The people at Brooklyn Pointe Assisted Living and Memory Care were all great with my dad and very friendly to us. I was there almost every day. They shared whatever I asked about. The move in process was easy, the rooms are big. The meals were okay, the staff was great with helping him eat when I wasn't there. I have recommended it to anyone that asked about where he was. It was the best choice for him, for sure.

Great experience with Memory Care

The management staff are fabulous, the nursing staff is great l, they have taken excellent care of finding the correct balance of psychiatric meds so that she is calm and happy, but not too lethargic and not combative. The price for care is well worth it.

The memory unit at Mira Vie was exactly what we needed!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the memory unit at Mira Vie in Manalapan. From the initial tour with the admissions director and the head of the unit, I felt nothing but warmth and caring. And then my husband became a resident of the unit and that warmth and caring continued. Activity counselors and aides truly understand the minds and behaviors of their residents.The people and the facilities are great. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and caring place for their loved one. Sharon Savran

My husband and I visited Mira Vie over the last few weeks because he has been ill and we wanted to learn all about Assisted Living. [name removed] was a wealth of information and she graciously answered all our questions. Her knowledge of the facility is to be admired. Mira Vie is exceptionally clean, organized, and there are numerous activities to address all residents' desires. Everyone who greeted us was pleasant and willing to allay our hesitations. The individual rooms are equipped with everything a senior citizen could need. Mira Vie is definitely a place I would put on the top of my list when I feel the need arises. It is, without a doubt, a place you could call home.

Review for The Chelsea at Toms River

Most of the services there are excellent had one or two issues with meals which they corrected. The biggest issue was not with the care but the post care my uncle passed away around the second week there two weeks later they called me and told me they were still clothes in his room That they told me to leave there and they would throw away . This conversation was the day after he passed away. Also they never canceled the prescriptions and three weeks after he passed away they sent refills for prescriptions for a person that was deceased so obviously some of their systems after care need to be enhanced.

The facility is bright, beautiful, and clean. The food is really good. The staff are competent, friendly, and accessible 24/7. Nothing is perfect and there's the odd glitch-but the staff will work with you to sort things out. The only issue, a small one, considering, is that stuff can get misplaced or lost--glasses, shoes, that sort of thing. They generally turn up but not always.
