Highly recommended for your loved ones.

Staff was amazing. Very attentive. My mom loved them all. Activities were endless. The 3:00 happy hour with music was a favorite. My mom is a picky eater. She was never satisfied with the food. They did offer an alternative menu which was nice.

Overall, a really nice community wish we could've stayed longer

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food could use a bit of improvement. There was a good variety of activities planned, and nice areas to explore in your free time such as a library and game room.

Overall a good place

Very clean and my Fathers only real complaint is the food. Some of front desk staff are super friendly. One is particularly grumpy and seems put out at times. Also a few tenants that have been there for a long time are a little outspoken at times. I wish they had a place to walk. The entrance is a huge hill.

Hillside retreat in Mt. Arlington

Facility is very clean hotel style with long hallways. Most of the rooms are a decent size. Large front porch is only outdoor space. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. In house PT and OT. Social happy hour everyday at 3 pm.

Simple put, FANTASTIC,

It is an absolute surprise, I love it there. The team is great and attentive, the food is excellent. What I like the most is the visible connection of the team. Each person makes visual contact. The food is great. The entire experience is like one is going on vacation and feel like you will be walking into the back where there will be a swimming pool with a bar in the pool. The response on inquiry is faster than most places. I love it there. Sincerely [name removed]

Review for Mt. Arlington Senior Living

The facility is clean and I am pleased with the majority of the staff. They are good to my mom which is the most important point. The food needs improvement as well as the activities for the residents, especially the crafts. More activities should be directed to the male population. Smoking is allowed on one side of the front porch but there is no barrier to separate it. Therefore, the wind blows it which bothers some residents. I would recommend the facility because they do not nickel-and-dime you like other facilities.

Great choice for loved one

Very happy with the care of Mt Arlington. Very clean, people are all very friendly, food is good, and my loved one is happy. I would highly recommend this community to anyone looking for care. It is in a great location and they really make you feel like home. The rooms are nicely sized and for the price you can not go wrong.

Mt. Arlington

The staff is friendly and courteous. The facility has a front porch but it would be nice if there was a larger space for residents to enjoy the outdoors. My father-in-law tells us that the food is not so good, not much flavor and meat is tough. He does seem to like the breakfasts.

A Nice Place Overall

Overall, it's a very nice, friendly, clean place that I think anybody would be happy living in. My loved one seems happy there for the most part. I think the staff try to do the best they can for her when she voices a concern. They seem like good people overall. She likes the food generally. For the most part, it's been a pretty good experience.

Tour of Mt. Arlington

We did a virtual tour with Mt. Arlington and it was a very nice facility. It was actually our second choice, but we had previous experience with another facility and this one was a little further away for family members.

Nice looking place

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. This seemed like a nice place! It was clean, the staff and residents looked like they got along well, and there seemed to be a lot of activities. It was a bit too far to be an option for our family, but it was somewhere I would have been comfortable placing my loved one.

very nice

One thing they have done that has been very very nice is that the first day my mother-in-law was there all the department heads stopped by to meet her personally. They know and greet her by name. It has been really very good. Her condition greatly improved during her stay there at Mt. Arlington Senior Living and I would highly recommend them.

Mt Arlington is a lovely assisted living facility. The overall staff are friendly and the facility kept very clean and decorated beautifully. The Bridge to Rediscovery Unit (aka-dementia unit) however, needs some improvement in communication with staff and family members. These residents have no one to communicate for them. If questions are asked regarding their activities or care, you do not always get an answer. As this is not a nursing home, there is no documentation as to how their day went, how they slept, if showered etc. We are asked to question the nurse about all these things. As she visits these residents she is aware of their medical needs but isn't there all day to know all these answers. As you must be an advocate for an ill parent or loved one, you need to question things. Unfortunately, you feel certain nursing staff(director) trying to avoid you and will not even acknowledge you. This is disappointing, but overall they are friendly and try hard to accommodate you. The staff does their best on a floor that I'm sure can be very difficult. Activities on this floor, again, while difficult, need extra hands to assist. Perhaps trying to reach out to nearby towns, schools,churches etc for volunteers to assist with crafts, games etc.
