Senior Apartments
For how they try to accommodate the residents, they really go above and beyond. The only thing that is difficult is that my mom can't see that well and the ovens are geared for handicapped people and it's digital and she can't read the numbers. Lot's of activities. They have things like bingo, but they also take them places weekly, like to the store, and the bank, and the doctors.
I have been here six years and love it. My apartment is very roomy and functional. The maintenance, management, and overall atmosphere are terrific, very peaceful. Parking is easy. The location is convenient: turnpike, train, busses, shopping. The price is a bit high for me, but life here is worth every penny. I am so grateful to be able to live here.
My grandmother lived here for a few years - we are now looking for my mother in law! We loved the care so much we decided to look here again. The staff is compassionate and caring. I really can't say enough good things about the community and the staff. This place is very much worth looking into!!!
