When I went to The Chelsea at East Brunswick, I saw staff interacting with the residents, which I liked. I kind of felt like I had to see something like that to see how they treated the residents. They were all very friendly. The residents even said hello to me. It was a nice community. I'm leaning more towards that one only because mom has about two years to pay out of pocket, and if she's a little short, they'll work with me. That's the conversation I had with the people at The Chelsea. I want to make sure that they would have a room for my mom when she switches over to Medicaid. They also have people in-house that I could deal with for that transition when that happens. The woman at The Chelsea was very nice. Every question I asked her, she had an answer. When you go visit, on your way out, they give you a little box and it's something from their bakery that the chef made and this happened to be a blueberry muffin and it was delicious. I didn't save it for anyone. I ate the whole thing myself. The facility was very clean, very new, and very updated. They had beautiful flooring down. They have a hair salon, and they have certain doctors come in like podiatrists and things like that for the residents. They have their cable TV, and they try to keep them out of their rooms and involved in all kinds of little activities there, bingo, baking, stuff like that.

Mom is very, very happy at The Chelsea at East Brunswick. They're very caring, the place is beautiful, and they're very attentive. The only negative is the food is not great, but I don't think any of the food is great in these places. Most of the staff are very friendly and attentive, but there are those for whom it's just a job. They need to get a new chef. The place is elegant; it's not modern, but it's well kept. Mom is now in the memory care unit. She was in the assisted living in the first couple of months, but she's been moved over to memory care. She's safe and comfortable, and it's very homey.
