I am so thankful that I found Mira Vie, Manalapan. The staff is amazing. I can visit anytime of the day which is so important to me and my Family. My Dad has Dementia, and they treat him with respect and are so caring and patient I literally cry when I leave. I cannot thank them enough for taking such great care of him. I highly recommend them.

This may not be the review you are looking for, but I’m sure you’ll post it as fair assessment for those looking to move into SB. My mother has been at SB for over several years. It’s appalling to think that monthly fees went up 4% in 2022 and now they are going up 7.5% in 2023. I understand a need for increases to cover relavent expenses, but Stop blaming everything on COVID and do your job in managing expenses to keep costs down. When increases go up this much, it’s usually because someone isn’t keeping an eye on expenses and not always because of “COVID.” 2023 fees (+7.5%) will add another $280 to her monthly fee. What’s going to happen in 2024? What are your Operating Expenses in relation to your Collections? The food is average, at best. When it was delivered to her room during the “Lock Down” the food was cold. The wait staff, in the dining hall isn’t being paid fairly, regardless of what the administration tells you. Talk to one of the wait staff and hear it from their mouths. The 2 yr scholarship isn’t enticing to those individuals who live pay check to paycheck. Their pay raises don’t reflect our increases. Where’s this money being spent? Upkeep, renovations? With an increase of 7.5% of each unit’s monthly fee, your collections will far exceed $3million in 2023. (Assuming your facility has close to 1100 units, some not occupied.) I’m somewhat confused and as the Executor of my mothers estate, would like to ask you for a copy of the budget from 2022 and the new one for 2023. Thank you. You may email it to the address given below. Thank you.

I would highly recommend Tower Lodge Care Center to anyone in need of nursing care and assistance. When I needed to find a home for my father, they made the process easy and comforting. The facility was clean and many residents were engaged in activities or were socializing. Once my father was admitted, I was kept up to date on his medical care, and his nurses and aides were ready to answer my questions.

My sister-in-law and I had a wonderful visit. My mother-in-law and several others recently moved and Wellington welcomed the new residents and the families with a celebration. Everyone seemed so happy!

We are moving forward with my mother going into the Seabrook Retirement Community. We chose it for the fact that she can have an apartment place that really seemed like an apartment. They offer a large community with things she likes to do such as gardening, they have doctors on site that are there full time, nurses that are there 24/7, if she should need any assistance she can stay in independent living to a point where it may be a little bit difficult to maintain her there, but they can continue a lot of services while she's still living in her apartment. That was very important to her, and made her feel she can still be independent, and come and go as she wants, for as long as she wants. Assisted living did not offer that option. She can cook and have a full kitchen, and that was very important to her. There were a lot of things that led to that decision: the grounds are large, she can walk at a much longer distance, there is a nice garden that she can help with, the grounds are lovely, they have two, big facilities that are like community centers, and there's a lot of places that you can eat when you have one meal a day. There really wasn't anything that compared to them, it's mostly individual apartments that are for independent living, and one facility on the premises that is for assisted living.
