    High-quality family-run compassionate peaceful care

    I placed my mother here and I'm very pleased - the staff are loving, long-tenured and professional, and the nursing care is personal and compassionate. The facility is immaculate and attractive with cozy common rooms (piano, library, media room), two courtyards and gazebos, a chapel, salon and PT, restaurant-style dining, and lots of activities that helped her adjust quickly and stay engaged. Overall it felt like a high-quality, family-run, hotel-like home with peaceful end-of-life care; the only caveats I heard were higher cost and very rare reports of unprofessional or discriminatory incidents.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the collected reviews is strongly positive, with repeated emphasis on the quality of care, the professionalism and compassion of staff, and an attractive, very clean facility. Many reviewers highlight long-tenured caregivers and continuity of staffing as major strengths, noting that familiarity and loyalty among staff contribute to strong, personal relationships with residents. Multiple accounts describe improved mood and social engagement among residents, laughter and joy, and peaceful, comforting end-of-life care—suggesting the community succeeds at both daily living support and more sensitive clinical needs.

    Staff and caregiving are the most frequently praised elements. Descriptions such as "loving and attentive," "dedicated and compassionate," and "personal nursing care" appear repeatedly. Families report that staff are willing to adapt to individual needs, are open to suggestions, and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Several reviews call out the facility as family-run or mission-driven, reinforcing impressions of individualized attention and a culture of commitment. That said, a small but serious set of reviews allege racist attitudes and discriminatory comments by some staff members and unprofessional behavior; these reports contrast sharply with the majority praise and represent an important concern for prospective residents and families to investigate further.

    Facility and amenities receive consistent positive comments. The building is described as attractive, homey, newer, and meticulously maintained; multiple reviewers call the facility exceptionally clean and well-appointed, likening parts of the experience to a fancy hotel. Outdoor grounds—including two courtyards, gazebos, and a chapel—are frequently mentioned, as are cozy interior communal spaces (a main room with small sitting areas, piano, library, and media room). Living units range from studio apartments with small kitchenettes and walk-in showers to clean two-bedroom suites with courtyard views; these are repeatedly described as comfortable and well-equipped.

    Activities and social life are highlighted as strengths. Reviewers list a robust and varied calendar—live performers, arts and crafts, BINGO, holiday events, and family-oriented programming—which many say improves resident engagement and mood. Communal meals and a restaurant-style dining atmosphere are often praised as enjoyable social experiences. However, dining quality has mixed feedback: while many reviewers laud high-quality meals and fun communal dining, at least one review calls the food "horrible." Cost is also called out in some reviews as expensive, which, combined with the mixed food feedback, suggests variability in perceived value.

    Tone and culture receive both positive and critical notes. The prevailing characterization is of a warm, peaceful, and lower-key community with muted décor and a smaller scale that many families appreciate for intimacy and individualized service. That quieter, sedate atmosphere is listed as a pro by those seeking a calm environment but may not appeal to people looking for a more energetic or larger facility. A few reviewers mention the facility being "too religious," indicating that faith-based programming or religious tone may be more prominent than some prospective residents prefer.

    In summary, The Cliffs At Eagle Rock is consistently praised for compassionate, attentive staff; exceptionally clean, attractive facilities; a strong sense of community; and a wide range of activities and services. The primary negative themes to note are serious allegations of discriminatory behavior from some individuals, mixed reports on food quality, perceived expense, and a religious or quieter atmosphere that may not suit everyone. Prospective residents and families should weigh the highly positive accounts of care, cleanliness, and community against the isolated but significant reports of discrimination and the variability in dining and cost when considering this community. Visiting the facility, speaking directly with current residents and staff, and asking specific questions about diversity training, dining options, programming tone, and pricing will help clarify whether this community is a good fit.

    About The Cliffs At Eagle Rock

    The Cliffs At Eagle Rock sits at 707 Eagle Rock Avenue in West Orange, New Jersey, and is a nonprofit, faith-based organization under The Baptist Home Society, providing assisted living, memory care, nursing care, and independent living for seniors who want a supportive and social place to live, and folks say it's well known for having a joyful atmosphere with cheerful, caring staff who work hard to treat everyone kindly and with respect. Residents here join in plenty of activities that help keep their minds and bodies busy-there are things like arts and crafts, game nights, resident-run events, and community gatherings, so there's always something to do whether someone likes to read in the library, relax in the spa and wellness room, walk on the paths outside, or hang out in comfy common spaces such as the Great Room, Country Kitchen, or one of the four dining rooms, and there's also a media room, fitness room, pool and game tables, and an internet lounge up on the second floor. People with memory problems get special help in a secure area called the Haven, where the design, nurse supervision, and activity calendar keep things safe and calming so folks with Alzheimer's or dementia feel less confused and don't wander, and there are full-time health and wellness professionals who focus on long-term care, helping with bathing, dressing, moving around, taking meds, and keeping up with hygiene, while nurses are available for much of the day and everyone can call for help any time. The dining services make sure everyone gets nutritious meals made with good ingredients, and the staff helps with everyday things like laundry, cleaning rooms, and changing linens, so residents always have what they need to be comfortable, and the suites have air conditioning, phone, cable TV, kitchen areas, smoke alarms, and sprinkler systems-some even have microwaves and sinks. The Cliffs At Eagle Rock received awards like Best of Senior Living and the Advanced Standing Award from the state for its focus on careful, compassionate care, and if someone needs their hair done, there's a Barber and Beauty Salon on site, plus there are continuing care retirement options for those wanting to age in one place. This place really does try to support seniors in every part of daily life, both care and fun, making sure that people who need a little help-or a lot-can have their needs met while staying as active, social, and safe as possible.
