Would Recommend

Overall I think it's a good value. They do their best to make it a pleasant experience for my loved one. The food is average. Variety is good, but it's just not to my loved one's taste. The other residents seem to be eating it without issue.

Best Independent Living!

My parents have been so incredibly happy and blessed to live in this facility. The staff is clearly committed to providing the utmost care and communication. As we continue to adjust to the new normal the care provided put my husband and I at peace because of the protection my parents are receiving They also feel safe and secure living in the facility. The favorite part of the apartment for my parents is the shower, they no longer worry about falling trying to get in and out. The kitchen is the perfect size and there is a lot of closet space. They have a king size bed that fits in the bedroom as well. There is no other place we or they would want to be.

Where The Heart Is

My mother is a resident and client of Heritage at Clara Barton. [name removed] and her phenomenal team provide incredible care to their clients on a daily basis. Their work during the COVID-19 Pandemic to ensure the safety, health and happiness of their residents has been nothing short of exemplary. Their record speaks for itself. [name removed] and her team are tireless in their pursuit of excellence. Always going the extra mile to help. [name removed] and her team are great listeners. Their empathy and thoughtfulness are constantly on display. Never looking for acknowledgement, they go about their business of joyfully caring for all their residents. They not only make their clients feel like family, but give peace of mind to their loved ones. Knowing my mother is in good hands around the clock has given me great personal comfort. I trust [name removed] and her team with my mother's well being. I can't think of a better way to express my gratitude and thanks. I would recommend Heritage at Clara Barton to anyone who is seeking a place for a loved one to live and be cared for.

Happy Here!

My mom has happily resided here for two and a half years. But since COVID we have come to appreciate the caring staff here even more. They have kept my mom and all the residents safe yet active and engaged. They have been compassionate, positive and upbeat. Since March [name removed] has conducted zoom calls for family members, at first on a daily basis and for the last couple of months, twice weekly. She has been straightforward and transparent about their conditions, challenges and solutions throughout these several months. I have felt well informed and have had peace of mind. The staff remains vigilant in following COVID protocols which reflects in their success in keeping residents safe. In addition, Clara Barton is well kept and maintained inside and out. My mom’s apartment is fitted with every accommodation to make her life as independent as possible, and as safe as possible. It is a great place to live!

Mom is Happy & Safe

I could not be happier with Heritage. My mom is fairly independent, but needed some help. At Clara Barton, she has found a home. The apartment is large enough for mom to have room to move around and still feel like it's not too much to take care of. She has help cleaning the apartment, managing her meds and handling her mail. She likes the meals, but having a kitchen gives her an option to make her own when she wants. Since Physical & Occupational Therapy are available in-house, mom's doesn't need to go far. Her cognition and fitness have improved tremendously. The staff at Clara Barton has been wonderful. The nurses keep a watchful eye and contact me with any issues. The aides help with laundry, cleaning, check-ins and any other requests that I have. The Recreation department is creative and caring and do their best to keep the residents engaged. Executive Director [name removed] and Admissions Director [name removed] keep the families informed and connected and updated on all the goings on. Mom is happy and grateful to be in an environment where she feels safe and is close by.

My Mom lives at The Heritage at Clara Barton, Edison , NJ. During these stressful times [names removed] and the entire team have gone above and beyond to keep their residents safe. Their residents are their top priority always. The facility is spotless. I live 5 minutes away, before Covid I was there all the time. I never saw an unsmiling face. The families have constant communication through Zoom calls. We can reach [names removed] 24/7 through text if necessary. The Heritage at Clara Barton is a family.

Excellent Facility

During the pandemic, Clara Barton updates me with the zoom information, twice/week, since I work from home and can't participate. Always very friendly even with all the stress Covid had brought to us all. They are always very accommodating with any questions or assistance I need. My Mom has lived there for over 4 years and has recently been put into hospice. They are all very kind. I am very grateful my Mom chose Clara Barton. You will not be disappointed!

Demonstrated excellence at Clara Barton

From the beginning of the pandemic, the Heritage at Clara Barton has gone above and beyond to ensure the safety and well being of my mother (and every resident) as well as to keep the families up to date, with not only transparency, but open lines of communication. As a healthcare worker myself, I appreciate the great strides they have been taken to protect those who are most vulnerable. Time and again, it has been “all hands on deck” doing whatever is necessary to assist the residents. The low positive COVID-19 numbers are a testimony to the immediate and continued implementation of mandated protocols! It has been 5 years since our mother has been residing at the facility and I have always been thankful for such a wonderful place for her to call home but even more so during this challenging time!

Kudos to heritage at Clara barton Edison, NJ

To Whom It May Concern: I want to send the strongest possible shout of approval and sincere thanks for the way that the amazing and caring staff at Heritage at Clara Barton (HCB) in Edison, NJ is caring for and protecting my father, [name removed], and all the other residents in this mixed Assisted Living / Independent Living facility. The manager, [name removed], and the head of nursing, [name removed], and their respective staffs have, throughout the pandemic gone to incredible ends to ensure the physical and mental health of the residents in their care. They have repeatedly extended themselves and gone beyond their job descriptions to serve our family members. They are ever aware and forward looking in terms of identifying and mitigating any risk that may impact the residents' well being. Operating within constraints and boundaries imposed by the state and their company, they nonetheless continuously push to provide every service and, especially, protection that they can. It is inconceivable to me that they could possibly try harder or do and accomplish more than they have been able and continue to do. My dad is completely thankful for the way the staff at Clara Barton has cared for him and the other residents throughout this crisis. The staff at HCB had built and maintained a positive, warm, healthy, and welcoming environment prior to the pandemic and have done truly wonderful things and gone to tremendous lengths to ensure the residents are protected and cared for since. I cannot say enough about how truly professional, caring, and heroic all the staff have been. My siblings and I can not be happier about how safe and well cared for my dad has been at HCB. Thank you.

Covid 19

Sadly I’ve grown very disappointed in Clara Barton Heritage Home. I realize Covid 19 has changed a lot of the policies and procedures but the management has done nothing to ease family fears and anxieties of when our loved ones will be able to leave the building without having to self quarantine on their return. I know for a fact that staff members take residents to doctor appointments in their personal cars when the facility bus is not available. If that can happen then why can’t a family member take their loved one to the doctors? Also, some residents can take their pets out for walks and other residents go to stores on Amboy Ave. without quarantining on their return. The facade of preventing residence from leaving and having to quarantine for 14 days upon their return has to end. Mentally this is doing way more damage then is necessary to the elderly residents.

Clara Barton Heritage Home Reviw

My Parents moved in to the Clara Barton Heritage Home almost two years ago in the independent living section. Overall the decision to move there was a great move. They have a nice apartment that serves their needs and the staff is friendly and helpful. Sadly my dad passed away recently and the coronavirus has cut off my access to visiting my mother when she needs me the most. My Mom and I are both comforted in knowing that the managers and staff are doing this to keep everyone safe from this horrible virus. I am able to drop off supplies for my mother as needed, I can see her in the lobby and know that she is doing well and they also provide assistance with FaceTime chats as needed.
