Silverwoods in Toms River, NJ
4.3

My brother in independent living so he is in his own apartment and pays for additional onsite Wellness and bus trips. His unit was completely remodeled so very nice. He pays for individual onsite cleaning service but it is mediocre. Helpful staff especially onsite nurse. Usually the meals are very good and wide variety. they have a calendar full of activities as well as an excursion calendar for each month. The rental units so no big initial outlay and because they are recently remodeled appear updated w roomy layouts. Front and back door for each unit with patio. One story building so no neighbor up or down, just side to side. Surprisingly good option for over 55 independent living with key enhancements available (onsite Wellness, meal plan, excursions and activities.)

The Terraces at Lawrence in Lawrenceville, NJ
5.0

I love the services that I get. Everyone is very kind. I've had nothing but great service I would absolutely recommend for people to come here.

Sunrise of Lincroft
5.0

My mother has flourished at Sunrise of Lincroft. Her health and personal needs are provided for by a caring and kind staff and she can participate in a variety of activities that interest her and the other residents. The facility has a cozy home-like atmosphere. My mother is seen regularly by her doctor's office and other services are available if needed (therapy, dental, vision, hearing, dermatology, etc.) Families are always welcome and included in frequently scheduled social events that have resumed since the end of the Covid restrictions. I truly believe my mother would not have reached her current age or had a good quality of life if she had stayed at home, even with home care, and our family has been relieved of worry. I recommend being involved in your loved one's experience at Sunrise.
