It depends on the person's needs. Every case is different.
I just wouldn't recommend Ciel of Princeton to anybody with severe dementia. Not for people who need one on one care. Just my opinion.

Ciel, a good choice
Ciel has been a good choice of assisted living for my husband. I appreciated their assessment and recommendation for level of placement most beneficial for him. There are a variety of activities offered, even on weekends. The menu is varied and mostly healthy. The staff is welcoming and available whenever I have concerns or questions.

Very good tour experience. The facility is very big, overwhelming actually. Heard about turnover issues. Sales person was very friendly and we liked her a lot but turned me off with last minute hard sell at end of the month too. Also, just saw another facility and it seemed like a better fit.

Marketing Materials and Looks are Deceiving!!
Facility is understaffed, rooms are dirty, food is greasy & sub-standard, patient care is inadequate, even tho there are few residents., maybe 1/3 full at best. Needed repairs to apartments are overlooked, still waiting for a broken wheelchair to be replaced (it's been weeks), large staff turnover, including recent termination of the Executive Director. Harbor Chase offers many "amenities" on paper & gives a flashy first impression. It is also one of the most expensive facilities in the area. However, the care of its residents should be its top priority, & that is lacking. The existing staff are friendly & are as helpful as they can be, given that like most organizations today they are severely under-staffed.As a new fancy high-end facility, Harbor Chase may be a victim of the times, but thus far it has been a huge disappointment. My loved one deserves better & needs 24/7 care, & should probably be in Memory Care, but is in Assisted Living, partly due to difficult family dynamics.

Best Facility in the Tri State Area
My family searched for a facility that would meet the needs of my elderly parents for +2 years. We feel so incredibly blessed to have found HarborChase at Princeton. My father has mild dementia and uses a wheelchair and my stepmom has moderate dementia but no difficulty walking. We looked at facilities all over NJ, PA, and NY. All of them told us we either had to split my parents up into separate units- skilled nursing for my dad and assisted living for my mom- or pay for a 24/7 aide for my father in assisted living - which he does not need and he cannot afford. It was such a relief when staff at HarborChase told us they took an individualized approach to caring for their residents. They were able to place my parents together in the same apartment. Their staff have been incredibly kind and attentive. The physical beauty of the facility, the busy activities schedule, and the amazing food are also greatly appreciated.

A positive experience
My dad loves HarborChase of Princeton. The residents are all very welcoming to new residents and make them feel comfortable. He actually just joined their welcoming committee, they really go out of their way to include new residents in everything. I like that all of the residents here are new since it is newer, so there are no cliques formed. What originally enticed him that if you do not like the entre you could get something al a carte and they have been taking that option away recently. There is not a lot of variety based off of what it used to be. I know that they are actively working on things though. Overall I would absolutely recommend the facility to others looking. My son is in the medical field and he was very impressed from not only a loved ones point of view, but from a doctors point of view.

Good experience. Worthwhile to check it out - you'll have a good experience.
HarborChase of Princeton is doing very well - it was a good choice. They're short staffed, but everyone is right now. The staff are wonderful and caring. Despite being limited in staff, they are very attentive and do the best they can with what they've got. And it's a clean facility.

Meeting our needs for now
This is a good community for your loved one. As a family member you do have to be involved and there periodically just to make sure that your loved one is being taken care of properly. I do feel like this community could use more help and assistance to care for the residents. They have activities like chair yoga, word games, coloring and more for the residents to do to stay busy. It would be great if they did additional things and provide activities that would give help the exercise.

Great place - getting better
Our first impression of HarborChase was amazing, it is brand new. It is like walking into a swanky hotel in New York, just beautiful. With it being newer they are still working through some kinks but there is a lot of potential. The dining experience is great, the residents get to eat off a menu and there are happy hours everyday. Even with turnovers the staff are doing their best to accommodating each residents as an individuals. The staff members are very nice, the community is very clean and they really try to build a community atmosphere. Overall we are pleased and we would definitely recommend to other families to come check out HarborChase.

Looks Can Be Deceiving
This is a new facility, opening late summer of 2021. We decided on Harbor Chase based on the overall plan for care and resident engagement and the impressive layout of the facility itself. Not to mention, we really got a good vibe from the staff we met as well, especially the head nurse. The promise was never fulfilled. After moving my father in, it did not take long to realize that something was amiss. They were only at about 30% resident capacity, yet the existing staff was clearly overwhelmed. The engagement activities were sparse at best, my father’s room never appeared to have been cleaned and I witnessed memory care residents left to their own devices for very long periods of time without being checked on. Within a week of our move in date, the director of the Memory Care unit quit. Not long after that, the head nurse also quit as well as two of the aids that were at least trying to keep up. Ultimately, the level of care was sub-par.

Tour of HarborChase
HarborChase was not even open yet when we went for a tour and they really bent over backwards for us. The facility itself is beautiful. I really loved the managers philosophy, it was along the lines of "let her be our responsibility that way you can just enjoy her" and that really struck a cord with me. It ended up just not being the right fit.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the New Jersey regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about New Jersey regulations for Assisted Living.
