Chelsea Senior Living

The staff during the tour was wonderful. The community was more than we wanted to spend, and the community was too large for my loved one. I didn't feel as a welcoming and a homey feeling when we walked into the community.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. They are trying very hard. This is a newer community and have been open for about nine months. The staff they have are very good; however, they are understaffed and working on it. There is a movie theater that they could show more movies geared towards the residents genre. It would be nice to see religious activities coming into the community. They are trying very hard, overall.

The staff seems helpful and friendly is a positive The activities are geared towards bingo and childish games Also, they don't have car services for the residents to go to doctor appointments as part of the price. My loved one sometimes feels like a prisoner

Very good. Friendly staff, good food and good activities. All of the above categories are good.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a nice tour experience but we are just knocking it down a star because it just did not seem as clean as other communities we had toured.

We like the people there are very nice, they take time to talk to you when you come to visit. Sometimes the care does waiver and occasionally they do need more staffing

Just like everyone else they are struggling with staffing due to all the Covid regulations. The nursing staff is not what it was when our loved one first moved in, they could use more aides who listen to the residents and families.

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.
