Recent reviews of Independent Living in Preakness, NJ
The Brielle in Staten Island, NY
5.0

The staff at the Brielle is very caring and attentive. They provide their residents with the assistance they need, activities, events, and good food.

The Residence at St. Peter’s in River Edge, NJ
4.5

We went with The Senior Residence at Se. Peter Apostle because they offered a comparable level of service for almost $2000 less a month. The facility is smaller with only 20 rooms, it is a former convent so you have to be ok with a small room versus some other places that had large rooms. They have communal bathrooms and showers but there are 4 per hall so she has never had to wait. In terms of services, the other places we saw were not offering much more than this one and were more expensive. Here they offer 3 meals a day and access to coffee and tea throughout the day in a common room. It offers towel and bedsheet cleaning. But they do not have as many activities provided which is ok. The atmosphere is homey and she is comfortable here. I would absolutely recommend that others check it out. Staff are amazing and it doesn't matter who it is, they are super helpful to the residents. You can reach the director at anytime, she even gave me her phone number if we needed anything.

Thrive at Montvale
4.3

Very helpful staff. My mom was all set for assisted living even though all she needed was medication management and the nurse and community relations person suggested an automated pill dispenser which had literally been a game changer. Now she can live on the independent living side! The only down side is the food as there seems not to be a great variety but with inflation I'm not surprised. Hopefully that will improve. The building and the accommodations are gorgeous.
