Nursing Home Communities in West Orange, NJ

"My mother is in Lincoln Park Renaissance Rehab & Nursing. It's excellent. I'm very happy with them. It's very clean. The staff is awesome. They take very good care of my mother, who is hard to take care of. They're always friendly and always smiling. They have little concerts, they play games, they have art classes, and Zumba. It's very active. There are a few things every day. My mother said the food is very good. The choices are good, and it tastes good."

"I toured the Hopkins Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare. It was good and very respectful, nice, kind, and clean. The dining area was good. They keep the residents occupied with events every week and try to make it so that everyone is comfortable, which is very helpful. The staff member who gave the tour was very kind."

"I’m very happy with the rehab and food in this establishment. They treated me amazing, I’m very impressed with the neatness and cleanliness of this establishment. Really remarkable. Thank you for taking such good care of me."

"It is truly a difficult decision to have a parent reside in a Nursing Home instead of at home but sometimes there is no choice for the family based on their needs. I feel so incredibly grateful that my own mother was a resident at Dry Harbor Nursing Home since the summer of 2022 until her recent passing in March of 2024. In her final years my mother was on the tenth floor of Dry Harbor and was in absolute excellent care. The staff lead by Managing Nurse Tamara was hard working, dedicated, kind and patient with my mother putting my siblings and me at ease knowing our mom was in good hands. On my daily visits I asked questions and showed concern for my mother's health and spirits. Tamara, the managing nurse kept me posted on any new developments in my mother's health or any change in her overall well being. If she was unable to call herself for any reason she directed and left notes for other staff members to notify me of anything that seemed concerning. This gave me such peace of mind. Janet, Lucy, and Pauline just to name a few of the staff, I wish I could mention everyone, were absolute angels in my mother's life during her time in Dry Harbor. Zyrra the social worker was so sweetly kind and patient whenever I have needed her assistance and when reaching out to me in need of information or to provide me with information. Eva the dietician was always willing to try different foods that may help my mother continue eating as her tastes and appetite changed and diminished as her health declined. I went to the home right after a long day of work and considering my fatigue I always felt relieved to be greeted by the smiling faces of the reception staff. Their kindness was truly welcomed and appreciated. The employees of the business offices were also kind, patient and so helpful when it came to the task of filling out paperwork and securing insurance and such which we all know can be tedious but necessary. So overall my family and I were pleased by the care our mother received at Dry Harbor but personally I would like to address a special thank you to the tenth floor staff as they truly helped to give me peace of mind with the care my mother received in the final days of her life. To Lucy trying to help convince my mother ever so kindly to eat to keep her strength up and making sure she was comfortable and calm. To Janet for answering all of my questions as soon as I stepped off the elevator and always with patience, respect and empathy for my concern for my mother. Also for not hesitating to call the managing nurse whenever either she or I believed my mother needed specific attention or help. To Pauline the miraculous angel who called me the morning my mother passed because using the judgement of her experience and the mutual opinion of Tamara predicted that my mom may not survive that day. Their intuition and professional assessment was correct. I will always be grateful for that phone call in the morning that made it possible for my siblings and I to be with my mother at the moment of her death. That was a precious gift. My mother passed away and even after the staff at Dry Harbor continue to be kind and patient and helpful. Thanks to all the staff members that made the experience a little easier during a difficult time for our family."

"Regency Heritage gave my husband tender loving care while he was in this beautiful facility. I am indebted to the staff more specifically to the dedication and kind regards of folk like Evette and others on the first floor. When my husband moved to the second floor we were met with another group of dedicated professionals. The expert professionals in the rehabilitation unit were phenomenal. They brought my husband back from immobility to satisfactory mobility in a shorter period of time than the family even expected. Forever grateful."

"The staff is amazing they treat you with care. My stay during rehab was so good. Thank you for your care and your help."

"I toured the Dumont Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare. On every floor we were taken to, I didn't see any discrepancies. We were taken to the memory care division. It looked like it was a clean place, so I have no complaints. The staff member who gave the tour was not knowledgeable, but the person they claimed we were supposed to see had something else to do, so they put another person on to take us around. He was OK. If we had another person who normally does it, we'd get more information on him, but it wasn't bad. It was OK. It looked like a clean area. I didn't see anything wrong with the rooms they showed us and that we passed through, but I peeked, and they looked well-kept. They showed us different rooms. They showed us one-on-one, and then we saw two-on-two. I mean two people in a room, and we saw one person in the room. So it was OK."

"The Daughters of Israel was beautiful and very nice. They have nice little areas for privacy. It’s a very homey place even though it’s an institution. It’s just very incredibly expensive. "

"This is a first class facility. I have been in rehabilitation many times and this facility is top notch with and is professional, clean, wonderful staff, and can't say enough positive things. You get a print out every morning (or the night before) of your scheduled therapy which is the same person and you are not shared with 10 other patients while they run around. They are 100% focused on you, the patient. The nurses/assistants were also wonderful and caring and took a personal interest in how I was feeling every day and middle of the night. Before I was discharged, my husband had to come in and review all the things I could do and what was necessary for when I went out. For example, I had to practice getting in and out of our car and how I needed to go up and down stairs. Kessler was "out of network" with our health insurance, but after a fiasco at another facility, we agreed that it didn't matter as they worked on getting me better after a 2 month hospital stay. Thank you Kessler!"

"They make you feel like your family. Y ou dont mind leaving there. The place is clean the food is great. When you call they talk to you with compassion and caring. Everyone is in such a great mood. There is always something to do so you are not bored. Even the rooms are like home. I would surely recommend them to others. The best it is and truly a COMPLETE Care."

"Alaris Health at West Orange looked immaculate. I love it. It's very clean. I loved the way they interacted with the clients when I was there. They don't just sit around. They're doing therapy because I went to the therapist's room as well. They have a garden out there on the balcony, and the patients tend to the garden. They have events for them to participate in, like dress-up and whatnot. I love the way that the cafeteria is set up. It's set up like a nice eatery where everybody comes together as opposed to everybody eating in a room. There's a lot of socialization going on. I don't see isolation. As I was walking through the area, they had the charts of what was going on in the facility. You can get in touch with certain people in the facility. They're always available, not putting you on hold. Each time I called, someone answered. I got the information that I needed. There are times when I couldn't make it at a certain time, and they give you that grace period, but just be mindful that there are other clients there. I was pleased with the tour. The person who assisted me was very professional. They seem to be doing what they need to do. We were there around lunchtime, and I didn't see food just being put aside for those that were not able to eat. They have private rooms as well as shared rooms. The room I saw was standard, nice, and well-kept. You don't see anything lavish."

"Stratford Manor overall is an outstanding and well-needed facility in our community. This facility like most have withstood a 3-year pandemic (COVID 19), the lost and shortage of manpower while operating and maintaining the health and safety of it's residents; in my opinion rank a 5-star rating. This far I am a resident for more than 5 weeks and have made a 100% improvement in mobility in 2 of my limbs that we're paralyzed from a stroke I sustained in July 2022. I could not have achieved this success without the love, compassion, care, talent, skill, knowledge and teamwork of all of the staff at Stratford Manor. "
