Rose Hill Assisted Living in Robbinsville, NJ

5.0
We had a good tour experience with Rose Hill Assited Living. They were a second floor only full care facility. No access to outside unless family takes them out. They were all very friendly people, but we just liked the layout of a different facility better for our loved ones needs.

Spring Oak of Toms River

Everyone is friendly and helpful. For the food, I do think that they could maybe have a few more choices for the residents to choose from each day. I would absolutely recommend Spring Oak of Toms River.
