Not recommended for Alzheimer’s or dementia patients. Please visit on a weekend before making any decisions. Weekends and holidays are staffed by agency staffing with little training. There is very little Continuity of care from a weekday to a weekend. We have had medication issues as well as issues of my father left in bed for up to 18 hours because he is unaware of his situation and agency staffing do not attempt to get him up, dressed and taken to the bathroom. If your loved one cannot advocate for him/herself be prepared to spend weekends there helping. You become a volunteer on weekends and holidays.

I was very pleased with my experience visiting at The Veterans Home in Paramus. The front desk person and her daughter assisted me in finding my way to "The Valor Wing."' Also, Michele and her entire kitchen staff were gracious and helpful in providing a delicious meal at low cost. The cook also should be commended. I had a good, fresh meal.

I appreciate them carrying for my husband, however I realize that you cannot leave a loved one in a permanent care facility and not check on them. I have had to make sure he is treated with dignity because some staff members might think they don't have to so I check on him often.

My mother is a resident on the Serenity Unit. She has dementia and always is treated with dignity and respect by every member of the staff. We are kept informed by the outstanding nursing team about their mother’s condition consistently. The CEO has zoom meetings on a weekly basis to update us on any new information. The atmosphere is friendly and helpful. There is not a department in this facility that is not there to make the veterans lives better and to show them how much they are appreciated for their service to our country.
