    Lovely community with governance drawbacks

    I've lived here since 2011 and love the place - kind, hardworking staff, very clean, beautifully decorated units and grounds, lovely woods/parks, spacious apartments and many activities (pool, tennis, paddle ball, lunches, outings). Residents are friendly and it's great value for the square footage. My biggest downsides: poor management, an anti-dog board/building reps, sometimes ridiculous condo rules that change after open-meeting votes, and limited visitor parking. Overall I'd recommend it for the 55+ crowd despite the governance issues.

    About Bald Eagle Commons

    Bald Eagle Commons sits at 21 Richmond Rd in West Milford, NJ, and offers several living choices-people can buy townhouses or condo units, and there are 11 affordable one-bedroom condominiums for adults where at least one household member needs to be 55 or older, and the community holds an eligibility screening looking at household income and size, focusing on affordable housing while following federal and state anti-discrimination laws. Floor plans go to applicants based on what's available, and the process asks about property name and personal details, only allowing those within income and household size rules to move forward, and both income and identity proofs are required, with prices and conditions changing as things become available. The property, managed by Bald Eagle Manor Inc., has a wide range of care for those seeking independent living as well as assisted living, along with respite care for those needing short, temporary stays-professional staff helps with walking, wheelchair assistance, bathing, dressing, medication, and daily activities, and there's a 24-hour call and supervision system for peace of mind.

    Live-in units at Bald Eagle Commons include walk-in closets, private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, telephones, and kitchens or kitchenettes, and come with safety and handicap features, sprinklers, furnishings, washers and dryers, and WiFi is free throughout the community and even poolside. Residents can use tennis courts, a heated pool, shuffleboard, bocce courts, horseshoe pits, and there's a greenhouse, movie theater, craft room, billiard room, game room, arts room, media center, and a library, plus spaces for walking and outdoor recreation, and clubs like Travel, Golf, Hiking/Walking, and Book Clubs keep things active. Meals are prepared by a professional chef, with all-day and restaurant-style dining, and there are diet options for allergies and diabetes-housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and move-in coordination are available, and transportation and parking make getting around easier.

    The Commons encourages social life for elders, with scheduled daily activities, resident-led clubs, outings, arts and crafts, classes, fitness programs in exercise rooms, a wellness room, sauna/spa, and there's even a social director and recreation office to help residents join in. There's a hair salon, guest parking, concierge help, cable TV, WiFi, and each unit has its own kitchen or kitchenette. Health care services cover personal care, movement help, meals, housekeeping, and medication support-and they'll work with long-term care insurance. Resident comfort is a main goal, and there's an on-site staff to give clear answers when it comes to applying, with a process that's open to questions and has a specific way to apply, both online or in person. The community sponsors programs and activities trying to keep everyone connected, and there's always clear information about building or site changes. Bald Eagle Commons links up with the Bald Eagle Commons Building Association and keeps details about the property and online resources up to date as their website gets built. Everyone is focused on helping people find what suits them for both living and care, as long as they meet the set income and age guidelines.
