Ciel Senior Living

We moved Mom in about a year ago. She is not a big social buff, however, the employees and staff have continually reached out to her and made this her home. I am so impressed with the Executive Director! She was our first contact on our initial visit and continues to do an exemplary job. Her and her team of employees are kind, intuitive, thoughtful, professional, motivated, and well-suited for this occupation. If anyone is looking for a place to land Mom or Dad, or both, you owe it to yourself to get acquainted with Executive Director and her staff, and take a tour of this facility. A big thanks to all of the staff members who take the time to personally get to know the residents. It is greatly appreciated!

The benefit of memory care availability is paramount for my sister and husband. Although they are in assisted living now, that need will be required in future. The staff is dedicated to helping - that makes a world of difference. We have had a good experience all around and would definitely recommend Columba Crossing.

I have had a great experience with HarborChase Long Grove. My loved one enjoys their time here. There are three meals a day served to the residents, and they have several choices to choose from. My loved one enjoys the meals and socializing with other residents. Overall, I would recommend HarborChase Long Grove to others for their loved ones.

Admittance and head of nursing, were especially helpful and caring. I'm glad they had respite care, it helped me a lot . My dad wasn't there long enough to identify improvements.

Columbia Crossings has done everything and more for our family and has exceeded all expectations. The staff members get above 10 stars. Our loved one has the same aid assistance so it make communication very easy and very simple and we have that consistency. Every staff members from top to bottom will sit down with you if you have questions or concerns no matter if you are a resident or a family member. They will address it immediately and if the person who you need to speak with is not available they respond back in a timely manner which is something we appreciate. The staff do a very good job engaging with the residents and we would absolutely recommend Columbia Crossings to other families.

I loved it. It was awesome. They were good. It was a brand new, and clean facility. They educated, my sibling and I on the assisted living community.

Very good tour experience. The facility is very big, overwhelming actually. Heard about turnover issues. Sales person was very friendly and we liked her a lot but turned me off with last minute hard sell at end of the month too. Also, just saw another facility and it seemed like a better fit.

Overall our family has been very pleased with this community, every time we come to visit our loved one the community is very clean and the staff members are very friendly. We appreciate how responsive the staff members are and we would recommend Columba Crossing to other families.

They are good with my loved one. She is having a great time with Bingo. The kitchen staff is really friendly, and helpful. They cater to my loved ones needs, with the food options. They take the residents on trips to the store. They are really attentive towards my loved one.

Excellent staff, friendly and caring.

The facility was clean, staff is nice, nurse and aides are professional, and they have many activities for the residents.

The staff are very welcoming, and they treat the residents well. The times that I've had to talk with the nursing staff, it has been good. They listen to you and take your questions and advice.

This community is wonderful with my mom. The communication with the staff is nothing but great. They do offer activities like bingo, but my residents would like more and different game nights. Meals are served 3 meals a day with snacks in between, the food is so good and my mom loves it.

It's expensive, but my mom loves it here! What sticks out to me is the positive energy and daily offering/availability of activities. They provide housekeeping. I would recommend them to friends and family.

I really like that l can call them and they are always there. Anytime you need something just call and they get to the point right away. The staff are also helpful and friendly. [name removed] up front is my go to person, she is just awesome and I love her. I would absolutely recommend this facility to others looking. As soon as we walked in my dad fell in love with the facility and we did not look anywhere else. Not only are the staff great, but the residents are super friendly and welcoming as well. That was one of the things my dad loved, he found a friend right when we walked in the door.

Their main meal is lunch, which is fine. For dinner, the choices are sandwiches, burgers hot dogs, and soups. Sandwiches are not appropriate when you need a low salt diet. Cheese and processed meat for burgers and hotdogs doesn't work for me. They used to have two entrée choices for lunch, but now they have one. I understand everyone has to make cuts and that you can always have a burger or hotdog, but that's not a choice for a low-salt diet. It was a tough change for my loved one. He tries to watch his salt and he's not a picky eater, but he has to be careful of what he eats because of his health. If they make something with creamed soup, that's worse than the processed meats in terms of salt. They used to have a chef salad, but now they only have veggie salad that comes with a slice of cucumber, tomato, and a sprinkle of cheese. I'm not happy with the dietary choices and the food cuts. The activities director is leaving and no one else is hired, so I'm unsure of what they're going to do. The effort, availability and what they offer is good, but participation is poor - which I can't blame on the staff because the residents here live a sedentary life. My loved one's brain is at 110% and no one who wants to play cards or games with him. His vapid plays checkers and other games with him, so he does get some activities in addition to me taking him out twice a week. They do offer an exercise program, which seems to have decent participation. It takes place between breakfast and lunch and it's not always run by the activities director, it's sometimes run by the house secretary. It's nice that they have a light weight exercise class that is appropriate for seniors. It's nice that they have that available and that it also has good participation. They have a church service once a week as well, and my loved one likes that. I'll reserve the rest of my opinions for their next activities director and what they will bring. My loved one needs assistance with minor care services, like putting on his socks. Sometimes he waits a while to receive assistance with that because of short staffing. Everyone is short staffed, but the staff we work with are very caring, and very professional. I love the staff and so does my loved one. They do care and they mean well. They try hard with the number of staff they do have available and overall they do well. In regards to billing: I know that they've just switched to electric billing, and they tell me the bill will be taken out of his checking account between the 1st and 5th of the month. He moved in several months ago and that's happened maybe one time. Oftentimes, it's two bills in a row and the second bill hasn't been taken out. When it is taken out, it happens way after the 1st of the month, like a couple weeks in. If they would take it out between the 1st and the 5th, it would be a lot easier for his spending. She will not allow me to speak with billing department, she says she has to speak with them. Although it's electronic, there has to be a better way because it's not working the way she's doing it. Right now he's on his second bill, and it still hasn't been taken out yet. I'm unsure of why something that is an electronic setup, is not being taken out on time; it's frustrating. I should not have to write out a bill every month, which is why we setup the electronic payment. The billing is very disappointing in that regard.

My dad lives here, he likes it.

My family searched for a facility that would meet the needs of my elderly parents for +2 years. We feel so incredibly blessed to have found HarborChase at Princeton. My father has mild dementia and uses a wheelchair and my stepmom has moderate dementia but no difficulty walking. We looked at facilities all over NJ, PA, and NY. All of them told us we either had to split my parents up into separate units- skilled nursing for my dad and assisted living for my mom- or pay for a 24/7 aide for my father in assisted living - which he does not need and he cannot afford. It was such a relief when staff at HarborChase told us they took an individualized approach to caring for their residents. They were able to place my parents together in the same apartment. Their staff have been incredibly kind and attentive. The physical beauty of the facility, the busy activities schedule, and the amazing food are also greatly appreciated.

So thankful I found Washington Township Senior Living. Everyone is friendly, the food is great, and my apartment is spacious. I never knew this place existed, it is hidden behind Jefferson Hospital. Calling this place my new home is the best part.

I remember the day I walked into Huntington Memory Care- exhausted, fearful for my Uncle and his well-being and completely unaware of what my next steps should be…and then I met [name removed] the RN and Todd the LPN. Their care and concern gave me immediate comfort and the facility calmed my deep fears on where my Uncle could be placed to ensure his safety and his health. I knew immediately that this was the place and they were going to help me “make it all right.”… Please continue your great work and please accept my heartfelt thank you. Your work and that of your staff is so greatly needed and our community is fortunate to have Huntington Place to meet those needs.
