Embassy Manor at Edison Nursing and Rehabilitation

As a longtime resident of this facility I cannot say how badly the quality of care has gone downhill since the recent change of ownership. My longtime doctors of JFK Family Practice are no longer on staff and the options to replace them are subpar. I have a diagnosed food allergy and have been specifically told not to complete my menus with that in mind. They have gone from having multiple sizes of diapers to only one which does not stay on when I toss and turn at night. The television service no longer carries CBS, NBC, AMC or Fox. Instead they have about a dozen Chinese stations. I also have a food allergy which they will no longer accommodate. Add to this my attempts to transfer have been blocked. Unfortunately, for me, my two next of kin contacts: one lives in Virginia and the other is a long haul truck driver and at least for now are unable to help me transfer. Recreation has also taken a serious downturn. I have been doing everything I can to transfer to a place closer to where the remaining members of my family live in NJ, but even those efforts are being blocked. Additionally, I am not yet 62 and a half yet so I cannot request assistance from the Ombudsman.

As a resident of this facility through multiple ownerships, I can honestly say this is the absolute worst. The staff have little to no care for the residents, especially if you are self or minimal care. They rarely make the beds correctly. They cannot handle medically ordered special diets. The nurses are stretched so thin they barely have time to actually talk to us. The aides, if you can even find them, do not want to help unless you are total care. The physical design of this building (it was built in the 60’s) is so far out of code that the resident’s in wheelchairs cannot always get their wheelchairs into the bathrooms, or around their beds. If they are short linen, they have no problem short sheeting the beds.

Right now, my mom is in a nursing home called Embassy Manor at Edison Nursing and Rehabilitation. My brother and I read the reviews, we checked several places, and that one was on the top. The place is clean, but it seems that they don't have a lot of employees. They have a gym for rehab. They have a dining area but it's not that big. In terms of location, there are a few restaurants there.

I thought this was a pretty good place. The staff are by and large doing their best. BUT -- when a person is isolated for having COVID, and is left to sleep all day and not eat and has a comorbidity and a nurse when told this by another patient says, "Oh, I didn't know that,"(and as a result the patient develops pneumonia), then something is drastically wrong. When, by the time the patient is admitted to the hospital there is no hope of recovery, something is drastically wrong.

My mother was there for a week and in that time she was neglected, given wrong meds, not given necessary meds, and placed out in a hallway in a wheelchair for hours alone. She was verbally threatened by a roommates son who screamed and cursed (it was frightening) and acted violent and the staff acted as if this was normal. They finally moved her when I said she will not stay one more night in a room with this man (who was there all the time). My beautiful mother contracted sepsis at this dirty and disgusting facility and by the time she got to the hospital, it was too late. DO NOT place your loved one in this place. It’s awful in every way.

I had a terrible experience with my handicapped sister who went into this facility last Wednesday, 5/25/16 for rehab. I went to Edison Estates on 5/26/16 to see my sister at 9:30 am. When I arrived I was horrified to see her. Her skin color was grey,, she was covered in sweat, had the chills and practically delirious. The therapists were trying to do physical therapy with her when fortunately a nurse came into the room and said she wanted to take her temperature. Her fever was 105 degrees! Here oxygen level was 78 which is dangerously low. We had to have sent back to the hospital via ambulance as quickly as possible. Just don't understand how she could have had a 105 degree temperate and nobody at the facility realized just how sick she was. The physical therapy was to begin and she could barely move! When you trust your loved ones to a facility it is very upsetting and heartbreaking to find them in in the condition I found my sister who could have died in the care of a place I had trusted. This was one of the most horrible experiences that I have had and do not want anyone else to ever have to experience something like this.
