got to sign this." Nothing like that. She gave me a nice booklet that shows pictures, all their rates, everything was upfront. I didn't feel there was anything hidden about it, so I was very happy with that. They showed me their activity area and their craft area. They have like a main hotel or entertainment area, a little stage that they sit at every now and then. They have entertainment but they use it for other things. They have games and a beautiful library. She showed me at the end of each hall that there's a nice gathering place where at night people may sit and talk. There's a big TV, and in a couple of different areas they can watch the baseball game. That's the type of things I know my mother-in-law would like. I was very happy with everything that they showed. I think they were very open."

"I visited Oakwood Residence. My problem with that one was that I had macular degeneration, and they had an awful lot of wood paneling; that was not good for my eyes. The person who toured me around was the one in-charge of Oakwood, and he was very informative. They served us lunch. I had tour of the room, and the hallways had paneling. When I walked in, it was dark, and with my eyesight, I need more light. However, the people were wonderful. They were friendly. The food was good. They did everything they could to make us feel welcome. "

"My mother moved into Brookdale Monroe. It's a beautiful community. One of the many things that I like about it is that it's very nice-looking and welcoming. The staff is very hard working, and I'm happy with the services they provide. We have eaten there a couple of times before we picked them, and the food is very tasty. They had a beautiful holiday party a couple of weeks ago and had amazingly wonderful food for a large crowd of people. They have a number of activities, and every day they have something going on like bingo, movies, and things like that. It's my mom's choice whether she's joining in or not. They're doing a very nice job. It's a little pricey, but what can you do."

"Amazing staff & facility . The transition for my Mother in law to the facility , from her home was so easy !

I would highly recommend this facility for any Assisted Living needs !

"Millennium Memory Care at Monroe was absolutely lovely. The patients looked well groomed, happy, and properly cared for. We didn't pick them because they're far from us."

"Brookdale Hillsborough was great. They let us sample the food, and then we saw the menu. We met with the person in charge of the kitchen. They were all very nice. The facility was good. I thought the staff members were great. It wasn't the fanciest place that we visited."
