Fox Trail Memory Care Living Park Ridge

My wife suffers with FTD and i find Park Ridge and Gina's staff to be as loving, caring, kind and professional with her as i would expect, but they also extend those qualities to me as well, what a bonus! She is flourishing there now thanks to Dr. Pantagis Gina and the entire staff! I definitely made the right choice! To see her smiling and interacting with the wonderful aides makes me so happy!

This memory care facility is outstanding. The staff are compassionate, patient, and truly dedicated to the well-being of every resident. The facility is always clean, safe, and welcoming, with a warm atmosphere that feels like home. Their activities are thoughtfully designed to keep residents engaged, active, and happy. Highly recommend this facility to anyone seeking quality memory care.

We just moved my mom from FL to NJ and she has transitioned to life at Fox Trail seamlessly. Gina is the Community Manager and an RN. She is the heart of the Park Ridge community, very knowledgeable and possesses infinite patience. Her staff of nurse's aides are caring, attentive and keep the residents busy all day. Gina is always available to provide them counsel and respond to inquiries from family members. She helped me brainstorm travel arrangements and put together a plan of action even before I signed the contract. The decision to move my Mom to NJ was extremely difficult but the best thing I could have done for both of us. The facility is like a huge house, but it’s the staff who make all the difference. Clinically trained to meet both the medical and emotional needs of their residents, they care for my mom with incredible attentiveness and love. Every concern was addressed promptly, and my mom is truly living now with comfort and respect. It takes a village to care for someone with dementia. Fox Trail is that village-- caring, warm, and endlessly supportive. Thank you to our amazing community director Gina for making Park Ridge feel like home! I highly recommend Fox Trail. I am confident that I made the right choice entrusting them with my Mom's care.

The decision to move my Mom into a memory care community was difficult. My son and I had been caring for her at home. Her dementia became worse. I researched multiple communities, both in person and through virtual visits. I live in New York and hadn't considered New Jersey. My search led me to Fox Trail Memory Care Living In Park Ridge, New Jersey. My first contact was with Carla who is the Regional Director of Sales. She inspires confidence, is compassionate, and professional. In a later conversation with my sister, I told her that whatever the female equivalent of a stand up guy is, Carla is it! Another impressively competent woman I spoke with was Catherine. Catherine is the Chief Operating Officer of the company. She drove to New York with a supervising nurse named Berrita. Beritta conducted the assessment of my Mom and administered a tuberculosis test, which was thankfully negative. My Mom loved Beritta, and with good reason. Beritta is a soft-spoken and intelligent woman, with a gift for connecting with dementia patients. Catherine went over the paperwork with me. Both women returned to my home on the day my Mom moved into Fox Trail, at Catherine's suggestion. My Mom was extremely resistant to making the move and I had expressed my concern that driving her there myself would be dangerous. Beritta rode to New Jersey with my Mom in the van I hired to transport them. The success of my Mom's transition to life at Fox Trail is owed to Gina. She is the Community Manager and also a registered nurse. Gina is the heart of the Park Ridge community. She is knowledgeable and possesses inifinite patience. Her staff of nurse's aides are caring and attentive. Gina is always available to provide them counsel and also respond to inquiries from family members. This is a woman who rolls her sleeves up and gets to work. She has even bathed my Mom personally. Life at Fox Trail is filled with fun and memory-enriching activities for the residents. The daily menu is impressive. The transition for my Mom has been rough. She has been to the local hospital on two occasions, once requiring admittance. I actually spent two nights in her room with her. Gina stayed in constant contact with me, assuaging my fears and providing support. This particular community is currently occupied by all women, and primarily run by women. Each employee serves a crucial function and they all work well together. I have had many conversations with Chelsea, the Regional Director of Strategic Programming and Partnerships. She is a highly credentialed dementia specialist. We discussed the broad range of feelings I was experiencing including guilt, sadness, inadequacy, and fear. Families are welcome to visit Fox Trail at any time. I have visited and am actually going to visit tomorrow with my son and our dog! My sister lives relatively close by and visits often. Gina has educated me during this process. I have wisely deferred to her sound advice. She keeps in regular contact with my sister and I as we both monitor my Mom's progress. Gina confers with the community's primary physician, Dr. Pantagis. I haven't had the opportunity to meet him in person yet, but he has been a kind and thorough professional. I highly recommend Fox Trail. I am confident that I made the right choice entrusting them with my Mom's care.
