They were as a group very in tune to all patients and residence. Very friendly and involved with anyone. They have a lot of events for residence and maybe they can encourage them more to get more participation. We picked this community because, they specialized in Alzheimer's and Dementia.

The staff here were wonderful. They were very professional, helpful, and always responsive. Housekeeping was good. Communication with the family was great. All around, this facility was excellent.

The perfect solution for us

The Branches of Marlboro is a beautiful community, it is so nice and clean and everything is easily accessible for the residents. We love the layout of the community is very convenient to get from one place to the other. The staff members are so friendly, so helpful and always cheerful. The meals started out to be really good but the quality has gone down some - the service is great but sometimes the meals are served cold and occasionally they have some odd choices. Our loved one has been really happy so far and she loves playing bingo several times a week and there is musical entertainment quite often. This community is overall quality living for seniors .

Tour experience

We had a great tour and thought Coachman Square was a beautiful facility. It was very large and they had a lot of great amenities and activities offered for the residents. I did notice that most residents I saw had a private aid with them which made me nervous because I know how expensive that is. I did not think the staff to resident ratio was adequate.

Extremely Satisfied

We were extremely satisfied with this facility. My loved one received top quality care, we couldn't have asked for any better. The staff was wonderful. I've never met such nice people. They are a great group here. The food was very good. My loved one wasn't able to participate in any of the activities, so I can't rate that one. But I can say that they seemed to have things going on all the time and it looked like the residents were enjoying themselves. Housekeeping was great. Communication with the family was excellent and they always answered when I called. This facility was just excellent. I would definitely recommend this facility to family and friends. I'm saving up to be able to live here when my time comes!
