Distinctive Living

I recently had to make the most difficult decision of my life. My Mom is 90 and has dementia and was living with me for the last 2 years. I reached a point where i was no longer able to care for her properly. I reached out to Mira Vie and connected with Sunny. She was absolutely SPECTACULAR. She helped me through the entire process. I was not able to get my Mom to go willingly so I had to have an Ambulance take her to the hospital. Thank goodness I did as she had a very bad infection in her toe. Sunny talked me through everything. The day she went to the hospital I had to bring her belongings to Mira Vie. I arrived there and was totally distraught and upset about the entire situation. As I came around the corner to go to my Mom's room in tears, Sunny was walking towards me. She saw me and gave me a big hug and assured me everything would be fine. I will NEVER forget the kindness and compassion she showed me that day. Mom is now there since March 9th and adjusting well. Thank you Sunny!

The apartment size is really nice. I was able to arrange furniture to have a living room and bedroom. I have never seen such a clean facility. Never any odor like other facilities. They always have activities and events that include the family. The entire staff is wonderful. They are always attentive to their residents and receptive to any concerns or requests of family members. The food: Well, my brother gained 22 pound in just 6 months living there. We couldn't be happier with our choice. We recommend it to everyone.

It was great, they made us feel very welcomed and gave us a nice tour of everything. She also went over all prices and paperwork that we needed to know about.

The facility is very clean and well maintained. It seems that they update regularly to keep things fresh and clean. We noticed while touring the facility, there was a lot of activity! Many residents and staff members were moving about engaging one another! We were greeted by many residents who seemed to be very happy and active! The staff has always been so helpful in all aspects of transitioning from facility to facility! They truly care about those under there care! They even visited my Mom while she was in a rehab facility! We have toured many facilities and by far this was the most inviting. My Mom and our entire family are so thankful that Mira Vie was our final decision!

Every staff member at Mira Vie in West Milford was so kind and welcoming to us from the first minute to the last of our experience there. They laid out all of the options for our loved one and talked us through anything and everything we needed. We felt no pressure nor did we feel “sold to” - we got to see how the facility operates, what’s in the works, what under construction, etc… I am SO excited to bring our loved one on their own tour soon to (hopefully) fall in love with their new home. We could not have been happier with our experience.

Very nice feeling walking through the facility. Felt very comfortable. Nice to see the staff interacting with the patients.

The facilities are like a 5-star hotel, always clean, dining room is lovely and always with interesting and tasty meal options, staff very friendly although sometimes hard to find/speak to administrators. Activities are nice but could use more. Pricing had been actually on the cheaper side although I realize that they will go up year to year. I hope that A Place For Mom puts Mira Vie on their list of places to consider. I don't believe that this was shared as an option to me for my mom when we were shopping. I found this place accidentally but so glad I did.

The place is perfect for my aunt and her needs, our issue is that she’ll run out of money in two years and if she’s still alive we’d have to move her to a Medicaid facility. We haven’t made any final decisions yet but are thinking our best bet would be to go where they will take the Medicaid waiver. The facility is beautiful And homey though and the residents all looked happy.

I thought the facility was really clean and nice. The staff was really nice and seemed very engaged with the clients

I met with [name removed] who was very welcoming and knowledgeable and answered all questions I had. [name removed] was gracious as I missed out appointed time and had time for me to visit later in the day. The facility was very nice and still considering it as an option down the road.

The room was very nice and large. I really liked the whole place. Very clean and every one was very nice.

[Name Removed] and the staff are kind and helpful. [Name removed] was so accommodating, I was able to tour the facility prior to my mom’s tour. The residents and staff are friendly. There are so many amenities from daily activities that can keep an individual as busy as they choose, to so many different public spaces (dining room, theater, library, pub, bistro lounge, outdoor patios and the list goes on). So happy and relieved to find a place for my mom to live and thrive.

The facility is beautiful and always clean. Every time I go to see my Aunt, she is clean, smells nice, and dressed in clean clothing, which is something we weren't seeing in her previous place. The Care Partners are amazing! They are so attentive to the people living there and very friendly to family. They have taken time to sit with me and gather information about my Aunt, so they can get to know her and provide her with the best care possible.

This facility is very clean, updated, as a matter of fact they are currently painting and redecorating all hallways. My mother has no complaints at all regarding food or services. Everyone on staff is excellent beyond my expectations. My mother is thriving since she has moved in and it seems to be very happy. She has attended some of the activities in which she had a good time. She has become very social has made a few friends I just can't say enough good things about this place. Thank you so much for guiding us there.

So far everything is going very well. The staff is wonderful. His room is very nice. I would recommend them to others who are searching for care for their loved one.

From the first minute we walked into the building we felt it was the right place for mom. It is bright and quiet. The staff was smiling. [name removed] is incredibly patient and understanding. She answers every question and then some

The communication from the very beginning was very good. It helped understand what my moms experience would be like at the facility. They communicate updates with my mom too which I appreciate. The only real negative has been they have had a lot of turnover in a short amount of time and appear to be short staffed at times.

What we like the most about the community is that everybody living there has a lot of needs, but they are very experienced and you never see any chaos. They are able to anticipate needs and really take care of the residents

They're taking wonderful care of mom. The staff is very attentive and nice. They have activities every day, morning and afternoon, for the memory care residents. Mom seems very happy. The memory care staff genuinely like the residents.

The staff are very friendly to the residents and there is a comfortable atmosphere there. Overall friendly community, would recommend.
