CriticalThe Bristal at Waldwick community
Please don’t send anyone to the Bristal memory care in Waldwick. It’s horrible. Do not send your loved one here. The assisted living side is a 4/5, the memory care is a 1 at best. Horrible.

PositiveLife at the Atria
We chose Atria because it was brand new. It was also the closest to our home so it was convenient. We felt that for him he wouldn't be the new comer since this was a new facility, he would be starting when everyone else is. My brother is in a studio and the size is good and the rooms are beautiful. The food here is good with a lot of variety. They serve it restaurant style.
