Positive

Overall, the experience was good. Our guide was friendly and professional, answered our questions, showed us the facility, and gave us a run-down on basic costs, and additional ones. The other staff we met were friendly also. The Chelsea was clean and well taken care of. The Independent Building is separate, and except for an area for the continental breakfast and happy hour, one has to go to the other building (for dining, movies, medical, etc.). Small library and work-out room. Good medical coverage on site. Our

Helpful staff

My aunt is currently living there, and our experience with the management team at Chelsea has been excellent. They’ve been incredibly helpful in getting new residents settled in and truly make everyone feel welcome. We really appreciate their support and care throughout the process.

Review for The Chelsea at Fair Lawn

Well I liked the facility beautiful and ancillary staff very very nice and helpful [name removed] the nurse very attentive loved him and Grace hospice amazing but I had some issues with [name removed] and [name removed]. My situation was unique my Aunt was hospitalized after a few weeks after she moved in and then we were in the middle of the holidays but that's no excuse. I don't feel they were very helpful or supportive when my Aunt needed it most .[name removed] the nursing supervisor was very, how to say nicely

Family's experience

We did not have a good experience with The Chelsea. They were dishonest about things from the beginning. Plus they were not nice at the end when we couldn't afford to keep our mother there. The whole experience was not good. That's my feedback.

Our experience

When my mother was there, they had to wait up to an hour after the scheduled meal time for their food to be served. It seemed that they were consistently understaffed. I don't know if the service improved since she moved out in [date removed]
