Arden Courts A ProMedica Memory Care Community in Wayne
5.0

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.

Arbor Terrace Mountainside
5.0

The only helpful thing would be using Touchpoint to create the shopping list when supplies run out. I often get multiple calls a day when they run out of soap supplies. Really minor because of such great care and medical coordination. Very happy with the transparency and visibility, the family app with activity participation levels and photos is great as well.

Sunrise of Mountain Lakes
4.9

I thought the facility was always and clean and looking great. The staff was always present and they took care of my mother very well. I would recommend Sunrise of Mountain Lakes to others looking.
