Pines Village

My parents have been living in the assisted living for nearly a year. Their quality of life has improved tremendously and they are very happy.
The facility is clean and the decor is appealing. The staff truly does care!!! (Of course they would benefit from having a little more staff, but this is unfortunately true for all health care related facilities).
It has a wonderful, warm, cozy, friendly atmosphere. There are plenty of activities and events to keep the residents entertained and stimulated. And the food is very good.
I would highly recommend The Pines Village in Whiting NJ to anyone considering assisted living for themselves or their family members.

I want to visit my friend who is living in the Pines Assisted Living on the First Floor. She asked me to get her some toilet paper. Their policy is the family should buy the loved one toiletries. I understand that a person probably likes a particular tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, facial cleanser, dry skin creams, wrinkle creams, cortisone creams. But TOILET PAPER? I think for the price they charge, they should provide the client with Toilet Tissue. I think that is just plain cheap. My friend enjoys it there. She likes the care she receives, the cleanliness, the food, & the activities. I just think they should pay for the toilet tissue. I've been in hotels, rehabs, & hospitals and they never charged you for toilet tissue. It was included in the price. I think it should be included in the price here.

I've been in hotels, rental houses, rehabs & hospitals and they never charged you for toilet tissue. It was included in the price. I asked AI if a permanent assisted living facility should provide their customers with Toilet Paper & it what they said: " It's generally considered questionable for an assisted living facility to charge high monthly fees and then require residents to pay for basic necessities like toilet paper. While assisted living costs can be substantial, including items like toilet paper is often seen as a basic aspect of the provided services. This is why it's considered questionable:
High monthly fees:
Assisted living facilities already charge substantial fees for room and board, meals, and other services.
Basic necessity:
Toilet paper is a fundamental hygiene item, and it's expected that a facility providing care would include it in their services.
Focus on holistic care:
Assisted living focuses on providing a comfortable and supportive environment for residents, and requiring them to pay for toilet paper can be seen as a small detail that adds to the overall cost and can be perceived as a lack of care. "

Hamilton Place at Pines Village is an excellent sub acute rehab facility. My dad was there after a recent hospitalization. Extremely clean, private room, AMAZING staff— from dining services to housekeeping, aides and nurses, to administration - they go above and beyond. Thank you! You made a difficult transition so much easier for my family!

We were so happy to find this sub acute rehab after searching for a place to put our mother after her hospital stay. This place exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, she had a private room, private bath (spotlessly clean) the staff was very caring and attentive and tended to all of our mothers needs. The staff constantly checked on mom day and night and made sure she was well cared for. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs sub acute care.

My husband just spent approximately 12 days at the Pines Rehab. We found the nurses, administrators and all aids to be very helpful and pleasant. They go out of their way for the patients. Anything my husband needed they were more than willing to accomodate him. He said the food was delicious and enjoyed the meals. The physical therapists assisted him with the therapy he needed. He improved under their care and is now at home. It is a very warm and inviting place. We are very thankful to all the staff at the Pines Village Rehab.
