Really good

Overall, excellent staff and care. The food is usually good but could be improved according to my mom. I like the facilities and ambience. The staff has a way of being really friendly and not intrusive.

Facility seems well priced. Apartments are small and basic but updated and clean. Staff person taking us around was very pleasant and tried to be helpful. Outside grounds are very small and limited. No exercise room. No designated room for other activities such as exercise or art nor a designated theater/lecture room. These take place in front lobby area. Very small in independent living area. Only about 20 apartments. Dinning room very basic with limited food service., Survey questions are very incomplete. Staff was fine. Facility is limited in what is available.

overall a nice facility with room for improvement

Studio apartment is perfect size, modern, updated. Many upgrades to facility, new paint, carpet, furniture, décor, etc. Food service has gone way downhill, quality of food, portions, I believe facility is looking for a new chef. Other than food, I would say it really is a very nice facility. A lot of new staff and management so they may be going through an adjustment period, but all are friendly and helpful.

Room for improvement

The staff is very nice...the food is poor. Definitely not as presented in the brochure. My mom sent back a pork chop a while ago. She never sends back food. Another resident sent back the same dish. It was inedible. Her apartment is nice. However, there isn't any room in the kitchen terrace to make a cup of tea.

The Staff is very friendly. The place is clean and the nurses are attentive. More activities are needed. More diverse menu as well. The cable TV is terrible and the WiFi too weak.

Review for Mira Vie Fanwood

This facility is very clean, updated, as a matter of fact they are currently painting and redecorating all hallways. My mother has no complaints at all regarding food or services. Everyone on staff is excellent beyond my expectations. My mother is thriving since she has moved in and it seems to be very happy. She has attended some of the activities in which she had a good time. She has become very social has made a few friends I just can't say enough good things about this place. Thank you so much for guiding us there.

Review for Mira Vie Fanwood

My Aunt loves the food, she loves the programs as well. I am frustrated with diaper changes at night. My Aunt can't ring for the night nurse, as she is sleeping and because of that they don't come and she wakes up soaking wet in her diaper. I believe we will eventually be able to resolve this.

Mira Vie is an excellent facility

Excellent and friendly staff, paired with a clean, well-planned facility, made my overall experience very positive. Everyone I interacted with was attentive, professional, and genuinely kind, which helped create a welcoming environment from the moment I arrived. The layout and cleanliness of the facility also stood out — everything felt organized, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. The only drawback was that the paperwork required for admission felt a bit excessive and time-consuming. While I understand the need for thorough documentation, simplifying the process or offering some portions digitally ahead of time could make the experience even smoother. Overall, though, I was very impressed and appreciative of the care and atmosphere provided.

Not professional or responsive I would not recommend them. They can improve by being more responsive to family members and caregivers of prospective clients and communication of the process from start to finish would have helped.

My Mother has been at the facility for approximately 45 days as of today. The facility is very clean and the staff is very nice and attentive to her needs. I love that her medical needs can be met on-site. And the dinning program is excellent. She is on a waiting list for Independent living and is struggling with the social interactions with others in the Assisted Living environment. We were informed that she can go to the Independent living side and participate in their activities. So they do try and problem solve to meet the needs of the residents.

Finally a community that feels RIGHT!

I came into community to visit a friend's Mom and from the concierge to the dining staff and activites and the Administrator everyone was exceptionally attentive and warm. The team strives to treat each resident special. They genuinely care for each resident there. I came during thier Mothers Day Luncheon and they really rolled out the red carpet for all the Moms present. There was a beautiful spread of food and assorted drinks. I highly recommend this community to anyone making the decision to find the best place for thier loved one! This community cares!

Stay far away! Majority of the photos on this site are not even close to reality. This place looks like it’s about to fall apart any second. Extremely outdated for the prices they are asking for a Resident to pay. Common areas are unkempt. Bathrooms filthy. Ceiling tiles stained, falling out. Elevators old and slow. Looks like nothing has been updated in the building since the early 70’s. It smelled of must. My husband and I were shocked at how different it was from the photos on the website. We called for IL and my husband had to call the sales person multiple times to try to schedule. Never received a call back. Had to stop in unexpected to try to catch someone to give us a tour. Desk workers had to call several Managers before finally getting someone to reluctantly give us a tour. Construction happening, residents were sleeping in common area, there was no activities, so they must have fallen asleep due to boredom. Residents looked miserable. Save yourself time and go somewhere else

Stay Away.

The high scores this place gets was from the previous owners. This place is grossly mismanaged on a variety of levels. Only care about the almighty dollar and not the best interest of the Residents. In one year they have been through more Directors then I can even keep count of and I don’t see the current ones being there for much longer either. Calls go unanswered, no call backs, communication is non existent. I am currently touring other Facilities for my loved one.

Hope things stay the same with new management

Very attentive, friendly and like my brother says, kind staff members. Chelsea at Fanwood was just bought over. Now called Mira Vie. The new director seems very nice & staff is staying the same but I just received the May bill and it's all wrong. I have a call into the director but haven't received call back today. Have to see how this will go.

We Are Very Happy With The Place That We Choose, and My Loved One is Happy Here

This is the best place and we think it is amazing. We have been very happy with our experience here. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones and already have. My loved one loves the food and it is the best. They have healthy meals with large portions. Bingo, rosary, social hour, exercises, and more are some of the activities for the residents to choose from. They even have a shuttle bus to take residents to shopping centers. The staff are very courtesy, knowledgeable and professional to work with.
