The Best Nursing Home Communities in Gloucester County, NJ

"I am a resident of The Philadelphia Protestant Home. They have everything you need. The food is good. It's near where I live. The nurses are well-trained. It's just top-notch. It's very clean, and bright, well-lighted, and the elevators worked."

"I toured the Deer Meadows Retirement Community. It was accommodating. It was comfortable, and the people there seemed very happy to be there. It was pretty clean. It was decent, like I walked into the dining room, I was impressed. I have multiple sclerosis, so I used a rollator. They were very accommodating with letting me in and helping to find someone to help push me around. The dining room was beautiful. It's nice. I love the dining room. I saw the mailbox and activity room. They had a little foyer when you came in, and there's a lot of presents sitting there."

"I went to Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park. The way they work is you can move into independent living, and then you can stay in that same apartment and do assisted living. We looked at one apartment, but I think it could have become both. You don't have to move out of your apartment until your assisted living gets to an extreme level. I was dazzled. I was disappointed that my father-in-law was not willing to move in that day. I would move in there. It feels very homey while at the same time it's extremely professional. I would describe it as very luxe. They have a beautiful courtyard. Everything is spotless. Any time we walked past a staff member with the tour guide, he knew their name, he introduced us, and they chit-chatted. It all felt very friendly and very genuine. It was great. We were in the dining room, and then they had a separate cafe. There are a few different places to get food. We looked at a couple of different menus, but we didn't try anything."

"Foulk Living has been caring for my parents like family! Their rooms are comfortable. The food is delicious and plentiful. But the best part about Foulk Living is the staff! My mother has dementia and has been at Foulk Living for over a year. Her nurses treat her with respect and dignity. She is dressed and clean. They interact with her to stimulate her brain. They love her in our absence. My father was brought to Foulk Living after rehab for a broken hip. Sadly, he was too weak to recover from his surgery. The staff at Foulk were so attentive to my father’s needs in his final days. Not only did they care for him, they cared for us as his family. We were encouraged to spend as much time with our father as we felt necessary. They made sure we ate and explained everything that was happening every step of the way. They even made sure that my mom was brought to my dad’s side so that they can have time together. They love my family and care for them physically as well as emotionally. Never did I expect the level of care and love we have experienced! Foulk Living and the staff are top notch. We could not have asked for a better partner in taking care of our parents during the difficulties of their lives!! Thank you Foulk Living for loving my parents and caring for us all!!!"

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

"We visited the Masonic Village at Burlington's independent living for my friend. The person who took us on the tour was very pleasant. The apartment was gorgeous, and the grounds were just beautiful. We didn't eat there, but we did see the dining room, and it looked nice. It looked like a restaurant with linens. Their lunch area was sort of like a deli where you order what you want, and the food looked delicious. The size of the rooms was huge. They were very big and beautiful. I liked it, and I was impressed."

"I went to Juniper Village at Bucks County and I was greeted properly. They've got very nice people. The place was clean. They showed us several apartments, several of the crafts that they were doing, the restaurant, and the menu. Everything was great. They have studios, one bedrooms, and two bedrooms. The staff during the tour was very nice. They have a church on the premises. The buy-in was cheap. We tried to set up several luncheons, but we weren't able to do that."

"We went to quite a few places and United Methodist Communities at Pitman seemed to be the one that was the most caring. They just seemed to get along with all the residents and it seemed like a very happy, open, and well-run place. The staff was more than excellent. My mother-in-law is going into nursing care and it's going to be two people in a room. They seemed fine. They each have a bureau. They each have a closet and they can bring a chair into the room. It seemed very clean and it was nice. They had a common area with couches. They also had a television room with chairs and they had few dining rooms. They had a rehabilitation area for therapy. I spoke to quite a few people that know of this place and they had nothing but rave reviews about it."

"Spring Hills Post Acute is bright and beautiful and designed to assist elderly individuals recover while enjoying their stay. While other centers do not allow family to stay with the patients, this administration welcomed family members. The private suites had pull out sofa beds in the rooms for convenience. The food served at the Bistro was average but one could choose a made to order meal from a daily menu. The staff went above and beyond in providing me with exemplary care namely: CRNP Kelly, PT Stefan and Jester, RNs: Sister D. and Charlene, Concierge Annalynn, Aides: Kenny and Crystal, Activity: Mia, Tiffany, Vaughn, Bistro/kitchen: Hosefeena, Housekeeping: Kim et al. Dean from Administration was Top Notch in handling our medical concerns with prompt and efficient care.. Because of the outstanding staff, wonderful activities, immaculately clean and bright environment, excellent physical, occupational, speech therapy, and many amenities which all lead to wellness in life, I highly recommend this place!"

"My mom was at Deptford center for rehab after a fall. The staff was so nice and caring. Her rehab was fantastic and she’s now doing well on her own at home. "

"We chose Shady Lane because it is a nursing home and for the kind of care that my grandmother needed, that was a top priority for us. Also the location was within 5 miles from my home, so it ended up working out for us. My grandmother did well there. She did very well. It was close to her, so knowing that the staff there was local, she did know some people there. They were the staff who knew her from growing up, so it made it a lot easier for her. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with it. They do so many activities with them all the time, all day long. They make sure no matter they would pull her out of her room and say, "you're coming." They have a singer come in a couple of times a week. They take her down to the salon; they get her hair and nail done. They make it as comfortable and as homey as possible. It works out for my grandmother; they are really, really good. "

"ProMedica Skilled Nursing-West Deptford was very nice. Mom's room is clean and neat and has everything she needs. The staff is wonderful. They are very caring and very kind. They've been amazing to mom. She's in the subacute rehab right now and she's being transitioned to long-term care so as far as activities, she's been having physical therapy and occupational therapy twice a day. She has dementia so I kind of rely on the nurses to tell me what she's been doing. So, they'll have a movie night or they go where they can get their nails painted, those sorts of things. She doesn't eat very much, but the food that I've seen looks OK. She eats it. It's well-balanced. I think they try to keep it healthy. I don't see a lot of crazy junk food in there."

"I cannot say enough positive things about this nursing facility. I would refer Kennedy to anyone. The administration is professional, competant and caring. Sure, there will always be things are not perfect and that is just the nature of nursing homes. Until your loved one lives in a truly "bad" nursing home, you cannot understand just how superior this facility really is. "

"My dad will be moving to Washington Township Senior Living. It was very nice, the staffs were very helpful, and it's a nice environment. The apartments were like a studio, it's spacious with good drawer space. It has its own bath, microwave, and refrigerator. The restaurant was nice. They showed me a fitness room, salon, there's a little pub, and a library. I like the overall area, the activities, and the dining room. They're doing a little renovation right now."
