"Would overall recommend

I would give a rating of 5 for all except Overall experience and value for the money. I would give a 4 for money value and a 4 for overall experience due to assessing level of care incorrectly and a very poor billing process. The facility is lovely. Very bright and very clean and the staff is wonderful. Very attentive and caring. They are very friendly and kind. They respond quickly to requests.[name removed], the community relations director had been very accommodating to requests. When I mentioned that religion and saying the rosary was important to my sister he organized a resident led prayer group that meets once a week.

Review for The Chelsea at Fair Lawn

As with most places, the staff has a decently high turnover rate but overall they are compassionate and competent. The staff has always been kind and lovely to her. We have exceptionally few complaints about anything.

Peace of mind for my family

My mother moved to The Chelsea at Fair Lawn after having lived for two years at a residence that was having issues with their administration and staff and this was was affecting her quality of life. She has now been at The Chelsea at Fair Lawn for four months and has been much happier. She has been pleased with the food and services and has found the staff to be consistently pleasant and professional. Since she moved, my family has had peace of mind knowing that she’s in a residence where she feels safe and comfortable.

Exceptionally nice employees and extraordinary delicious food and always clean.

We are very happy with The Chelsea At Fair Lawn. The staff are always in a good mood and very nice. The food is fantastic. The grounds are always clean and well kept. We like that. They have physicians come to the facility, which makes things so much easier than Having to transport my mom to a doctors office and waiting in a crowded waiting room.

I am the sister of one of the independent living residents. I went with my brother to view Chelsea and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. They answered all our questions and showed us a one bedroom apartment, as well as a two bedroom. I found Chelsea to be very clean inside, as well as outside. To the best of my knowledge the move in process went well. My brother was able to have furniture delivered to his room prior to moving in. I can't speak to the quality of the meals since I don't live there. I would recommend Chelsea to anyone who asks!

Caring staff

The director and caretakers are all wonderful and attentive. We hated to have to leave. The medical services did not impress. They changed my father's Lewy body dementia meds without consultation with former docs or family. This switch to a drug that he did not tolerate well before the Chelsea lead to several hospital er and pysch unit stays and a declined condition. The Chelsea was not prepared to care for him after the decline. The memory care coordinator [name removed] is so caring, she still keeps track and visited my dad at his nursing home.

Friendly facility

Faculty and staff are warm, friendly and try very hard. The chef has been put in a difficult spot. He has to cook for the independent residents at the same time as the assisted residents. Therefore since the assisted section opened the food has changed. No longer tasty and more suited to people on restricted diets. My mom and others are very unhappy with the change. Dinner staff is insufficient. Food is cold.

Entire Staff has been very helpful

The process for moving into the Independent living facility was smoothly accomplished with the help of the Chelsea staff. The apartment was so nice and accommodated all our needs. Circumstances necessitated a change to Assisted Living. Here again the staff was most amenable to facilitating the steps necessary to accomplish this. The Assisted Living building is very well appointed and should easily meet the needs of its future residents.

A "great" place for Mom.

I picked this community, because of the closeness to my family; cost; smaller community - less residents, more opportunity to meet and make friends; near stores - grocery (ShopRite) etc) hair salons, restaurants, banks, senior center, Community Center, Pharmacies, clothing stores,Doctors, Dentists, etc etc all within 2 -3 miles. Facility is brand new, underground parking, allows pets. Many stores within walking distance. It has lived up to my expectations. There were a few minor glitches because it is a new construction but they were quickly addressed by the very competent and friendly staff. I would highly recommend it.
