We were very impressed so much so that we are going to live there. They were the only assisted living facility that we looked into that had a nurse on duty 24/7. That was very important to us. It also had nice little apartments that suited our needs. Overall, a very clean and pleasant atmosphere. The dining hall was open 7 to 7. No assigned seating or time. Thank you for sending us there.

Review for Ciel of Princeton

The dining was very good and changed with resident input. Good chef. The management was efficient and friendly. The had a nice daily cocktail hour. I suspect activities were average. Most of the residents loved their homes and the staff. Both managers and residents were all on a first name basis. We had a very good experience. My Mom's room was a nice manigible size and the place was clean always.

Review for Ciel of Princeton

It is a lovely place but there are many additional charges some of which are excessive and/or unreasonable and the atmosphere is not really welcoming in the memory care unit. They could fix it if they tried with better staff and more empathy. I think that the assisted living part is probably fine, the memory care group is more needy and deserves a kinder approach.

Review for Ciel of Princeton

I felt it was a nice facility, it was very clean and most of the of people there were nice. It lacked the one on one care my husband needed, because he has Alzheimer disease so he needed a lot of attention, I didn't feel like the staff there understood his needs. It is a good place for people who don't require a lot of help. My husband needed to be watched and helped with everything. I didn't feel he was happy there at all. My advice is don't put your family members there if they need a lot of assistance with every thing. It us not for people with severe dementia.

The place is bright, cheerful and welcoming. Rooms are spacious and bright. Large dining area separate from the activities area. Activities include walk around the facility (indoors on cold/rainy days), craft making, coloring, musical activities, dancing, trivia.

It depends on the person's needs. Every case is different.

I just wouldn't recommend Ciel of Princeton to anybody with severe dementia. Not for people who need one on one care. Just my opinion.

Ciel, a good choice

Ciel has been a good choice of assisted living for my husband. I appreciated their assessment and recommendation for level of placement most beneficial for him. There are a variety of activities offered, even on weekends. The menu is varied and mostly healthy. The staff is welcoming and available whenever I have concerns or questions.

Very good tour experience. The facility is very big, overwhelming actually. Heard about turnover issues. Sales person was very friendly and we liked her a lot but turned me off with last minute hard sell at end of the month too. Also, just saw another facility and it seemed like a better fit.

Marketing Materials and Looks are Deceiving!!

Facility is understaffed, rooms are dirty, food is greasy & sub-standard, patient care is inadequate, even tho there are few residents., maybe 1/3 full at best. Needed repairs to apartments are overlooked, still waiting for a broken wheelchair to be replaced (it's been weeks), large staff turnover, including recent termination of the Executive Director. Harbor Chase offers many "amenities" on paper & gives a flashy first impression. It is also one of the most expensive facilities in the area. However, the care of its residents should be its top priority, & that is lacking. The existing staff are friendly & are as helpful as they can be, given that like most organizations today they are severely under-staffed.As a new fancy high-end facility, Harbor Chase may be a victim of the times, but thus far it has been a huge disappointment. My loved one deserves better & needs 24/7 care, & should probably be in Memory Care, but is in Assisted Living, partly due to difficult family dynamics.

Best Facility in the Tri State Area

My family searched for a facility that would meet the needs of my elderly parents for +2 years. We feel so incredibly blessed to have found HarborChase at Princeton. My father has mild dementia and uses a wheelchair and my stepmom has moderate dementia but no difficulty walking. We looked at facilities all over NJ, PA, and NY. All of them told us we either had to split my parents up into separate units- skilled nursing for my dad and assisted living for my mom- or pay for a 24/7 aide for my father in assisted living - which he does not need and he cannot afford. It was such a relief when staff at HarborChase told us they took an individualized approach to caring for their residents. They were able to place my parents together in the same apartment. Their staff have been incredibly kind and attentive. The physical beauty of the facility, the busy activities schedule, and the amazing food are also greatly appreciated.

A positive experience

My dad loves HarborChase of Princeton. The residents are all very welcoming to new residents and make them feel comfortable. He actually just joined their welcoming committee, they really go out of their way to include new residents in everything. I like that all of the residents here are new since it is newer, so there are no cliques formed. What originally enticed him that if you do not like the entre you could get something al a carte and they have been taking that option away recently. There is not a lot of variety based off of what it used to be. I know that they are actively working on things though. Overall I would absolutely recommend the facility to others looking. My son is in the medical field and he was very impressed from not only a loved ones point of view, but from a doctors point of view.

Tips for evaluating your community options

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.
