Distinctive Living

What we like the most about the community is that it is cozy, the staff really gets to know residents and their families, immediately on top of any issues, good communication, they give good advice (no pressure) and are very helpful

We had to cut our visit a little bit short because of some family matters, but we had a good tour. The place seemed fine. We’re gonna go back at some point

I recently met with the sales staff at Mira Vie in Vlifton, NJ. The visit was thorough and personable. The facility is extremely clean and orderly, and every staff member I crossed paths with was polite and inviting. I really appreciated the professionalism and knowledge the sales staff provided and I would recommend this facility to anyone seeking full-time care for their loved ones.

What we like the most about the Mira Vie Manalapan community is that the care staff was great. But very hard to reach admin for various things including billing , maintenance issues - broken a/c etc went on too long

My aunt was very pleased with this facility. I live three states away so did not observe much myself. But she felt the staff was attentive to her needs and the food was good. She enjoyed the outdoor patio areas in nice weather, and loved that there was a library.

The nursing staff is amazing. They have been very responsive to both my mother and the family. The PA on staff is also amazing. It's definitely a comfort to know that Mom has access to doctors and nurses should she need them. They have been a little short staffed on the aids and the cleaners and the kitchen servers. They say that they have open positions but haven't been able to fill them in the last few weeks. . It's small enough and private enough to offer that individual attention that you don't get at larger institutions like Cedar Crest.

The Gardens of Carleton is amazing. We're so happy with our choice. The staff is incredibly caring. The facility is immaculate. My brother with Alzheimer's is very happy living there.

I was very happy with that placement. They were wonderful to him and the staff just overall was great. The activities director turned out was someone that I knew and he's absolutely fabulous. He was actually a student of mine when I was a school counselor, but I couldn't have been happier [name removed]was as happy as he could be. The dementia had really progressed, but they treated him so well I only have good things to say about it.

My wife suffers from alzheimer's and has for many years. Fairways has been her home for almost two years after we were no longer able to care for her at home. The people there really care for the residents and provide a top level of service.

All were pleasant and helpful. I would recommend this facility to others.

My aunt is currently at Seascape in Naples, and was referred there via A Place for Mom, and she is so happy. And my family is so happy with how it all turned out. They have created a great community within that is thriving. My aunt is active socially, loves the food, and her apartment is perfect. I can't say enough nice things about the caretakers, they are all wonderful. The admin are equally great. My family mirrors this sentiment. It was a really hard decision for us, and she is so happy there.

My sister in law loves it there! I would highly recommend Mira Vie

[name removed]the Executive Director, and his team are absolutely the best! I would definitely recommend Mira Vie East Brunswick!

Everything is made fresh! A little on the pricey side, but the Apartments, Personal Care, Aides, Nurses, Chef and management of the facility are wonderful ! We are very happy with our choice for our mom And appreciate your help with locating this facility

Great place to stay.

I gave high marks on every facet of Mira Vie. The place is clean and neat, the administration is responsive, the aides are attentive, medical care is given when needed.

We put my sister-in-law at Mira Vie in Tom’s River. At first, she was very shy and didn’t want to come out of her room (which by the way is beautiful). So they hooked her up with all of the therapies she needed, including elder care, which is helping her come out of her shell and mingle with other residence. They have introduced her to a lot of women to talk to. When she had a health incident, they noticed it right away and got her to the hospital. She is a fall risk and they are right there every time she falls. She loves the food. There are a lot of activities for their residents every day. Placing my husband sister there was the best thing we did for her. And now my husband is back to being her brother rather than her caretaker. But it’s not inexpensive. It’s a little more costly than other places we looked at. I like that she can age in place there.

The best part is how friendly and helpful everyone is. My mom is always saying how well cared for and respected she feels. They could improve on maintenance issues and housekeeping of the individual apartments. I know they recently bought out an old facility and just got a mew executive director so I'm hopeful these issues will improve.

First thing is that my dad really likes the place and is comfortable. I found the staff and residents happy. The facility has a very nice atmosphere, not dark. The only thing that I wonder about is how it was determined that my dad was in need of level three care when we were told he would be a level one or two. There was never an explanation or a call when this was determined. I found out when I received his bill and was surprised as was he.

We had a great experience at The Gardens. Wonderful staff, clean and responsive to all our Moms needs.
