My mother stayed at Heath Village. The people were nice and took care of her, but it was cost prohibitive for her to stay there longer. She went to physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. She watched TV and they had entertainment come in. They had three restaurants inside their complex. She was in a room with another patient when she was there. They had bus rides to go shopping and to different events.

My mother was there. I will say Heath Village is very nice. She was in independent living which was great. She eventually ended up in Mayflower. The Mayflower staff was wonderful and caring. Then she was in the Meadows - that is where the one star comes in. She was bed-ridden. They rarely tried to get her up in a chair. Nurse aides (and a few of the nurses-especially one that was there for quite a while) were really unbelievably awful. 90% of the times I visited her water and phone would be completely out of her reach. I actually caught them being very rough with her a couple of times but she complained about it often. Oh - and all the walls were gray - so cheerful! Plus it was $18K per month. A lot of money for a lot of nothing.

I've visited Heath Village, it's beautiful, the people were very friendly, it's like family-focused. They have a studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 2-bedroom with an additional room, and the rooms have balconies. It's a nice facility and most of the apartments were stand-alone, so they're accessible from the street and they're not inside. They also have cottages for independent living, and the assisted living is in one building. The food was excellent, they have multiple activities, and they have a lot of the same amenities as the other places I toured. They do events for family or extended family as well, it's beautiful. They have payment options, and the monthly rent was quite costly, and they do not have Medicare so it's private pay only.

We visited Heath Village. It was quite lovely, with a beautiful setting, and the scenery was very nice. It is kind of hilly and mountainous. All of the facilities are one story except in the main house, which is an assisted living facility, as well on the second and third floors. The ground floor has common areas like restaurants, a gaming room, a chapel, and a library. All very nice. The apartments were also nice, and we saw the one that would have been right for my brother-in-law, a two-bedroom with a den and a one and a half bathroom. It was quite nice there. They were in the process of painting it when we went to take a look. It had a lovely kitchen, nice granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile in the kitchen, wood throughout everywhere else except in the bedroom, which was carpeted. Everything was lovely. The only problem that I saw was the walking distance. He had a stroke, which affected his left leg, so he has difficulty walking, and he has congestive heart failure, which makes it difficult to breathe. The pathways leading from where you park your car to your apartment are quite a long walk, and for his apartment specifically, it was uphill. So he would have to stop four or five times along the way in order to catch his breath. I would certainly recommend this for people who are capable of walking and have the energy and the activity level to be able to do that. For my brother-in-law, it would be completely wrong; too much walking. I said to him, you could always get a motorized scooter, but he said it is for older people. It does have carports, so for an additional charge you can get a carport for your car. It had electricity so you could plug in. I forget what they call that, but it is like an engine warmer so your battery does not die. I have good things to say about it, but the drawback was the walking. It was very scattered. You have this independent little housing units, little communities, scattered around the hundred acres, and that just makes getting around from one place to another difficult. They do have shuttle service so they say if you call a golf cart will pick you up and take you to wherever you want to go on campus. I supposed that is a possibility, but you still have to get from your apartment to the parking lot, and that is still a walk.

My family and I cannot say enough about how amazing Heath Village Health Care Center is. Our dad resided at the Health Care Center 1st floor for more than 3 years and during this time was given the most exceptional care. The nursing staff including the nurse's aids have an abundance of caring and compassion for the people who they need to nurture. We have spent enough time there to actually see how these caring individuals or should we say 'angels' interact and care for the residents. They are truly amazing and kind people! Thank you Heath Village!

I'm in Heath Village. It's beautiful, the exterior is lovely, and it's extremely well maintained. The staff is fine. A lot of people use the dining area, but I cook my own meals. They have excellent facilities. I enjoy bocce and I have a garden. My apartment has a kitchen, a living room, dining room, bedroom, and a full and half bath. I like it very much. It's on a very large piece of property and all the units are on one floor. The activities are very good. It's reasonably priced.

Heath Village is very good. My mother is in independent living and its near to my home. They have lots of activities and you can have a single, or a two-room suite. They have games, speakers, group visits, support groups, exercise things, singing, arts and crafts, and painting. There are three different restaurants on site and its delicious. The staff is fabulous.

My relative was a patient there for several years in the nursing unit. During his stay there, many of the CNA's and Nurses performed marginally at best. There were some excellent and caring employees but they were few. The administration is far more concerned with how "Pretty" the grounds look than the care and comfort of their residents. My relative had to move out to another facility to get proper consideration and respect. Highly advise against utilizing this facility as it is very expensive with cost increases every year and poor resident care.

It was very nice. They have different restaurants with upscale dining. They’ve got two more places that you can go and eat. The food in the dining hall that’s associated with the village was good. When we have eaten in the café, we only had salad, and it was good.

Heath Village is just not conducive, I don’t think, for my mother. They have more hotel room living where she would be in just a bed and that would be it. I wasn’t that thrilled for her at Health Village. If you had the money, it’s a nice place. It’s almost like a country club if you’re doing independent. My monther needs care, so independent is not where we could put her. I really hadn’t talked to them much, but the prices were about the same. I have to worry about what happens if she lives beyond her money, so I keep that in mind. We know people there who are very happy, because we belong to a senior group, and they think it’s phenomenal. They had different restaurants that you could go to, so the food is probably 5 stars. And as far as the facilities are concerned, I would rate it as 4 stars if you need nursing care. The people that live there think that the staff is actually phenomenal and when we went to visit with my mother, they could not have been nicer. We’re heading up there at the end of this month to take a look again and see what else is available. The activities are something that they don’t have much of, and most of the women and the guys that we know are independent so we really don’t know that much about their activities. It’s a nice community if you’re active. It’s reasonable, but I don’t know about the Medicaid aspect and that’s something why we’re going up there to find out.

Heath Village is a little more expensive, but there is a lot more going on there. It is also bigger. A friend who has been there over a year seems content with it.

The Heath Village was like a palace. Everything was beautiful. However, it was way out of our budget.

Really bad for long term care. Prices high, raise rates 5% every year. More concerned with appearances than service and care. Constant turnover of CNA's.

I can remember visiting a facility in Hackettstown called Heath Village. I am not fond of this facility because of their limitation with allowing scooters. It is working hard to become a better environment, but it is built on a hillside. The buildings are all on different levels which makes parking not convenient. It is in a smaller community. They have two restaurants in the same building. You have to get a car or call up to order a golf cart to pick you up and take you down. For some of the people, it is spread out too far, but it is very reasonable priced. It is a yearly and not a long term commitment so that makes it more financially feasible. But I wouldn't be too happy or content there because I couldn't go outside since I can't walk too well.

Heath Village is very pleasant and attractive. They have entertainment at night. They have poker, card games, reading, library, men’s clubs and women’s clubs. We had lunch there. It was very good. The one thing we didn’t like about it was it was a little hilly. If they can level out the terrain, it would be a big improvement.

We chose Heath Village for my dad because it's close to our home and it was also close to the church. The staff are very respectable. The dining area is very nice. They have a calendar where you can see many kinds of activities like bingo and game nights.

The hospital brought my mom to Heath Village for a rehabilitation service. The staff as well as the administration are all great. The facility seemed very nice. I can see that my mom is well taken care of.

Offers different levels of care from independent living apartments/studios/cottages to a full service health care center. Since all levels are available on one campus, it makes transiting to a higher level of care much easier on a individual. The only downside is that they don't offer an assisted living level, only residential care. Facility is always well maintained. They employ a devoted, courteous staff who often goes out of their way to address a residents' needs. They provide transportation to shopping and nearby houses of worship. Many social activities available to residents.

I went to attend for a job interview, in so doing i was given a tour of the facility and was able to survey the surrounding environment, work order, daily activities ect. As soon as i walked in I remember realizing how remarkably clean the large facility was in that the Housekeeping service were experienced and well ordered from bathroom stalls to carpet stains. All the residents as well as the working staff were considerably friendly and open minded to questions and discussion. The grounds-work on the outside of the facility seemed well maintained and well-groomed. The list of activities for the elderly to participate were ample and diversified, whether it be playing card games or lifting weights in the fitness room. Lunch and dinner plans provided seemed appetizing and provided many choices for your palette. All in all i believe this facility to be above average in terms of care and service

Strongest asset is that it offers many levels of care, from independent living to nursing home. This helps in minimizing the adjustment period when moving from one level to another. Facility very well kept. Friendly, caring staff. They offer many activities on and off campus for residents.
