Positive

We were very impressed so much so that we are going to live there. They were the only assisted living facility that we looked into that had a nurse on duty 24/7. That was very important to us. It also had nice little apartments that suited our needs. Overall, a very clean and pleasant atmosphere. The dining hall was open 7 to 7. No assigned seating or time. Thank you for sending us there.

Ashley took her time to understand our needs and explain what Ciel had to offer that would meet our needs. Place was clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Many features of the facility were pointed out during the tour. All in all, excellent treatment of a prospective resident family member

Review for Ciel of Princeton

The dining was very good and changed with resident input. Good chef. The management was efficient and friendly. The had a nice daily cocktail hour. I suspect activities were average. Most of the residents loved their homes and the staff. Both managers and residents were all on a first name basis. We had a very good experience. My Mom's room was a nice manigible size and the place was clean always.

Review for Ciel of Princeton

It is a lovely place but there are many additional charges some of which are excessive and/or unreasonable and the atmosphere is not really welcoming in the memory care unit. They could fix it if they tried with better staff and more empathy. I think that the assisted living part is probably fine, the memory care group is more needy and deserves a kinder approach.
