Mattison Crossing at Manalapan Avenue

My mom loves it there! No complaints here! Everyone has been great to her and our family!

My dad has been at Mattison for a few months after transferring from another Assisted Living facility. The care he is receiving now is great and he really enjoys living there! They keep our family informed on everything thats going on. We feel that our dad is safe and we are very pleased with our decision to move him here!

My parents both came to what was called The Brookside TEN YEARS AGO this month. My dad died 3 years ago, and my mom continues to live there. There have been ups and downs, depending on who owned the faciltiy, and who was the Executive Director. Right now, during the COVID19 crisis, we have been overall very happy with the way thngs have been handled. The place had always been immaculate, and they always seem to be adding something or re-doing something to the main builiding, the enterntainment has been great, and the overall care has been really nice- as with any place, some staff make more of an effort and are warmer and demonstrate more caring than others, but overall my mom has always fallen in love with a few of the workers there at any one time,. During COVID19, they seemed to do their very best to keep residents safe, to keep families informed, and to give residents as much freedom as possible while putting their safety at a premium. The nursing staff has been pretty consistently outstanding. The present Executive Director, Devi, is wonderful, and is very responsive to concerns or questions. I have only two reservations about the place- One was that we chose it initially because having a kosher place and one with a significatn Jewish 'feel' to it was very important to us. This still exists, but generally over the years there has been a very gradual de-emphasis on this part of the facility and a loosening up of some of the more traditional Jewish emphasis. The other thing has been the food, which has always been somewhat disappointing, but particularly challenging during COVID19 when food was delivered to the rooms. We have been told many times that they are working on this, and have been disappointed in the past, but are hopeful that the present Executive Director, and new head of the ktichen will finally be able to turn this around. But when it comes to the most important things- social connection, cleanlinness and safety and health issues, and overall a caring environment, we have been pleased.

My husband entered the facility in very poor condition, in 6 months its amazing how his condition has greatly improved. Very good staffing! Thank you to all!

Lots of rules and food is awful.
