Ciel Senior Living

The first thing that strikes you when you walk into the building is the cozy atmosphere and feel of the place. It is very nice and clean. The staff is professional and friendly and there are a broad range of activities for the residents here to choose from.

Everyone is so friendly and truly caring. My mom wasn't really thrilled about going there but now...she LOVES it there!

MY siblings and I have been looking for several weeks at different places. Last week we visited Bella Visited Bella Vista and absolutely fell in LOVE! They were nice and friendly and we felt at home . The staff and residents were all very friendly. Their apartments are out of this world! My mother is excited that she is moving into an apartment that has been totally renovated. We first thought that Bella Vista was a little bit too far away from us but believe me I am so glad that we went. It's worth the extra couple of miles to drive and my MOTHER is worth it! The food is incredible. Thank you Bella Vista!

We have lived here for about 6 weeks. Everything you have read in the POSITIVE reviews are true. This place is amazing and we could not be happier. Of course, the food is amazing and the wait staff are friendly and caring and very hard working. The dining room is a great place to meet people. We have met many nice people and some of them have become close friends. If the waiting time is sometimes long, it provides more time to talk to the people at your table and get to know them better. We have a one bedroom, and although quite small, it is adequate and I am still able to cook when I feel like it. For me, personally, the best part, in the apartment, is the balcony. I have always wanted a "porch" and this fits the bill. Wonderful place to relax, view the rose garden, and read or sew. And there is a huge, beautiful willow tree right there. I have never been more content in any other living experience than I am here.

We have been at Bella Vista for 7 weeks and are very pleased. I believe that the best thing that we enjoy is the good food and the flexibility of the dining room. We are also pleased with the transportation that meets all our shopping, medical needs. The management listen and is sensitive to our desires. We are glad we are here!

Mother has felt at home since the first day. The staff is very friendly and responsive to any requests. She feels safe in her apartment and loves the residents. They are currently remodeling and that's why I didn't rate "great" on cleanliness. I know it will improve in the next months.

The resident was my 87 year old mother. The environment was quite comfortable and she was drawn to it by the limited cooking capabilities, activities, friendliness, and overall property appeal. She was pleased with the activities and staff. Complaints were limited to the need to make the swimming pool more accessable and sporadic comments regarding food service wait times and selections. Very good experience and would recommend this facility.

Everything is working out fine for mom and dad. Everyone here is very nice and their care has been wonderful. I am very happy that A Place for Mom was able to help us.

Food is being revamped (thank goodness) Activities staff are great Dining servers are in training and have challenges sometimes

The staff is always willing to help, willing to find solutions, and makes you feel welcome. The rooms are very nice and clean. Lots of different activities.

Spotlessly clean. Very friendly staff. The administration makes itself readily available for questions and concerns.

Friendly staff, good quality food, caring staff. Ability to communicate with staff would benefit from improvement ie being able to communicate with direct care staff. Staff turnover frustrating at times. Charging [removed] dollars for food delivery x 3 a day is very expensive - and tray removal very slow. Mom is happy and feels safe here which is the family's largest goal

Nice and clean, nice food menu, and good activities. I think the administrative staff could improve by reaching out to family (phone calls) on any changes of family member changes of health or needs.

Ciel was wonderful overall. There were some concerns around staffing or lack of in the memory care unit; however, an overall great experience I believe.

Shuttle service, salon , dr visits all the other extra logistics for life stuff is what stuck out over other places.

The place is bright, cheerful and welcoming. Rooms are spacious and bright. Large dining area separate from the activities area. Activities include walk around the facility (indoors on cold/rainy days), craft making, coloring, musical activities, dancing, trivia.

Facility is welcoming and clean. Staff is always friendly, helpful and courteous! Room sizes in memory care are better than most we looked at.

Weekends lack good activities, I was always hesitant to speak up but when I finally did the admin were appreciative of my input and immediately looked into it to make positive changes. Any environmental concerns, if any, were immediately corrected....I wish more staff had interacted personally with mom. Several did and I appreciated them greatly! I filled out a many page information packet about mom, had a labeled photo album of family and a personal book all about mom....seems like that packet from the facility went into her file and wasn't made use of for staff to interact. I would recommend CIEL but would advise to stay actively involved with your loved one

Communication with the facility and staff can sometimes be difficult. They could improve on the food by expanding the menu options. Overall, I would recommend Ciel of Princeton to others looking.

If you are considering memory care for your loved one, make sure your loved one's ingestible items are locked out of reach, the floors are not slippery. Put their name on everything, monitor their oral care and ensure that food and drink is readily available.
