My husband with Lewy Body Dementia recently became a patient at Arden Courts West Orange. So far I am extremely happy with the care he has been given and the staff are extremely nice and always willing to help out as he can be a handful sometimes. The facility is lovely nad is very clean - his room is always tidy and bed made and the laundry done. My husband is not exactly able to participate in many activities. The grounds are lovely and we do sit outside alot when i visit. I am very happy and would recommend Arden Courts

I had a relative who lived in Arden Courts, West Orange for about 5 years and I have only positive things to say about the care, the staff and the overall outlook of this memory care residence. My relative was always taken care of in a dignified manner. She was dressed nicely, encouraged to participate in activities and if not, then left to do what she felt she wanted. Since the building is gated and locked for the resident's safety, they are free to step outside to the garden areas as well as walk within the community on their own without restriction. The care staff was always attentive and the activities varied which kept my relative busy throughout the day. The nursing staff was accessible and professional and went out of their way not to alarm me when they called for any reason. I would highly recommend Arden Courts for anyone looking for a comprehensive memory care community for their relative.

My aunt is a resident at Arden Courts. Finding this place has been the best thing to happen to her in a long time. She receives first-rate care (and I enjoy visiting her and sharing some of the activities with her). The medical staff is very attentive and keeps me advised of any potential problems. Staff members are expert in helping the residents get the most out of what they can still accomplish and enjoy activities - my aunt is particularly fond of the regular live music and enjoys singing along (which is actively encouraged). It has made my life easier as well, as I know she's getting the level of care she needs. It's an outstanding facility.

daughters at peace

Arden Courts in West Orange changed my mother's life for the better. When her dementia progressed and she could no longer live at home, my sisters and I researched a number of facilities, and Arden Courts in West Orange was a clear standout. My mother has been living there for 1.5 years. The nursing staff couldn't be better, as they understand the medical and psychological needs of their residents and are thorough and compassionate with their care. The entire staff has really gotten to know my mother and treats her with respect, kindness and love. My sisters and I visit our mother every day, and we witness the loving and skillful way the staff interacts with all the residents. My mother feels safe and is at peace, and there's no greater gift than that for her and her daughters. If you have a loved one who has dementia, I wholeheartedly recommend Arden Courts in West Orange!

We have found a facility for my husband. It is called Arden Courts. The whole building of Arden Courts is for memory care. Since they only do memory care, they are very good with people with Alzheimer's. The room is not carpeted; it has wooden floors. It has a private bathroom and a refrigerator. Activities are exercises, tossing games, and those types of things. Also, the food is very good.

My friend has been in care in Arden Courts since around Thanksgiving. We're very happy with the place. First of all, it's only for Alzheimer's and dementia. That's her problem, so it fits beautifully. I've been there any number of times. I know somebody else who was there, and I'd been impressed with the staff and the friendliness. The accommodation is simple, but it's adequate. A simple room, not all that big, and a private bath with a shower but no tub. It's all single rooms, and they have 4 wings. There are 14 people in their own wing. There is a living room available to her in each section of 14 people so that they can go into and sit in an easy chair and watch TV anytime. She has no complaints with the food. She has no praise. She is eating regularly, which she was not doing at home. They have social recreation. She is introverted and somewhat depressed and not inclined to participate too much, but they do get her out. She's not lying in bed all day as she was at home, and she watches television. I think she's less depressed there. The staff interaction with the residents is very good. There is a pat on the back or a good word. They go out of their way in that respect.
