The Residence at Basking Ridge

I can’t say enough about The Residence at Basking Ridge. Their location is great and the scenery is beautiful. The design of the building is also very impressive. Each element is well thought out and intentional. Aesthetically it’s beautiful, welcoming, and warm. I was also amazed at the quality of the food. Their standard all day offerings far exceed expectations and the additional specials are just at good. The Residence allows residents to choose from any menu at any time of day, a level of freedom that is hard to find. The wide variety of food is matched by the amount of engaging activities that are constantly available to residents. No review would be complete without mentioning their memory care section. It’s every bit as calming and welcoming as the rest of the building, but with the addition of scientifically backed design elements geared specifically towards aiding residents with cognitive decline. I strongly recommend touring around sundown to enjoy the aromas of pine that are piped in to create a feeling of calm and aid in relation before bedtime. But most important to mention is the staff. They are rockstars in their respective disciplines and their passion and care shines through in everything that they do. They work together as a seamless to create a truly exceptional experience and environment for their residents.

The facility is lovely and food terrific. However, it's the people and care they give that makes The Residence exceptional. From the first person we met, Ally, to the people who care for my mom everyday - Christina, Blaze, Elaine, Jackie, Naomi, Michelle, Valerie, Gina and so many more - each member of the team goes out of their way to ensure she is healthy and her days are filled with fun, laughter and enrichment. The staff are kind, compassionate skilled and accommodating. They make mom's new home seem like it's filled with family and we couldn't be more grateful and appreciative for the efforts they make everyday to be there for her. It's certainly a special place.

There aren't enough good things to say about The Residence at Basking Ridge. My mother has been a resident for almost 6 months and is very happy with the entire experience but mostly enjoys the people that work at The Residence. From the restaurant staff to the med technicians to the friendly faces that manage the front office, everyone has been absolutely wonderful and has made a very difficult transition seamless and warm! My family and I highly recommend!

Wow! The Residence is a game changer for our family. We are so pleased with the care given to Mom. The facility is top notch and the program is robust. I am beyond grateful for the support Mom has received during her respite stay this summer. We all love it so much that Mom will become a permanent resident shortly. As someone that works full time and needs to support Mom, I am thrilled she has this safe, vibrant, social community. Mom will be 94 and has adjusted beautifully! All the staff there is amazing! Gina, Lily, and Blaze have been kind, caring and fun. I encourage you to go for a tour with Ally. I am sure you will not be disappointed.
