Distinctive Living

This facility is very clean, updated, as a matter of fact they are currently painting and redecorating all hallways. My mother has no complaints at all regarding food or services. Everyone on staff is excellent beyond my expectations. My mother is thriving since she has moved in and it seems to be very happy. She has attended some of the activities in which she had a good time. She has become very social has made a few friends I just can't say enough good things about this place. Thank you so much for guiding us there.

So far everything is going very well. The staff is wonderful. His room is very nice. I would recommend them to others who are searching for care for their loved one.

From the first minute we walked into the building we felt it was the right place for mom. It is bright and quiet. The staff was smiling. [name removed] is incredibly patient and understanding. She answers every question and then some

The communication from the very beginning was very good. It helped understand what my moms experience would be like at the facility. They communicate updates with my mom too which I appreciate. The only real negative has been they have had a lot of turnover in a short amount of time and appear to be short staffed at times.

What we like the most about the community is that everybody living there has a lot of needs, but they are very experienced and you never see any chaos. They are able to anticipate needs and really take care of the residents

They're taking wonderful care of mom. The staff is very attentive and nice. They have activities every day, morning and afternoon, for the memory care residents. Mom seems very happy. The memory care staff genuinely like the residents.

The staff are very friendly to the residents and there is a comfortable atmosphere there. Overall friendly community, would recommend.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The facility is attractive and inviting. My mother is looking forward to moving into a beautiful room.

Seascape is a beautiful place. Everything is very up to date and the apartments were very nice. We ultimately chose a different facility but we’re very impressed by Seascape.

Every staff member I encountered sat this facility was excellent in every way. They pay attention to detail, place is immaculate. My 87 year old mother will be moving into this facility [date removed]!

I rate Brooklyn point a 5. The overall attention to detail and attitude of everyone is excellent! Better than [community removed]. My aunt is happy now.

Great place it was very clean active community and very friendly residents and staff. Organization around breakfast lunch and dinner.

We are looking at other places but would still consider Brooklyn Pointe as an option. Very well done! Both ladies that toured us were very very good. [name removed] and [name removed] , I believe were very helpful, very informative, friendly and easy to be with.

Staff is very caring and genuinely seem happy in their roles. Activities are plentiful- BINGO is one of mom's favorites. Weekly Friday entertainment is pretty impressive - pretty talented people come in weekly and encourage sing along and even dancing. In addition to daily organized activities, The activity room is a daily meeting place for card players and Rummikub games . Great for my mom! The facility is clean, the bistro and open dining area is very welcoming. I think the dining menu options are good. There is a nice outside patio to enjoy in good weather. The studio unit is newly appointed and roomy enough for one person to be very comfortable. Mira Vie was a great choice for my mother.

I loved this tour as it was my second tour of a memory care facility which I feel is the best kind of care for my father at this life stage. I felt it was top notch and I was excited for my father to have such a great opportunity to receive care at a place that he could call learn to call his home. Unfortunately, the location was not ideal for my 83 year old mother to drive and she wanted a closer option.

Mira Vie's staff and residents were very welcoming. The facilities are clean and homey and up-to-date with today's decorating and standards. The activities schedule seems diverse and full and I could easily see my loved one here.

1. 10-I know there were challenges getting [removed price] to agree that she needed assisted living and adjusting to being there but I saw the caring in the Director of Nursing and P.J. the nurses that made the home visit to assess [removed name]. Warm and caring. 2-10 [removed price] has said from the very beginning that the facility was very clean. I know how hard that is, working in healthcare myself. 3-10 The pre-admission visit, although teary, due to the sudden need for admission. [removed names] were amazing. [removed name] had a good feeling after that visit. Professional yet compassionate. 4-10 [removed name] had a rough start, she was not progressing with her physical therapy, prior to admission (2wks post op knee replacement), [removed name] had been told this was temporary, so she packed up her belongings several times before finally settling in. The staff were kind, despite offering help to [removed name] and being refused, they continued to try but did not force her. Eventually, with encouragement from her sister's visits, she unpacked and started getting into a routine. 5-10 As stated above, [removed name] was our first impression of Mira Vie and we both felt like we were in good hands from the beginning. 6-10 [removed name] has said from the beginning that the food is very good. She has always been a great cook and I think she enjoys having the option of using the dining room. She wasn't cooking or eating properly for some time prior to admission, so that is the big benefit. 7-10 While [removed name] did complain about not meeting people the first couple of weeks, something changed. She started meeting people she could talk to, sit on the porch with, especially when her mobility was limited because of her knee. Eventually, all within a matter of weeks, the switch flipped and [removed name] surprised everyone when she said she wanted to stay, that was the best idea! 8-10 Although I do not handle the finances, I did assist with looking for a facility and could see that Mira vie was competitive with many of the facilities offering aging in place. [removed name] is very happy with her apartment, she can drive and still be involved in activities outside of Mira Vie. Overall I think you did an amazing job. I explained to my niece that this transition went very smoothly and we have you to thank.

Excellent and friendly staff, paired with a clean, well-planned facility, made my overall experience very positive. Everyone I interacted with was attentive, professional, and genuinely kind, which helped create a welcoming environment from the moment I arrived. The layout and cleanliness of the facility also stood out — everything felt organized, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. The only drawback was that the paperwork required for admission felt a bit excessive and time-consuming. While I understand the need for thorough documentation, simplifying the process or offering some portions digitally ahead of time could make the experience even smoother. Overall, though, I was very impressed and appreciative of the care and atmosphere provided.

Mom was only there for two weeks respite care. I was out of town. So I am giving ratings according to what she had to say. I was very impressed with how lovely & clean the Gardens is. However, after her stay, she had complaints about the food being cold all the time. And that she stayed in her room most of the time. She did not tell me of any activities she did. Since she does have memory loss, I'm not sure how reliable her complaints are.

I think all these care facilities are overpriced and out of reach for most people but comparatively speaking out of all the facilities in visited Mira Vie was the best value. Yes, we would recommend Mira Vie East Brunswick to other families based on the experience so far.
