Arden Courts of Whippany

We feel very lucky to have found Arden Courts of Whippany. We visited several facilities before choosing Arden Courts for our family member a year and a half ago. The thing that set AC apart from the other places we looked at is that all of the residents are here for memory care. It isn't just a wing in a nursing home. Everything from the building and grounds to the daily schedule has been designed specifically for memory care. Once our family member moved in, we were able to see the intangible benefits of AC. After each visit, my husband and I turn to eachother and say he's in the right place. It's been a huge releif for us to know that our family member is being well cared for by caring professionals. He's much better off living in this community than if he had been isolated with just us this whole time. We visit often and find our family member engaged in activities like bingo, chair exercises, music, snack times, etc. Other times he's napping when we arrive. Participation in activities is encouraged, but never forced on residents. Today we are visiting with our dog outside in the peaceful fenced in courtyard that goes all around the building.

Really impressed with Arden Courts of Whippany after touring today. I really appreciated the time Barbara and Samantha spent with me today - a lot of great insights and I felt they really understood my needs. I love that this is not a typical institution - it combines a nice homey feel with quality care specifically for Alzheimer's patients - right in our own community. I have to admit I was surprised by its warm, caring (and clean) environment, and I liked their focus on keeping the residents engaged and stimulated. Great staff to resident ratio and the staff seem very attentive, interacting a lot with the residents. Really worth checking this out.

Our family also visited several other places, and we decided on Arden Courts because it was a memory care only facility and because there was more of a homey vibe. It was the right choice for our aunt. Personnel were professional, caring and kind from the administration and office staff to the care givers and custodians. I was impressed by the variety of stimulating and fun activities planned daily for residents. The health of residents is continually monitored and they receive skilled nursing care, while Arden Courts communicates with family members. Overall, it was a very positive experience.

Dear ProMedica Senior Care, I am writing to thank the staff at Arden Courts in Whippany for the excellent care my husband, Jeff Erven is receiving. The staff are amazing and he is receiving the best care. Last year my husband’s health began to deteriorate. He was hospitalized several times and had two surgeries. After each hospitalization he was admitted to a care facility to recover. I was aware of the facilities in my area and none of them could meet my expectations. The care left a lot to be desired. I brought him home after each stay. As time went on I realized that he needed more help than I could provide. I started to look at different providers since I was familiar with the different facilities. When I took the tour at Arden Courts I immediately knew this where my husband belonged. I liked the at home atmosphere. The staff were so friendly, they would interact with the residents, the facility was immaculate. All the residents were happy and I could tell they are well taken care of. It was not an easy decision for me and my family, but we realized that it was the best decision for Jeff. I also have a disabled adult child who needs constant care, so it was challenging for me to meet everyone needs. When I visit Jeff, he is happy all his needs are being met. When we bring him home or take him out he refers to Arden Courts as his home. He calls it “home sweet home”. I am grateful to all the staff for giving my husband the care that he needs. Arden Courts is perfect. Anyone who is facing the placement of a loved one should consider Arden Courts. It is a decision that they will not regret. Thank you Arden Courts for the excellent care that I husband is receiving. I would be lost without you.

When I no longer was able to take care of my husband, I faced the difficult decision to find a facility for him. I toured several places, and none met my expectations. Arden Courts was my last tour and I was so impressed with the staff and facilities. The facility is clean, each residents room was immaculate. I saw the staff interacting with the residents. Each resident was smiling and happy. I knew then that a found the perfect place for my husband. Besides dementia my husband has multiple medical issues and all of these issues are well taken care of. I sometimes take my husband home for an afternoon or we go out for lunch, but he looks forward to going “home”. Every day I am grateful to Arden Courts for the outstanding care that my husband receives. Thank you Arden Courts.
