The Chelsea at Fanwood
4.4

This is the best place and we think it is amazing. We have been very happy with our experience here. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones and already have. My loved one loves the food and it is the best. They have healthy meals with large portions. Bingo, rosary, social hour, exercises, and more are some of the activities for the residents to choose from. They even have a shuttle bus to take residents to shopping centers. The staff are very courtesy, knowledgeable and professional to work with.

Mt Arlington Senior Living

Overall, it's a very nice, friendly, clean place that I think anybody would be happy living in. My loved one seems happy there for the most part. I think the staff try to do the best they can for her when she voices a concern. They seem like good people overall. She likes the food generally. For the most part, it's been a pretty good experience.

Lakeside Residential Care Home Inc. in Oak Ridge, NJ
4.0

Under new ownership, the changes are noticeable almost immediately. substantial upgrades and repairs made on the building in the last few months since new owners took control. New roof, bathrooms installed, painting and landscaping to name a few. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Nice setting on the lake and close to RT 23 and Rt 15. There is still more work to be done, but they are off to a great start IMO.

  • Health care services
  • Complimentary transportation
  • 24-hour care and supervision
