Distinctive Living

The facility was very clean and neat. Most of the staff was very caring. I felt that the management and communication was a little unorganized.

You must ask questions. They will not come to you. The price was right. The rooms are ok in size, nice bathrooms. Activities are good. Choices for food.

I found this facility to be inviting when entering, the residents seem to be happy and comfortable. The tour was very informative and seeing what MiraVie has to offer was very educational to me being that it was my first tour of an assisted living , memory care facility.I was impressed to see it was clean and nicely appointed. As with many facilities in New Jersey the only draw back for me is the cost especially with the different levels in the memory care area, so for me it would be a financial reason not to choose Mira Vie other than that it would be a major contender!!

Staff was wonderful. Food was fairly simple and bland (mom's opinion). Care and ability to socialize was very good. Sometimes locking of the doors after it was hard for visitors. Maybe could be a better system for after our visitors.

They have caring staff. It is clean with decent sized rooms. The only negative was some belongings went missing but that could have been due to resident himself or other residents faulty memory. I would most definitely recommend them to others who are searching for care for their loved one.

Absolutely loved it. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was the room choices for assisted living were not good. Very small. That was the deal breaker for me.

Nice facility, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Staff took the time to explain various options, including LTC.

My Aunt loves the food, she loves the programs as well. I am frustrated with diaper changes at night. My Aunt can't ring for the night nurse, as she is sleeping and because of that they don't come and she wakes up soaking wet in her diaper. I believe we will eventually be able to resolve this.

What we like the most about the community is that it is clean with no smell. The food is decent. There is a lot that can be done there such as different activities.

What we like the most about the community is that they people are nice and attentive, facility is well kept and clean. Yes, we would recommend Mira Vie Brick to other families.

Staff is helpful and friendly. I recommend them...no place is perfect, but mira vie has been good in most ways.

I would not recommend the MC unit - it is much more like a long-term care facility where people get parked in front of the TV all day. They schedule 3 activities for the day, but they are almost always cancelled. Some of the staff in MC are burned out and unfriendly, but there are some good staff back there (just not many). The staff in the rest of the facility overall are good and congenial, and the services (housekeeping, PT, OT, etc.) are good. The handoff from sales/signing to the care manager is rocky and took a long time to happen. I've eaten there and feel it is passable, but there is nothing to write home about. I do worry it is not a low-sodium diet, which all seniors should be on IMHO. Special diets for certain medical conditions are not accommodated. The location is good, with Emergency right across the street. (UTMC is the closest hospital.) One good thing to know is that there is no nursing staff in the building overnight. I'd rate the Assisted living a 4 out of 5, but the memory care a 2.5

Overall very good experience with a staff of caring people and a nice environment

Mira Vie was so good to us! I am thankful. They were very gracious with my dad, but unfortunately, my dad had a level of dementia not fit for Mira Vie! I send my love to all the staff. They were very patient

The staff is friendly and attentive. Food is very good and plentiful. The facility is always kept clean and neat. They keep a close eye on the medications. There is always some type of entertainment or activity going on, some of which include family members. Most basic medical visits are on site, which leads me to my one major issue. The medical staff seems well qualified and does a good job, but as the primary person responsible for my mother's health care, it's very difficult to get information about who she sees her and what the prognosis is. I usually find out that a Dr. has seen her when I get the Medicare statement. This is an issue I'm working through. Overall I would recommend Mira Vie.

I would. Great place to live. The staff is friendly and the food is good. They provide many activities and help you feel welcome

My relative was at Mira Vie in West Milford. She liked it there very much and felt that she got good care. She made friends and enjoyed the ambience of the place.

Mira Vie is okay. My ex-husband never was and obviously still is difficult. However, l feel they need more staff, not only for the patients' care, but also for maintenance of the facility. But, I have nothing but respect, admiration and appreciation for the staff.

I will give them a 4 only because there was a change in management that seems to have shifted the "vibe" there over the last 3 months or so. I would recommend.

My mother complains that the dining room is too cold and it makes her food cold. Staff are all nice to her and very caring. My mother is not used to socializing and needs coaxing to participate with activities.
