My father had a fairly brief stay in nursing home at Crane's Mill from July of 2024 through…read moreOctober of 2024. I waited to write this review so I would be able to reflect more clearly on the experience. Mostly, my father's and my family's time there was not very positive. I am leaving the two stars for those staff members that did treat my father with kindness, compassion and understanding. We decided to put my father on hospice so we could access more daily care and less medical testing ect. However, what we observed is less concern, less care and less compassion. My father's care was not easy as he had little mobility and dementia/delirium the last few weeks was significant. Hospice did provide pharmacological intervention but did not provide much support or communication with the family. Fortunately, my family was able to spend every day with him and provide him with the support required to make him as comfortable as possible. The most disturbing was that my father was placed at the end of the hall and after this daily visit once per shift by the nurse, there was no check- ins by the aides other than the alert bell that he could ring. The thing is when we rang, it was longer then 10 to 15 minutes before anyone would show up and at times it could be 30 to 40 minutes. No aide was stationed outside in the hall, so I spent much of my time searching for help. There were four occasions, I found them on their cell phones in empty rooms. Rarely, did not see supervisors on the floor making periodic checks on both him and staff. Basically, any assistance received other than the bare minimum, was mostly reactive not proactive. I would like to thank the nurse that did sit with him a few times during the end as his anxiety was severe and also the staff members that alerted me when his needs not being met. In the end, an aide assigned to my dad daily was treating me harshly, that I hired a private aide to stay with my father so that I could take a break from what appeared to be passive aggressive cruelty. This aide refused my father his last cup of coffee on his last day telling him the kitchen was closed, as my brother showed up and retrieved a cup in that kitchen. Previously, I did ask supervisor to speak to her but was told, that it was happening. I often wonder how she treated him while I was not present as he was somewhat helpless. Unfortunately, taking care of both my parents, I witnessed other facilities, and it is my opinion as a society, we must do better with the elderly. Working with the elderly and health care is a very difficult job. Owners and administrators must do better providing a caring emotionally and monetary rewarding environment for their staff. The response to these reviews asks the writer to call and discuss. Again, reactive, so I will offer my further input only if it is a proactive response.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Arden Courts of West Orange. My mother was a resident…read morehere and recently passed away. I visited very frequently and I can tell you that there was not one time when I felt her needs were being unmet, and I was paying close attention. My mother was not a particularly cooperative person, and the staff always handled her with kindness and grace. The nursing staff was very attentive and communicative and kept me posted on every change. Most of the residents seem very happy and well cared for. When you walk in, there's a calm and peaceful vibe. The activities are second-to-none, and residents are truly engaged, not just shoved in front of TVs, as you see elsewhere. The design of Arden Courts is perfect for people suffering from dementia--not like the "hotel style" facilities where residents could easily get lost or confused. Since this is not a very large place, residents are well-known and the staff knows their needs and personalities. Residents here range from very high-functioning to those on hospice. All they do is care for people suffering from dementia, and so, they are experts. When my mother was in her last days, and I was with her round-the-clock, many staff members frequently came to check in to offer kind words and empathy. This may sound like a cliche, but this place really does treat its residents like family.

The family member being…read moretaken care of is relatively young and has been in many rehab facilities after hospital stays. This is one of the best. She is a former nurse and is very pleased with her care as are her relatives. It's a quiet, clean facility and during visits the nursing staff and aides frequently stop in to see if she needs anything. The food is good. Physical therapy has been twice a day and is effective. I'm writing the review in part because of all the negative reviews. I have heard only good things about Daughters of Israel over the years so all these negative reviews on yelp are puzzling. It is hard enough to find a good facility without being discouraged by these negative reviews.

Involved in the school industry. We never thought of placing our Dad in a retirement facility due to all the negative connotations. It was a true blessing when needed to find a home, we came across The Willows. It is a small retirement home for adults which is what we were looking for so our dad can be given the much needed personal attention. My siblings and I graciously Thank Mrs. Pinto and Ms. Chin for their thoughtfulness, care and attention. This home is not the typical institution like facility. It is a beautiful B&B style home with a very caring staff and no foul odors. It is a private facility with exceptional amenities all inclusive in the monthly rate.

I was very disappointed when I went to visit and found him lying in the bed in a dam diaper! He was able to go to the bathroom himself! the rehab was sparse and they kept him in a wheelchair!!
