I am a RN from an outside agency . I am writing this review because the care here is outstanding . Melanie , Sourabh, Garman and Cherry are the dream team. They employ top notch medication technicians and caregivers. The motto appears to be " I always have time to help." The residents are always happy, and the grounds are super clean . I am always impressed with the activities here . I would give them 10 stars, but my option is only 5 . If my loved one ever needed extra help, I would definitely choose Aldersly . They are amazing

After living here for nine months we feel very fortunate to have Aldersly. It truly is a wonderful place to grow older. What stands out most is the people, the staff are consistently warm, caring, and dedicated. They genuinely go out of their way to help. The food is excellent, with plenty of variety and flexibility, and meals or something we look forward to every day. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful with gardens and walking paths that make it a pleasure to just be outside. There’s always something going on too, exercise classes, music, lectures. Engaged. We also appreciate the practical: Well maintained departments, helpful services like transportation and IT support and the reassurance of a full continuum of care as needs All in all, to us Aldersly Offers a rare combination of warmth, quality, and peace of mind. It feels like home.

Our family recently toured Aldersly's Memory Care community while looking for the right fit for my mom, and we came away very impressed. Michael, the Sales Director, was welcoming and took time to genuinely answer our questions. The community feels warm and well cared for, and the garden grounds are absolutely beautiful. The food was a highlight and the menu is thoughtful and clearly an important part of daily life for residents. What really caught our attention was the Happiness Program, a light-based holographic game system designed specifically for people living with dementia. Watching the demonstration was fascinating. It's engaging and joyful, and you can see how it brings real moments of connection to residents throughout the day. Aldersly gives our family a lot of confidence as we work through this decision. If you're exploring Memory Care options, this community is well worth a visit.

A wonderful place with a caring atmosphere. Aldersly Retirement Community is even better than I ever dreamed of. The location is great, and one doesn't feel cut off from the world; you can still live a normal life without the need for a car. What stands out most to me is the kindness of everyone here, from top to bottom. They truly aim to please and resolve whatever problems may arise. Our dinners are wonderful, and we have a great chef! One really has to come and visit to see what I mean—I have only been here eight months, but I already love the place. Daniele PV
