That is the New Jersey median for a semi-private nursing home room, not this community's price. This community's actual rate depends on room type and care level. Ask us for this month's real numbers.

The majority of the staff came across as unfriendly and unwelcoming. The building itself felt outdated… more like a hospital on the inside and a prison on the outside. Security was also concerning; the guard at the entrance appeared unprofessional, and there was no verification of who we were before being allowed in. Additionally, the accommodations were extremely lacking. The pillows were thin and uncomfortable, and the blanket provided offered little to no warmth. For an environment that serves elderly individuals, comfort should be a basic priority, and it was clearly not met here.
Went to visit a longtime client of mine. Staff was friendly, one of them even helped me get in, had an hard time with door. Was easy to check in, she seems like she’s doing much better.
From the moment you step in, the front desk staff will greet you with a warm welcome. Ann, Michelle and Vanessa from admission are incredibly helpful. Ann, thank you for your empathetic service. The nursing team including the social workers , and nurses aides are super caring and attentive. I would like to mention and thank the support staff from housekeeping and the kitchen for their incredible contributions to the team of attentive and hardworking people. For all of you who have made patient care as one of your life’s mission, keep up and continue the works of our Creator. Thank you for your dedication to providing compassionate and respectful care. Please extend my gratitude to your entire team.
So far so good my mother has only been there for 2 days. The customer service technicians seems to be pleasant and helpful but then again my mother has only been there for 2 days see what happens. But other than that the rooms seems to be very clean and maintained. Bed seems to be well made. Receptionist very courteous and respectful. But like I said we'll see in the next few weeks how it goes if things change I will write a additional review. After she's complete with her therapy
