I spoke to the owner 2 times about respite care for my husband and she said that she would work with me. I went to visit the facility and had a meeting with the owner. Promised me that she could accomadate me. She also said that she would call me by the end of Feb.2025.to let me know if she had a room. THANK GOD I didn't wait for her phone call. Time was important to me. Can't believe everything you hear. I had to post pone my surgery.

My sister-in law has been in Alcoeur Gardens of Toms River for approximately 3years and she loves it there. She is well taken care of both mentally and physically. The staff is very caring and knowledgeable. The place itself is well taken care of, and the food is prepared fresh for every meal. It has a very homey feeling. The grounds and home is decorated for every season and holiday.

As our loved one's dementia progressed, the large facility where she previously resided could no longer provide the intensive care needed. Thankfully, we found Alcoeur Gardens! The small number of residents allows the incredible staff to devote maximum attention. The community feels like a family including the residents, their family members and the Alcoeur staff. It is very comforting to our family knowing she is in such good hands 24 hours a day.

I am so happy I found this place for my husband. They are the most caring people I have met. The staff is wonderful and taking really care of my husband. The food is good, the place is exceptionally clean and the nursing staff is exceptional as well. Its like living in a hotel. He is happy there which is a big plus also.
