Arden Courts A ProMedica Memory Care Community in Wayne

Although the expenence of needing to make this transition was not ideal, my experience w/ Arden easier than anticipated. Every single person I Interacted w/ was pleasent and I truly feel my great aunt is getting the best care possible. EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS.

Sunrise of Cresskill
4.5

We fell in love with Sunrise as soon as we walked into the place. Every area is beautifully and warmly decorated. The staff is very pleasant and easy to talk to. The residents all say "hello" with a smile on their face. When you walk through the rooms and are always greeted with smiling seniors, it tells you that they like where they are - and we now do too. The rooms are large, open, airy, excellent closets/storage space, beautiful bathroom, our own washer/dryer. They serve a continental breakfast every morning, and we have a dinner that offers a menu with minimum of 7 choices and includes, salad bar, soup, entree, beverage and dessert. They offer a daily list of varied activities. It's great!

Lakeside Residential Care Home Inc. in Oak Ridge, NJ
4.0

Under new ownership, the changes are noticeable almost immediately. substantial upgrades and repairs made on the building in the last few months since new owners took control. New roof, bathrooms installed, painting and landscaping to name a few. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Nice setting on the lake and close to RT 23 and Rt 15. There is still more work to be done, but they are off to a great start IMO.
