Mt Arlington Senior Living
2.9

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.

The transition went so well, it felt like a miracle. My sister made a phenomenal adjustment and so did I. I have not regretted my decision for a second.

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