Distinctive Living

It's 5 stars, although very expensive. They take very good care of their clients. I felt at ease. I live two hours away form my brother and I knew he was safe and well taken care of. The staff is awesome!!! Sometimes communication can be an issue. I told them my brother wasn't going to stay if he could take care of himself. So I don't think they were happy about that. He got better enough that I now have sold his house in basking ridge and he has moved down the shore. HIs son helps him on weekends and I have an aid there in the morning.

They are communicative of what is going on with my dad. They met with me and made everything happen quickly. Priced better than others

Polite, inviting, informative, asking questions about what I was looking for and getting a sense of what they could offer to help them settle in easier. Spacious, natural light, clean surroundings. Friendly staff. Provide activity to encourage residents to interact. I was impressed that the Director knew her residents names as we toured the facility. More than just money coming in, people to be respected.

Mira vie is wonderful, thank you. [name removed] was great with all my questions. The nurses are great and the aides with helping my dad settle in.

Mira vie has been fine, wish we had known a full interior renovation was going to be going on shortly after we arrived. Living in a construction zone has been problematic. They have been very accommodating , my mother has not been an easy resident.

I would give them 5 stars. The staff is great, the food is perfect for my sister, and the activities are numerous.

What we like the most about the community are the activities and the overall value. We would recommend this community to other families.

The entire entrance process was straightforward and efficient. My mom was able to move into her spacious, one bedroom apartment within one month of completing paperwork. There are a variety of activities from crafting and karaoke to social hour and visits with Otis the therapy dog. My mom has found numerous activities that are enjoyable. The options for breakfast, lunch and dinner are many and my mom enjoys socializing with fellow residents during meals. Her laundry including sheets and towels are washed, dried, folded and returned every Wednesday, along with having her bed made and apartment cleaned. Living at Mira Vie at Brookfield allows my mom to do what she loves, not chores and housekeeping.

Friendly all questions answered very clean. Still investigating but this place is a front runner! Love the staff!

I recently had to make the most difficult decision of my life. My Mom is 90 and has dementia and was living with me for the last 2 years. I reached a point where i was no longer able to care for her properly. I reached out to Mira Vie and connected with Sunny. She was absolutely SPECTACULAR. She helped me through the entire process. I was not able to get my Mom to go willingly so I had to have an Ambulance take her to the hospital. Thank goodness I did as she had a very bad infection in her toe. Sunny talked me through everything. The day she went to the hospital I had to bring her belongings to Mira Vie. I arrived there and was totally distraught and upset about the entire situation. As I came around the corner to go to my Mom's room in tears, Sunny was walking towards me. She saw me and gave me a big hug and assured me everything would be fine. I will NEVER forget the kindness and compassion she showed me that day. Mom is now there since March 9th and adjusting well. Thank you Sunny!

The apartment size is really nice. I was able to arrange furniture to have a living room and bedroom. I have never seen such a clean facility. Never any odor like other facilities. They always have activities and events that include the family. The entire staff is wonderful. They are always attentive to their residents and receptive to any concerns or requests of family members. The food: Well, my brother gained 22 pound in just 6 months living there. We couldn't be happier with our choice. We recommend it to everyone.

It was great, they made us feel very welcomed and gave us a nice tour of everything. She also went over all prices and paperwork that we needed to know about.

The facility is very clean and well maintained. It seems that they update regularly to keep things fresh and clean. We noticed while touring the facility, there was a lot of activity! Many residents and staff members were moving about engaging one another! We were greeted by many residents who seemed to be very happy and active! The staff has always been so helpful in all aspects of transitioning from facility to facility! They truly care about those under there care! They even visited my Mom while she was in a rehab facility! We have toured many facilities and by far this was the most inviting. My Mom and our entire family are so thankful that Mira Vie was our final decision!

Every staff member at Mira Vie in West Milford was so kind and welcoming to us from the first minute to the last of our experience there. They laid out all of the options for our loved one and talked us through anything and everything we needed. We felt no pressure nor did we feel “sold to” - we got to see how the facility operates, what’s in the works, what under construction, etc… I am SO excited to bring our loved one on their own tour soon to (hopefully) fall in love with their new home. We could not have been happier with our experience.

Very nice feeling walking through the facility. Felt very comfortable. Nice to see the staff interacting with the patients.

The facilities are like a 5-star hotel, always clean, dining room is lovely and always with interesting and tasty meal options, staff very friendly although sometimes hard to find/speak to administrators. Activities are nice but could use more. Pricing had been actually on the cheaper side although I realize that they will go up year to year. I hope that A Place For Mom puts Mira Vie on their list of places to consider. I don't believe that this was shared as an option to me for my mom when we were shopping. I found this place accidentally but so glad I did.

The place is perfect for my aunt and her needs, our issue is that she’ll run out of money in two years and if she’s still alive we’d have to move her to a Medicaid facility. We haven’t made any final decisions yet but are thinking our best bet would be to go where they will take the Medicaid waiver. The facility is beautiful And homey though and the residents all looked happy.

I thought the facility was really clean and nice. The staff was really nice and seemed very engaged with the clients

I met with [name removed] who was very welcoming and knowledgeable and answered all questions I had. [name removed] was gracious as I missed out appointed time and had time for me to visit later in the day. The facility was very nice and still considering it as an option down the road.

The room was very nice and large. I really liked the whole place. Very clean and every one was very nice.
