Recent reviews of Independent Living in Mercer County, NJ
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.

Friends Village, Styer Campus in Newtown, PA
4.2

We chose this facility because I thought it would fit my brother-in-laws personality better. He is in a community where there are 3 or 4 suites, almost like a motel set-up. He has a dog so he is able to go out the front or back door, its more private and personal. His cottage is good sized, it has a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchenette, we are happy with the size. He is entitled to one meal a day, and he has not had any complaints about the food. I would definitely recommend Friends Village. I could not ask for anything better for him.

The Chelsea at Marlboro in Morganville, NJ
5.0

Our mom moved to The Chelsea at Marlboro a few months ago and her experience has been terrific! We are so happy that the staff has made her really feel like she has a new home. Her apartment is clean and spacious. She enjoys the meals and the activities. We feel comfortable knowing that if we are not around, our mom is well taken care of.
