Chelsea Senior Living

Our tour experience with Atria New City was great. They really took their time with us and were thorough in answering all of my questions that I had. The facility is beautiful and brand new. It is state of the art and really has all of the bells and whistles. The price was very expensive and they seemed set on that and did not want to come down, so we went with another facility.

Overall I am happy with it.

The Chelsea at Sparta is a beautiful place, and brand new. I was very happy with it. The only trouble was that after I toured here, my loved one's care needs increased beyond what they were able to accommodate. Also, they were located right next to a railroad track and a ShopRite, which was not desirable.

I thought they were very nice. In terms of the level of care I had to go with another community.

The people are really very kind and compassionate. They seem to know exactly who my loved one is, and they know who I am when I walk in the door. It's a very clean facility. They do have activities, as much as they can for people in cognitive decline, and the people who run the activities are very nice. All these types of places are very expensive, but compared to other places I looked at, Somerset Gardens is less money.

The community has been COVID free. It gets more expensive each year due to the raise of rent. You have to give a big down payment which the community keeps. If you have to move out then the community would refund your payment. If you can afford this community compared to other communities this is the place to be. The maintenance is about half of the other communities. I would recommend the community to others.

If you're loved one can't do a lot of walking, then this is not a good community for them. There is some distance between the rooms and common areas. The Home Health Aides were very helpful and nice. I feel that there wasn't enough of them, especially overnight. Excellent food service and activities for the residents.

When we first looked at Somserset Gardens it looked great, but I went everyday after work and on the weekends because they were understaffed. When I would go visit she would just be sitting in a chair not doing anything. She ended up getting up and falling and cracking her head open. They had some cases of COVID and residents were locked in their room and had to be sedated, so she was not getting fed enough. At night when they get them ready for bed, they don't really wash them. They take a wet towel and wipe their bottom half and that is it, no soap or anything. We did not have a good experience with Somerset Gardens.

They had just redone everything in the community and put down new hardwood floors that look very nice. The staff is all warm and friendly and my mother-in-law likes it there. They offer a lot in the way of activities, although she doesn't often participate. The food is excellent as well.

The staff that I have spoken to are absolutely wonderful. The administration is also wonderful. They are very responsive. The executive director sends out a daily email with updates and notices. The communication and the staff are great and go above and beyond. We looked at other places and we were waiting for a sister community to open, so, my dad moved in here while waiting for it to be built. After living here for six months, he decided to stay and not move to the new building. My dad isn't happy with the food on most days, but I think they are doing a fine job.

Facility was very nice very clean, The woman we met with was very professional, rooms were very nicely decorated and clean, many activities for residents, give

I liked the place a lot. [Name removed] was very helpful. I think my mother could be comfortable there. Drawbacks: Distance from apartments from dining areas. My mother would need a wheelchair to get around, which she does not currently use. Also, while the basic monthly cost of the facility is within our budget, when you add on the cost of extra levels of care it just about doubles the price.

Visited the Amsterdam which was a lovely independent living facility with good size apartments and many acivities. However, the pricing is very expensive.

This community was very nice. It was clean and well maintained. The staff that we met seemed friendly and nice very professional. However, the location of the property was much further than what I would have liked. I need mom close to me so we can visit as much as we would like

My mother has recently made the move into this community and so far things are going well for her. The staff have been on top of things and have made sure to keep in communication about her needs and progress. They have welcomed her with open arms and I am comfortable with the care she is being provided with. Overall things have been going well and I would recommend it to anyone interested.

I understand that the rehab that is offered here is not as aggressive as other places offer but they could put a better effort. My mothers stay here was not pleasant. She would have constant urinary tract infections once she would come off the medicine she would get another one. The staff was friendly enough and the rehab was clean and maintained. But from seeing my mother who had made such improvement while she was at another rehab center then coming here and her decline so much just greatly overwhelmed me.

My dad was at this community many years ago and it was a good fit for him. This community does have different levels and you have to take the elevator down for activities. This community does not seem like a good layout for memory care residents.

My tour of this community was very nice. The lady that gave me the tour was very kind, and friendly. She showed me all around the community, and answered all my questions. The community looked nice, and well-kept. My issue was the room they had available at the moment. It was smaller than my aunt would had like. They have great rates, but I knew that room would not work for my aunt, but my tour went very well overall.

My father is doing pretty well with his move to this community. The only things he doesn't like if the food. The meals could use some improvements. Overall he is safe, and in good hands at this community. They are taking good care of him, and his needs.

this was our first visit to a facility, so we really have nothing to compare it to. overall, [Removed] was very informative and warm. she made us feel at ease and understood how difficult this is. the place was bright and clean, the rooms were nicer than i expected and it looks like there is quite a lot of activities to choose from.
