My sister’s been living at this lovely, calm, immaculate, cozy-comfy community for approximately 3 years now. Even found herself a devoted boyfriend! But for me, what I love, is that after bringing my sister back to Arbor from the hospital yesterday where she underwent emergency surgery…the staff was on it!!! They took immediate care of her, knowing exactly what to do, what supplies to order for her aftercare…I did not have to do a thing!! I left my sister in the arms of her boyfriend, comfortable in knowing she was getting the best care possible. Thank you Arbor!!!

I just visited Arbor Terrace in Norwood, New Jersey. What an incredible place! Every person I met had a smile. I even got to dance with the culinary manager. Residents are at the assisted living or memory care level. The staff are very on top of making sure everyone gets out, gets social, and gets their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs met. Thank you Kerry, Xiomara, and Carlos!
