After only 2 months at The Residence, my mother is a new (her old) person! Having moved her from an Erickson facility, I am so happy with the level of care and attention she receives at The Residence especially when compared to the "care" she was previously receiving. In addition to the care, the amount of activities she can and has become involved in is so helpful to her overall health and the food available to her is first rate. The lively, positive environment, coupled with the large, open room is such an improvement over the depressing and cold Ericksson environment. We couldn't be happier!

It's always so great visiting and working with the staff at The Residence at Basking Ridge Everyone is very friendly and it's a super nurturing environment with staff that really care. Hats off to Anna with activities.. she always comes up with creative ideas and great music :-)
My Mom, Florence Dennis, spent the last year and a half of her life happily at the Residence before passing on June 30th 2025 a few months shy of her 93rd birthday. The staff at the Residence always went beyond caregiving (which they're great at!)..... they were family. They were family to my Mom and family to me as well. There are no words that adequately describe the love, guidance and support that we received as my Mom inevitably drew closer to her passing. I would have literally been lost without these beautiful souls by my side. They were with us like family every step of the way. The day my Mom did pass, every employee stood in a reverent beautiful line as she left the Residence for her last time. And it didn't end there. On there own time, and without a word ever being said, several of them attended her funeral mass which meant more to me than I can express. You will hear that the Residence is physically beautiful, the food is great, the entertainment is terrific and non-stop and the place is impeccably kept, and that's all true.....but to me it's family, and that's what mattered most. A special shout out To ESSE, Gloria, Ursula, and Alison. You are my angels on Earth and you'll always be in my heart!
I'd like to share our family's experience with assisting with our mom's move to The Residence of Basking Ridge. The move to this community has been very pleasing and extremely positive for our mom and our family. The staff takes very good care of the residents and have always been extremely cooperative and sensitive to mom's ever changing needs. The apartments/rooms and common areas are well maintained. We have dined with her on several occasions and found the meals to be good. They are always pleasant and provide an atompshere that makes our visits welcoming and enjoyable. Mom enjoys the activities and has made new friends! This community has worked out well and I feel comfortable in recommending.
