Nursing Home Communities in Newton, NJ

"What a great experience we had at F.M. I can't believe the reviews I saw on here, I experienced none of this. Great place, friendly and clean. Highly recommended. "

"My mom used to be at Merry Heart. The staff was wonderful and did their best. Every time I had a problem, no matter what it was, they were on top of it and couldn't have been more helpful. However, the facility was run down and dirty. They need to put some money into it. It just wasn't clean. My mother was there during hurricane Sandy. There were roof leaks because it really took a hit. I just was surprised that things didn't get fixed quickly enough. The nursing home area is more expensive than the assisted living section. They're making all this money with so many people there, so I wish they'd put a little more back into their facility. "

"The care is good. The employees at Regency Grande are very friendly. The therapy is very good too."

"I've visited Heath Village, it's beautiful, the people were very friendly, it's like family-focused. They have a studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 2-bedroom with an additional room, and the rooms have balconies. It's a nice facility and most of the apartments were stand-alone, so they're accessible from the street and they're not inside. They also have cottages for independent living, and the assisted living is in one building. The food was excellent, they have multiple activities, and they have a lot of the same amenities as the other places I toured. They do events for family or extended family as well, it's beautiful. They have payment options, and the monthly rent was quite costly, and they do not have Medicare so it's private pay only."

"My grandmother has been at this facility for the past 5 years. She was diagnosed with alzheimer's and we were unable to take care of her. The facility is very clean and the people there are courteous and kind to my grandmother. I dont see any problems with the facility and really appreciate all the hard work the staff does. "

"Nestled within a verdant, bucolic country setting in rural Northern New Jersey, this not-for-profit facility has been practicing and perfecting the art of providing care to the needy, sick, elderly and disenfranchised for over 180 years. Warren Haven's conscious "community of caring" mission is evident the moment one enters the front door. The affection and compassion shown by virtually every staff member is real and tangible, and manifests day in and day out creating a warm, nurturing, mutually respectful environment. My mother arrived there from a for-profit facility in a sad state: confused, malnourished, depressed and frightened. In a little over one year, she has blossomed emotionally and physically, and I attribute her transformation entirely to Warren Haven. Comfortable, cozy and super-clean, Warren Haven offers residents a full array of daily activities, spiritual worship, on-staff chaplain, birthday and life celebrations, theme weeks, hobby groups, and much more. A volunteer community army of over 85 members supports the facility in countless ways. Special family holiday meals are offered, and beautifully prepared and served. A gorgeous strolling garden with koi pond allows for outdoor time with family members. You will achieve ultimate peace of mind with your beloved family member in this superior facility. "

"I will move to The Oaks at Denville. I like that it has a pool even though it's small. The upfront pay is higher, but it's a lower monthly rent. It's very expensive at The Oaks, but I wanted to go where I felt taken care of and safe. The sales department is nice to me. They live there, but the lady that's been setting me up, let me pick out the colors to have my apartment renovated and she's a doll. She's nice. The staff has been good. I went to the cafeteria and did different things. The food was very good. I went there the day I picked out my colors, and I was allowed to go to lunch. I chose grilled cheese and I liked it better if it was multigrain bread. I know that they cook with an eye to not too much salt for everybody. I've gone to meals there where they host informal meetings for the public and gone there a number of times."

"Complete Care at Milford Manor is a clean place. It isn't the best, but it is OK. Some of the staff are very nice. Some of them are not and unhelpful. My father's room is spacious and clean. They have bingo, people that put on shows, and music. The dining area is clean and good. They also have an activities room and a library. Probably one thing they could improve on is to get more staff. I think they're short staffed."

"great care-best kept secret for a great nursing home "

"My wife is at Delaware Valley Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. I like the facility. They have excellent nurses, and they take care of her very well. I'm very happy with the service that they are providing. I have tried the food, too, and she is very happy with the meals there. She doesn't like cornbread but I do, so I ate that because I was there at lunchtime, and it was very good. It's a brand new place, it is only one year old, so everything is in excellent condition. She has been to rehab. They have sort of like a gym. It's not a gym, but it has recovery equipment there that you can use. This place is excellent. I'm very happy with it. Insurance has been taking care of things."

"The facility is run down but relatively clean. There are some excellent nurses and aides that are overworked but genuinely care during the day shift. They are always short staff. The night staff is terrible. My mother was genuinely afraid at times. I spoke to the administrator, several times, who will tell you what you want to hear but nothing changes. My mother said that she was given the incorrect medication one evening and called me in a panic. The nurse came in the room and was quite fresh to her and he asking who she was calling. I was unable to get the hospital to test for the medication as we had no idea what it was other than seizure medication (she was told this by a new nurse). My mom passed a week later."

"My mom was a resident in Holy Manor for almost 3 years after losing the ability to take care of herself and I can tell I have had a piece of mind knowing that mom has great help and care in this Home. I read other reviews about this place. Yes, it is dated, yes, sometimes it is smelly, but what is the most important, visual appearance or people who dedicate themself to help those in need? All the stuff is amazing here: the Helpers, Nurses, The Doctor, Social Workers, Therapists, Administrators, even Receptionists! They all come to work here with one goal, to HELP patients and residents, to make their lives as close to life at home as possible. I can say they all put their hearts into their work. And they give a lot of Love to patients and especially to the residents of the Home. The Doctor and the nurses have always listened to my concerns, always were available for me and my mom if it was needed and always they all have been trying to help. They are amazing people. So, what do you think is more important for your loved one who will be living in a nursing home, 1)super clean place or 2)super caring personnel working there? I choose the second one."

"The staff was wonderful, my husband was treated as a guest not a patient. His care was exceptional; this is his 4th time at Morris View he felt he came back to family. My husband was treated with dignity and respect, his medical care was excellent all doctor's orders was followed. Even though his medical issues were complex the nurses make sure he was taken care of. Each individual was caring from the warm welcome from Mary the concierge, to the Unit Manager Kay and the nurses on the third floor, Scot, PT really pushed Leonard to get better sooner than expected and the aides was very helpful in his daily care. The kitchen staff came to his room when he did not like what was served whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner. The cleanliness of the facility was unmatched. Norma"

"My mom was in rehab at St Josephs Place for a few weeks. They were helpful. I thought they were good and tried to stay on top of things. My mom shared a room with another person. The room is one of our problems. The roommate was lovely. She had the window side, and my mom had the inside bed. It was very squished. She sat in a chair in the corner which was very depressing. It was a nursing home and rehab. They had the patients mixed together, so my mom was in with a lady who was a permanent resident of the nursing home. I think they should separate them. The lady was lovely, but she couldn't hear, and my mother couldn't hear, so they couldn't converse. They both have hearing problems. The curtain was always closed over because the other person was 101 years old, and she slept most of the day. The curtain is always drawn, and my mother was in the dark corner of the room, so it was very depressing. They had bingo, and they have some crafty things. They have some activities for her to go to, but my mother is the uncooperative one. She didn’t want to do to anything. They have a dining room which was kind of dreary. They have a lot of patients who were definitely nursing home patients sitting in wheelchairs who were kind of out of it. My mom's brain is very intact, so she had a lot of problems there. The place was depressing to be in, but they did take good care of her. "
