We moved my Mom to Emerson Brookdale from Texas back in March. She is really enjoying her time there. She especially enjoys the activities planned by Carol, the Event Organizer! The have multi-cultural events, museum field trips, magic and musical entertainment as well as seasonal events with entertainment. Mom is having a great time and we appreciate Carol so much for all she does! Did I mention the activities? Last week they made gorgeous fall wreaths! There is flower arranging, rock painting and flower pot painting! Thanks Carol for keeping your residents entertained and engaged!

My family moved my recently widowed 91 year old father to memory care at Brookdale Emerson 3 months ago, and I am very happy with our decision. After my mother died, his dementia got worse & he was becoming depressed & isolated living in his home, even with 24/7 caregivers. Since moving him here, he is so much happier! I credit the tender & loving care of the staff in Clare Bridge (memory care unit), led by Teresita García. For the first time in years, I no longer worry about my father's physical or emotional wellbeing because I know he is in great hands.

We moved my Dad into the memory care ward in January. The transition was easier than expected. The staff is very kind attentive and patient. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. It’s a small group of residents, so it’s more personal. And when I visited on Saturday (less than 4 months there), Dad was saying how much he felt at home there and enjoyed both the staff and the residents. That’s a great feeling because it’s emotionally difficult for children to move parents into a care facility. Thank you to all of the staff and management at Brookdale - Emerson, NJ.

There are plenty of activities, a strong social community between the residents and the staff. The rooms are nice, great care is taken to keep the building clean and safe, and the nursing staff is very attentive and try their best to keep everyone healthy. They work hard to accommodate the residents for their various needs, are very quick to respond to emergencies and are experienced enough to determine whether or not a resident requires more acute medical attention.
