“I recommend this community all the time. The executive director is visible throughout the building, knows the residents by name, and has her finger on the pulse. The dining staff are really attentive and keep suggesting things my mom might like. There is a good variety of activities and talented performers. Her room is always tidy and smells fresh. When her refrigerator door opened the wrong way, maintenance replaced it within a day. The driver is the kindest, and the nurses are extremely kind and attentive to her increasing needs.”

“When we first looked around years ago, this was by far our favorite place: clean, very light, big rooms, and super welcoming staff. So when it was time, it was the first place we looked again. Our main contact is extraordinarily responsive and addresses things super quickly. There are tons of meal options, and the calendar has a variety going on every day. Maintenance helped with the move-in, and the caregivers are very respectful. Compared to the other places we saw, it's substantially better. Overall it's so fantastic, and I would recommend it.”

“The director is very engaged; my dad even sees her pitching in in the dining room, well beyond what you'd expect. He likes most of the food and has enjoyed every activity he's been to. Housekeeping is very attentive, and he feels like he's in a hotel because they make his bed every morning. The transportation gets him where he needs to be on time, and he and the driver have become friends. It's much nicer than other places we've seen, and I would recommend it.”

“My experience here has been very positive. My cousin speaks well of the food choices and quality, and she's happy with the housekeeping; the beds are changed and the place is kept clean. When I visit, the place is very efficient, clean, and kept in good condition; it's not shabby. The people I've met in passing are very friendly. They offer a variety of events. It's a nice environment, and I would definitely recommend it.”

“The people here are spectacular, and I would recommend it over any of the other places in our area, hands down. Management is very responsive and accommodating, jumps on any issue, and are nice, kind people. The servers are all very kind. The music is exceptional, and the piano player is so good that I make an effort to go see him. Housekeeping does a good job, and the laundry comes back folded. Maintenance handles everything quickly and efficiently. The nurses are very responsive, and the head nurse is excellent about keeping families updated.”

★★★★★

“Management seems to be on top of everything, with great communication. The move to a restaurant-style menu was a great change, and my dad seems to love it. Unlike another facility my parent was in, this place has activities every day, posted, and they do a good job with them. Housekeeping and laundry are done well, and repairs always get done on time. The concierge has done a great job since she got here. He feels absolutely safe, and it's worth it for the superior service.”

John BarillaApr 2026
★★★★★

“It's a very nice and well-run facility, and I'd certainly recommend it to anybody. Management is excellent and the whole staff is extremely good. The food is excellent, and the people who manage the activities are extremely good. Maintenance is excellent and fixes things as requested. The transportation is an absolute ten, and the nurses are excellent. A special shout-out goes to the ambassadors, the residents who do an excellent job welcoming new people as they come in.”

“Dad lived here and everyone there was exceptional and will be missed, from not only dad but me too. Their management was available, very accommodating, and filled with information from the first day we visited, he loved his breakfasts and that they made things to order, they had piano players, live music all the time and visiting yoga teachers, the laundry services were exceptional, their maintenance man was outstanding, and the care people were so extraordinary with him. He felt safe and comfortable there.”

“My father recently moved into the community, and it has been a wonderful new home for him. The management team are all very responsive and very thorough in their responses. I always felt like questions were welcome. My father loves the food there. They come clean his room and take the garbage out every day. The laundry gets done on the designated days. I think that's perfect as well. The care staff seem to be there and responsive. They are doing a good job with his meds.”

“Mom stayed at this community for a month because it was recommended to her by a friend that stayed there and mom said that if she had to go back, she'd go back there. She told her friends in other communities how much it costed and they told her it was a great value. Management was personable, followed up with us and made sure mom was comfortable. There was variety and quality in the dining room, and they remembered she likes strawberry ice cream. There was a variety of activities to do and they had something for everyone. Her unit was kept clean and she said the housekeepers were friendly. The building was well maintained, beautiful and pretty. Care staff was prompt and knowledgeable. She felt safe and comfortable there.”

“The management of this community is very, very good. They have been very attentive and very welcoming to my aunt as she has come into the community and I am very pleased with the care giving staff. My aunt enjoys the food and she has plenty of choices for dinner and the other meals. They have a good variety of activities for the resident and my aunt even dressed up for Halloween. There are no complaints about the housekeeping and the laundry services. Everything gets done in a timely fashion. The place is beautiful. The maintenance of her apartment is handled very, very well. My aunt knows who to reach out to. Even if it is just a light bulb or putting things up on the wall I think they have been very quick and attentive to get to them to help her out. I would recommend this community to others.”

Deficiencies are counted from each inspection’s Statement of Deficiencies, which lists the rule cited (New Jersey Administrative Code 8:36 for assisted living) and, where the facility has filed one, its plan of correction. One inspection can cover both a routine visit and a complaint. Quoted findings are the surveyor’s opening sentence from the report; “[withheld by NJDOH]” marks a detail the state removes from public reports. Some reports are not online; NJDOH says to request those through OPRA, so counts cover only the reports posted. NJDOH: “In many cases, health care facilities are given the opportunity to correct deficiencies identified through inspection surveys without incurring fines or other penalties. The Department may, however, impose a monetary fine, curtail admissions, issue a conditional license, suspend or revoke a facility's license.” NJDOH: “Information on the status of a state recommendation for enforcement is available through OPRA.” A case listed here is a recommendation for enforcement; the outcome and any fine may not be shown. Facilities may request a formal hearing before the Office of Administrative Law to appeal deficiency findings and enforcement actions. This community is licensed for 134 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.
