Recent reviews of Independent Living in Dover, 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 Westfield
5.0

I am the relative of a former resident. We moved my uncle one into the Sunrise of Westfield. We met with [name removed] during this process. Making a life decision of this nature is not an easy thing to do. [name removed] helped us through the process....... [name removed] was a genuine caring, understanding, and compassionate person. And my family and I felt that we had a true advocate who was trustworthy, so that my uncle would not just be a number or a resident, but a person. You just got that feeling about the community, and it starts from the top. Sunrise is not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and I cannot say enough good things about [name removed] and the team at Sunrise of Westfield.

Summer Hill Apartments - NO LONGER EXISTS in Wayne, NJ
5.0

Summer Hill Apartments is a very nice place, I am very pleased with it! The staff here were very friendly and very helpful throughout the whole process. They gave me all sorts of information during the tour, and had answers for any questions I asked them. After I moved in they provided me with all sorts of information on local services, programs, and discounts as well! The facility itself is lovely, it is clean and well kept, and the grounds are well maintained. The apartments are nice as well, they have plenty of closet space, and big windows that make the inside feel bright and airy. I'm very happy here, this is more than an apartment, it is my home!

I would recommend yes, but check very carefully before committing to the lowest-priced room. It's excellent for short term, 3 to 6 mos. But be firm about shared kitchen/bath space. That is not an issue with...
