Dedicated and professional caregivers. Several residents and their families praise the commitment and professionalism of the caregivers at various communities. At Sunrise of Mountain Lakes, the staff take good care of my mother and I would recommend Sunrise of Mountain Lakes to others.
Beautifully maintained facilities. Reviews consistently mention the cleanliness and upkeep of the facilities at different communities, such as Belle Reve Senior Living Community, where the staff keep the entire facility spotless, and Mira Vie Clifton, which is a beautiful facility with an ideal northern NJ location.
Delicious and nutritious meals. Meals are a significant factor in residents' overall satisfaction with their community. At Van Dyk Park Place, the only complaint is the quality of the meals, which some residents find hard and the meats tough. However, at The Carlucci Home, the food is excellent and restaurant quality.
