Dad's new place

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.

Would recommend this facility

Honestly, I am very pleased with Mira Vie. They do their best to accommodate their residents. I would give most of the categories a 5, but I have had problems with Reentry after hours. They tell me to call the front desk, but no one answers. We pushed his emergency button, but no one came! We had to wait for someone to open the doors on several occasions. On one early morning pickup for blood work, a resident came to open the door. Food: They are showcasing menus from other countries, and my husband does not enjoy that cuisine. However, there is an anytime menu that residents can order from, so he does that, it works for him. I definitely recommend this facility.

Finally a community that feels RIGHT!

I came into community to visit a friend's Mom and from the concierge to the dining staff and activites and the Administrator everyone was exceptionally attentive and warm. The team strives to treat each resident special. They genuinely care for each resident there. I came during thier Mothers Day Luncheon and they really rolled out the red carpet for all the Moms present. There was a beautiful spread of food and assorted drinks. I highly recommend this community to anyone making the decision to find the best place for thier loved one! This community cares!

What a blessing this facility—and [name removed]—has been over the past six months. I was so concerned about finding a place suitable for my mom, who has lived with me for over 18 years. After touring the facility, spending time there, and working with [name removed], I feel confident that my mom will love her new home. The staff have been wonderful, and the residents have gone out of their way to welcome and connect with her.

Immediately felt like home

I first spoke with the Director of Marketing at Mira Vie of East Brunswick, several months ago. She realized that we were just at the beginning of our search and I also thought at the time they may be slightly out of our search area. Nevertheless she offered to be available as a source of information whether we chose them or not. After months of researching MANY other communities, with an emphasis on memory care, I finally decided to visit and it immediately felt like home. The decor is even similar to my parents’ home - lovely and elegant, in addition to being spotless. The demeanor of everyone we met was warm and welcoming, as opposed to business-like and a hard sell. Her doctor, the Aides and the staff all focus on care and providing the best experience possible. It took her a few weeks to acclimate, as we expected but she is now receiving the attention she needs, has made friends and participates in activities. This was definitely the right choice for us.

We hand out, make a craft, paint nails, and plant flowers with the residents. Everything is also clean, the staff is always friendly, and the residents are absolutely amazing.

Beautiful, caring, trustworthy resort-like living in Naples!

We knew this was THE place the moment we walked into the beautiful lobby! [name removed]welcomed us, showed us around, and within weeks we were able to bring parents down from New York to live in this amazing resort-like facility. [name removed]helped us with that transition every step of the way. They even rolled out a red carpet and had a welcome home ceremony when our folks arrived! Day to day living is wonderful, movie theater nights, bingo, game groups, a library, multiple dining choices, and best of all the residents always seem happy, always greet us, always smiling, and that says SO MUCH. Our folks seem to love it here. They love having us close and my MIL always remarks about the beauty of her apartment, the view she has from her own balcony, the freedom she feels being here. I sincerely can't recommend Seascape of Naples enough. We sleep better at night knowing our loved ones are well cared for and living the best, independent life possible.

Review for Mira Vie Warren

They are all very friendly and accommodating to the residents. They have plenty of activities and family gatherings for holiday celebrations. They also have transportation to your own doctors in the area and the community Dr. is very pleasant if you decide to use the community doctor and/or Nurse Practitioner. The executive director is amazing she is always available in a crisis. She is an asset to the community.
