Parker Jewish Institute For Health Care & Rehabilitation

A.L.

My wife is staying at Parker Jewish Institute For Health Care & Rehabilitation and they're good to her. The staff is also very good and she has a shared room there. Aside from a shared room, they also have private room options. They provide OT, PT, and speech therapies. They had quite a few activities for the residents, they had a gym where they did PT and OT. They also had a cafeteria, gift shop, a family room, and a list of recreational activities. So every day they have different types of recreational activities. The place itself is nice. Medicare would be paying for 80% of the cost.

Parker Jewish Center is understaffed and most of the time clients are left to care for themselves. Horrible and horrendous place. Room smells like urine. Food tray with left over food in common are and not being disposed Paper and garbage on the floor. You don’t want to leave not even an abandoned dog there. I will be contacting the STATE.

My mother received home care from Parker Home Care. She had a wonderful experience. Everyone was polite, on time, took the time to undersea her issues and took care of her. She worked with a visiting nurse, physical therapist and an aide. She was very nervous about having an aide in the house, but the aide was responsible, mature, hard working and polite. She took her job seriously. If either of my parents need Home Care again in the future we will certainly contact Parker.

My mother is currently getting physical and occupational therapy at Parker Jewish Institute. With the love, care and encouragement of the health care team, she is getting stronger each day. The facility is clean and comfortable, the lobby is beautiful, the outdoor park is unique and delicate. My mother is very happy while getting treatment at Parker. She feels attached to the staff there. We are very grateful for the professional treatment and care provided at Parker

A heart broken daughter

My father was a patient at Parker Jewish Institute for short term rehabilitation. He went there for physical and occupational therapy. I was very unhappy with this place. They are very under staffed and did not provide proper care to the patients. The floor my father was on most of the nurses and aides seemed to be very laxed and inconsiderate with the exception of a few. He developed a stage 3 bed sore. In particular an Indian doctor and a female Asian nurse were rude and acted in a disturbed manor when asked for help. While under his care my father ended up with one collapsed lung and after I pleaded to exam him. Eventually my dad was rushed to the hospital to intensive care where he passed away. I wish I would have gotten my father out of there sooner. Do not put your loved one here especially if he or she needs extra medical attention. They won't come home.

Parker Jewish Institute is very short-staffed, and it's a situation where they all mean well, but they're not talking to each other. My father has Alzheimer's. and he's there for rehab. They have an Alzheimer's floor. When my dad left home, he was able to brush his teeth, dress himself, and feed himself, and now he can't do anything. They're not doing any type of rehab for him but feeding him, so I'm not really happy. They changed his medication without me knowing, and as far as his dressing, he has infection in his toe, and it might have to be amputated. They went and changed that, but I didn't know anything about that, so it's a problem. I am not really happy with them right now. It proved to me that looks could be deceiving. They tell you what you want to hear, but they don’t do anything. The other day I needed help with my father, and I was ringing the bell for half an hour before someone even came out to help me. I talked to the manager, and they are going to do training for the nurses and the certified nursing assistants so they'll know how to deal with Alzheimer's and dementia patients. They need to have people who understand them. He had a fall, but I didn’t get a phone call. He's an elderly person, and he should have been X-rayed, but he was not. He took out his PICC out of his arm, and he was not X-rayed for that, so it was just a lot of negligence going on. Bottom line is they need to be trained better, and they need more staffing. They're very nice people, but as far as what the patients need, they're not getting it.

My mother is at Parker Jewish Institute, and everything is very good. It's very clean, and they attend to everything but they're just understaffed. They seem to be the most honest, and they were the ones who said they can't make promises. Everybody from the parking attendant up is so friendly and helpful, and anytime I make a phone call, I can get in touch with somebody. There was no lapse in any kind of care even when they'll be in a transition and kept me in the loop. They kept you informed every step of the way so you never feel like you are left out. There are a lot of activities each day like music, games, and coloring, and somebody comes up and does the women's nails. There's something every day going on. It was very hard for my mother to go to these things in the beginning, but they didn't push her until she got used to their ways of getting her to do it. They knew how to handle them.

I am the relative of a person who needed short-term physical therapy. The social worker at Parker was rude on the phone and focused on irrelevant mis-information to determine that they could not care for the patient. After speaking with the social worker, I agree that they can't care for the patient. There is no way I would leave her with them. If this is any indication of the care the patients get there, I would stay as far away as possible from Parker.

My mother was at Parker. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the staff of the 7th floor South for their kindness, compassion, and excellent care over the past few months. I would recommend Parker to anyone who needs the assistance and care that the staff provide. The staff at Parker are truly exceptional!

My mom was a resident at Parker for several years. She was confronted with many health issues and the staff took great care of my mom from the aides, nurse managers, doctors to social workers. The hospice staff was especially kind and understanding keeping us informed as necessary. There is nothing better for a family to know that they can go home knowing their loved ones are cared for.

My father was a recent patient at Parker Jewish Institute and the care he received was excellent. The team of doctors, therapists, social workers, nurses and aides were exceptional and made his recovery possible. I highly recommend Parker Jewish Institute. Sincerely, Rosie S.

I would like to thank the entire Parker staff for doing an amazing job with my Mother. From the nursing staff, aides, building service workers and the maintenance staff for always fulfilling my mother's requests and making her stay a comfortable one. I am forever grateful.

My Mother was in Parker and because the place is under staffed she was not cared for properly. The Doctor did not have her file, did not examine her, he would smile and say you look fine dear. She was not fine. She died from C-dif. You can't give 0 stars.

This is NOT a good place for fragile elderly people. Mom had several medical issues ( iliostomy and feeding tube) . She was considered too much work even though this place says it is rated highly. The nursing staff is overworked and truly do not show any compassion for these people. I saw food shoved down patients throats. I saw my mother's iliostomy bag allowed to explode and cover her with feces. I saw people slip out of their wheelchairs. If your elderly person can speak up they will be sitting at a table all day screaming and yelling and calling for help. God help the poor people in this place. My mom had to be rushed back to the hospital several times based on their lack of care. Please love your elderly and do not send them to this dangerous place.

I am trying to figure out a way to get my relative out of here, but he is too sick to go home. It is the worst health care facility I have ever seen and I have been to plenty as a patient and caregiver. The staff is completely unresponsive to both patients and family members. I am not even confident my father has been given the meds he needs to survive, and I have been waiting over an hour to speak to a nurse. He was left to wallow in his own crap for almost 30 minutes last night, and today was left on e toilet for 20 minutes without assistance. Patients who don't have visitors are left sitting at a table all day long with no care, no cleaning, no interaction. This no way to treat elderly and Ill patients. I have had two conversations with the hospital administrator already, to no avail. Patients are screaming and begging for help and no one responds. This place should be investigated by the Department of Health for neglect and abuse.

There are overworked nurses and nurse's aides who bend over backwards and are the picture of patience but the vast majority could care less....especially the overnight staff! The overnight staff leave residents in soiled diapers for the morning staff to deal with, they don't check on the patients who cannot ring call buttons and if they can they are largely ignored for literally hours! You can be there from morning to night and complain, offer to do the bulk of the caring and they will resent you. If you complain your will fall on deaf ears! My mother was left in her own filth on several occasions even while I was there; they hid the diapers when they saw I kept changing my mother when they took more than 20 minutes to attend to her. Patients don't need infections or to lose any more dignity than they already are. My mother lasted just under 2 weeks!

Unhappy relative of dead patient

They mistreated my mother when she was a patient. When I complained 2 things happened. 1) they promised an investigation and never followed up. 2) My mother caught a C-Dificile virus and was dead in a week. If I had money for a lawyer I would sue them.

I'd give this place no stars if I could. It's absolutely horrible. The care is non-existent. They let you lay there to rot and only come when absolutely necessary like to bring you the food. It's always 100 degrees so make sure you go in shorts and a tee shirt. You can't talk to anyone and get an answer. Everyone knows nothing. Doctors don't care as long as they keep getting paid. Two hours of rehab crammed into one hour since they have the PT's and OT's work on you at the same time. Then you lay in bed 23 hours a day. What kind of Rehab place is this? You leave worse off from when you enter it. STAY AWAY. I can go on and on.

Elderly patient

Not a good place for elderly. The staff is abusive, the food is horrible and no one in management cares to correct the deficiensies unless the department of Health gets involved. (see health code violations) The have a virus C-dificile running around and they don't tell you at admittance. If you catch the virus they tell youi that you shouldn't have come to Parker since they post a note on the front door that they have an uncontrolled virus in the facility. Of course patients come into the facility frpom LIJ hospital and not through the front doee so they really have no plan to inform incoming patients about the deadly virus.
