Best Memory Care on the Planet!!!

All of management and staff really care. Chef [name removed] makes the best meals I've ever seen. Absolutely tons of activities...basketball (sitting), painting, crafts, pets come visit, recently dogs and lizards, outside entertainment, hula dancers, male and female...it's endless fun there. They don't just plank folks down in front of the TV. Plus, [name removed], top nurse, helps families find meds for the best price. Nothing but positive vibes there. Maintenance guy [name removed] is also the best. All staff greets residents by name, chats, hugs, I could go on forever. If you look up on FB, [name removed] of Venice, they post TONS of photos. I am very friendly with staff since [name removed] passed. Forever, I think! Anyone who puts loved one there will never be sorry. I visited alot, so I know what went on! Endless fun, I wanted to play myself, ha! [name removed] had a couple bad falls, he was energetic, but it did him in at the end. Hospice was there...also amazing to both of us.

Great place overall

Very professional, caring, kind, knowledgeable, approachable staff. Bright beautiful and safe facility. I looked at 4 others in similar price range and this was the best. That said, unavoidably, stuff sometimes happens. The occasional fall. A resident who develops aggressive tendencies toward others. A mix-up in laundered items. But the staff is very quick to take appropriate action. I have friends with loved ones in a more expensive place and they are less satisfied. And the same issues occur.

I went on a tour the other week with the Sales Director, she has a lot of energy. When we walked to the model room, up the beautiful stairway, the executive director was speaking with a staff member and they both were glad to meet us and welcomed us to the community. We have one more place to visit, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be picking Mira Vie Green Knoll for mom to move into very soon.

Allowed my brother and I to be a sin and daughter instead of the primary caregivers

Very accommodating in his early months to be as independent as possible and as he grew weaker, he was very appreciative of the additional support. He loved having his medication packaged (instead of having lots of bottles around). We found it convenient that doctors were local (literally across the street) and there were times the doctors came to the facility. We loved that everyone on staff knew his name and were so kind. Even the cook helped accommodate good nutrition when he stopped wearing his dentures. Most of all - the Hospice staff made his last days as good as one can expect!

Mira Vie West Milford review

Too soon to rate but initial impression is very positive. On overall value, we received a promotional rate on a studio room, which raised it from a 4 to a 5. Bottom line, this is a very nice facility compared to others I visited. They clearly care about their residents and provide them with a quality experience. They listened to our concerns and made adjustments to meet our needs, so a very positive experience overall.

A Comfortable Place for Mom

Mom isn't an easy person to accommodate because she isn't used to being social and she is a very picky eater. Despite these factors she has settled into living at Mira Vie pretty well. The studio room she fits her belongings comfortably and she has a nice window view. She isn't too fond that her location is at the end of the hall, but she makes her way down to eat via her wheelchair or walker depending on her mood. Everyone she meets knows her name although she sometimes forgets their names. Her biggest complaint is about the food, and she has ordered many grilled cheese sandwiches. She is a picky eater, so this is the best that can be offered when she doesn't care for the other main dishes that are offered. The facility is clean and there are no strange smells. They keep her room and clothing clean. They care for her well with her medication and other medical needs. Staff is friendly and they do their best to get clients involved in activities.

From the initial visit, back in July, through moving in day [date removed] until now we are extremely pleased. The director, nursing staff, everyone has been terrific. She has her meds managed by [name removed] and has additional care such as redirecting, reminding etc. As needed.
