First class assisted living home

Baker Place is one of the nicest assisted living facilities in the area. My grandmother has been to Genesis, Bishop McCarthy and now Baker Place. Compare to the other two, Baker Place is a resort. The design is very open and light and airy. As you enter, you have to ring the bell and one of the friendly staff members will buzz you in. The desk is located on the left and then the open dining hall and common room are in the main lobby. There is plenty of seating and it has a very open atrium-like feel with bright colors (hues of yellow) and other soft tones. There are bulletin boards with events and pictures honoring veterans. The hallways are wide and there is a beautiful courtyard in the middle. The tenants each have their own rooms equipped with a mini-kitchen, bathroom and ac units. The staff is there 24/7 and the tenants can ring for help with either their device on their wrist or the string on the wall. The meals take place in the common area and the food ranges from sandwiches to hot chicken and vegetables.
We went most recently for the Mother's Day Afternoon Tea and the team did such a fantastic job. The theme was Afternoon in Paris and the staff was decorated in berets, serving tea and set up all the fancy decorations with donated porcelain tea cups. It was such an inclusive event and we were told there is a Thanksgiving dinner and Italian dinner that are also very well-received and attended. Joe is the director and he has a personable style and knows everyone. There is always a nurse on site and this is really one of the nicest assisted living homes in Vineland. There is a list to get in and I can see why. Genesis and Bishop McCarthy were both horrible and I would send your loved ones here any day.
