Another family member expressed that their mother was treated like family during her 8-month stay at The Chelsea.

During an in-person tour, one family noticed that there was only one male resident present, which concerned them as they wanted their loved one to have the opportunity to bond and socialize with other male residents. However, they did mention that the staff were kind and attentive, keeping the residents busy with various activities.

While the outside of the building appears rundown and in need of cleaning or painting, the inside is kept clean and well-maintained. The reviewer's main concern was staffing shortages, but they are hopeful for improvements in this area. They also appreciated The Chelsea's homey atmosphere and smaller size.

The rooms at The Chelsea are described as upscale and nice-sized. However, there were mixed reviews about the food quality, with some days being better than others. The director and staff members were praised for being very nice.

Another reviewer mentioned that although their initial impression was positive during a tour, they felt that the room sizes were smaller than what they were looking for. However, they highlighted the numerous amenities available to residents and suggested scheduling a tour to experience this community firsthand.

The cleanliness of the community was emphasized by multiple reviewers who found it cozy and well-maintained. Some reviewers mentioned a lack of clarity regarding different levels of care options available at The Chelsea.

Although another reviewer found the shared rooms less impressive than single rooms, they acknowledged that both staff and personnel were accommodating. They appreciated spacious common areas and an outdoor patio.

One family expressed concerns about their mother's experience at The Chelsea, stating that she felt scared and lacked a way to make overseas calls. They also mentioned difficulties with scheduling phone conversations due to the facility's strict bedtime policy.

On a positive note, one family member raved about their mother's experience at The Chelsea. They described the facility as great and loved everything about it. The staff was praised for being phenomenal, and overall, the family had no complaints.

Another family member highlighted the warm and cheerful environment at The Chelsea. With a small community of around 62 or 63 residents, the staff is attentive and knows each resident by name. They provide various activities and trips to keep residents engaged and have an exercise class multiple times a week.

In conclusion, The Chelsea at Manalapan offers updated facilities, safety precautions, cleanliness, and attentive staff.
