Indoors is always kept neat and clean, decorated always for upcoming holidays and events, creating a friendly and comforting environment. The residents always seem to be engaged in some activity in the main room. The staff is amazing! They work together to make the atmosphere comfortable, safe and fun for the residents. We have witnessed staff members from all departments go out of their way to show kindness, respect, and reassurance to the residents and their families. We can’t write a 5 star review without mentioning the woman at the front desk, Tanisha. She always seems to have a handle on things at this busy facility. She is professional and welcoming. Always treating residents and family members with respect and kindness. She knows all of the residents by name as well as their family members. She goes above and beyond to make the residents, and family members feel comfortable and informed. The kindness of The staff members cannot go unmentioned. Our first experience with Meghan, assured us that our family member would be safe and cared for at Juniper. The choice of placement was easy. We found comfort and reassurance knowing that the staff will take such good care of our Mom. Highly recommended by Tom, Gale and family.
My Dad has been at Juniper now 5 years and he is happy and very very well cared for which is most important to me. Sara Gongora (in nursing office) is amazing. She is always helping my Dad when he can't get his TV to work - my Dad says "only ask Sara". She is extremely helpful as well when I have an issue. Overall, the The staff is always so accommodating and always willing to listen. I consider myself to be very lucky and fortunate to find Juniper Village for my Dad to live out the rest of his years. Thank you all so much.
We needed a memory care facility for my mom after an untimely and unexpected loss. The first place we toured was Juniper Village. Michelle MacDonald showed us around and went the distance to explain the process and all the things needed to get our mom the best care and the best living set up. There were so many moving pieces involved but Michelle patiently and compassionately made it seamless and my mom was welcomed into Juniper Village. The staff is incredible and caring. Sara Gongora has been there to support my mom in her adjustment and Cenon in maintenance has made sure that the room is top notch and helped tremendously with the furniture delivery. All of the staff has really helped my mom and she’s well cared for. I HIGHLY recommend Juniper Village at Paramus for anyone who needs assisted living.

It’s clear they focus on keeping everyone engaged, social, and active, which is so important for quality of life. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, and you can tell a lot of care goes into creating a positive environment for residents. Overall, Juniper Village at Paramus seems like a great option for anyone looking for a place where their loved ones will be comfortable, cared for, and able to enjoy daily life.
