Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Port Reading, NJ
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.

New Administration. hopefully it is a positive change. The Conseirge and [name removed} is very helpful. I always have positive experiences with them. Mom had positive mostly interactions with other clients, and some memory issues with a few, but that is why they ate in an Assisted Living facility.
