Carnegie Assisted Living. A Good Choice.
Delivery of prescribed medications is excellent. Availability of nursing services is excellent. Aides are generally available but these assignments change. Sometimes it is difficult to find and talk to the aide assigned to your loved one. Director of Nursing Services is generally available and is responsive. Business manager and Marketing Director are responsive and friendly. Food is not great. Activities are very inclusive and varied. Activities aides are very nice to residents. Know them by name. Excellent value for the money

My Mom currently has a home health aide with her for 12 hrs. each day, so her interaction with activities and the Carnegie is limited. So far, things seem to be okay. We will be reducing the hours that a home health aide is with her so she can have more experience with Carnegie staff. Cleanliness, room size and dining are good.

We would recommend to others in need of an option in the area that doesn't require 2 years of self-pay. We had no other option available to us at that price point allowing for a minimum stay of 1 year/self-pay prior to Medicaid. All others are 2-year minimum.

My husband and I are very disappointed in this facility. My mother-in-law has been there over 5 months with little to no improvement. There was an incident where my mother-in-law had to call 911 on her own because her "call button" which she pressed multiple times did not result in anyone responding. They are still saying they are getting a new system. Not done. They have also misplaced her medication, resulting in missed doses of her medications. My other-in-law needed to point this out to them. The answer was to tell her to take it on her own. It was most upsetting that when my mother-in-law was in the hospital for 10 days, there was NO contact with the family or the resident during this time. The cleanliness/housekeeping of her room in inconsistent. Meal time is hectic and not a good experience. At this time, I would NOT recommend this facility as an option.

My brother has lived here for a number of years. I am happy to say that he has been very happy and well cared for during his stay. The staff has been very friendly and attentive and there have been many activities for him to participate in. During the past year his health has deteriorated and he has required much more attention. The staff has worked hard to meet his increasing needs until he became no longer able to live in an assisted living situation. Sadly, he has had to leave Carnegie but I will always be grateful for the support he received that enabled him to live comfortably, happily and safely. Thank you to all of the staff for their efforts on his behalf. We are grateful

My mom has been a resident at Carnegie for almost two years now. Like any other transition, there was an adjustment period. I've seen a huge improvement in mom's overall health and wellbeing since she has been at Carnegie. Mom has made friends with other residents, and I have observed positive changes in her level of engagement and socialization skills. If I have a concern, the appropriate staff has taken care of my concern(s). Timely follow up is sometimes a challenge; it's gotten better. The community has virtual family council meetings in an effort to hear direct feedback, questions and concerns from family members. Carnegie has events on holiday's which include both AL & Memory Care residents, and family members are invited, so they make an effort to be all-inclusive. Overall, the community is friendly and clean. My mom is happy, so I am happy.

The Summer Bash Party was delightful. Starting with the three accordian players inside who provided such nice music. The whole outside area held so many festive events for adults and children. There were pony and horse rides which were a lot of fun. Face painting that was so decorative. A Music MC who played terrific music from his positionon the grass in the middle of the event. There were fun games for children and adults. There was a lot of yummy food available. Some of the selections were candy apples, hot dogs with sauerkraut, hamburgers on a bun, vegetable strips and cheese cubes, watermelon, cinnabons, and other snacks and drinks.

Under new management, there has been steady, positive change and improvements. My mother has been here for over 2 years and is still content and very comfortable in this community. The staff, caregivers and nurses are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. There are activities and opportunities for stimulating social interaction for the residents throughout the week. The food is excellent during special events. When caring for an elderly loved one, no place or situation is perfect, but here, mom has a better quality of life and we are grateful for the daily care and peace of mind it provides to our family.

Carnegie is one of the best assisted livings in the area. The staff is extremely caring, treats everyone with dignity and respect. The residents are well taken care of and it shows on their smiling faces. This is a very welcoming environment where they make you feel like family. I would highly recommend anyone in need of ALF to consider Carnegie.

The sales person [name removed] will say whatever she needs to say imo to get your loved one booked here. She promised a garden view but my father was put in a room facing the front parking lot with the sun glaring in. She said they don’t quarantine there, they test but he was quarantined again even though he just went through Covid quarantine at the EVEN WORSE place we took him out of - both places played a major part in his eventual death - [facility removed] & this one. He must have weighed 90 pounds on the day he died and I regret not called the hospital that last day but there was supposed to be nurses, aides & doctors here so I didn’t call an ambulance-DO NOT go here -do not listen to their lies. They are so greedy imo that they approved my father for assisted living but he couldn’t walk and deteriorated even more rapidly once he arrived here -he needed nursing care. He didn’t get much care at all. We were working on getting home health care but I believe he starved to death & nurse nowhere!

All other places we had toured had bad things to say about this facility. We have talked to many people who had a bad experience here. I know that they have a very high turnover of everyday care staff. For us, they could not honor what they had originally promised and we are actively trying to get our deposit back. They keep giving us the run around and I do not think we are going to get it back.

We had a very good tour experience at Spring Hills Princeton. We had chosen them originally, but they were undergoing a renovation, and it was going to take too long for them to finish a room for my loved one.

We really like the staff members there, they are super friendly and very caring towards our loved one. However as far as improvements there were some discrepancies from what we were told from the marketing staff and then what was actually happening once our loved one moved in.

This community was nice my loved one just did not want a community that was two levels and wanted to be on one floor and flat . The tours were great just not a great fit for what we were looking for.

The staff are very friendly. The activity director is great also. The director takes the time to find out what the resident likes and adapts to a signature touch to make sure that they are targeting all of the residents. They also use a system where you can keep track of your residents activities during the week or month so that the family members can see what there loved one is doing. They are also in the process of transitioning from another company. They are working hard to put in place the value of Spring Hills. The resident concierge also keeps personal int rest in the residents. They also really welcomed my loved one when she came in with open arms.

Since Spring Hills took over its night and day better. The rooms are cleaned, laundry done without asking and the day nurse partners with residents family to organize care and Doctor visits. The management is so responsive and you can reach them when you need them. The food so much better. Concerns are addressed immediately even to a new room assignment. We are a team in my brother's care now. I can't thank them enough. A happier brother makes my life easier.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Know New Jersey’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about New Jersey’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.
Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
