    Unsanitary unsafe care poor management

    I lived here and was very disappointed. There are no activities, no transportation or outings, and the fridge is locked after 6-6:30pm so no snacks. Meals are frozen/processed, carb-heavy, full of sweet iced tea, with no vegetarian or diabetic options, and food is handled unsafely (served without gloves). Medication management felt unsafe-meds left on plates, nighttime mix-ups risk-and staff intruded into rooms at 3am to take out garbage. Shared rooms, one bathroom for many residents, a filthy first-floor bathroom, and minimal staff made care and housekeeping poor. The owner seemed greedy/dishonest and $1,700/month is terrible value; a few staff were friendly, but overall cleanliness and care were unacceptable.

    About Doves Haven

    Doves Haven sits in Matawan, New Jersey, close to parks, doctors, transportation, and places of worship, so residents don't have to go far for what they need, and the park across the street gives a pleasant spot to walk or just watch the day. This community offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and the small size means just five or six people share a room, making things less overwhelming for those who like quiet. Residents get help with daily tasks like medication management, bathing, laundry, meals, and moving around, and trained staff stay ready around the clock to handle medical needs or check blood sugar for seniors with diabetes.

    Social life stays active at Doves Haven-people can join group activities in the cozy common rooms, or take part in devotional services and planned outings, with both on-site and off-site options to meet spiritual needs. The chefs cook nutritious, home-style meals every day using quality ingredients, and there's always a chance to chat in the dining room or living areas. Security matters here, too, so there are safety features like call services, walk-in tubs, and support for those who might get lost or need extra help staying safe. Families get some peace of mind because of the secure environment for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia and checks on medication, plus support for caregivers when they need a break through respite care.

    Doves Haven meets a range of needs since it offers skilled nursing, independent living, residential senior apartments, and even counseling for those trying to figure out what care's needed. They help with Medicare, pricing questions, and updates to living plans, and advisors give families lists of options that fit each person. With a warm, well-kept setting, small capacity, and a focus on personal care, Doves Haven welcomes adults aged 55 and older and tries to give both independence and a strong support system so people don't feel left out or lonely while living there. The average reported price is about $1,600. Dove's Haven takes care to keep things simple, safe, and comfortable, giving seniors and their families help with whatever comes up.
