The Best Nursing Home Communities in Monmouth County, NJ

"My father is a patient at Ditmas Park, he has been treated well. The staff has been very understanding. During this time with COVID-19 there have been visitation restrictions and Ditmas Park made arrangements so I could FaceTime my father daily. The staff also know that I am very involved and call all the time for updates on my dad."

"I really enjoyed having my grandmother at Hopkins center. The activities were so well planned, the nurses were very sweet and supportive! They even had a farmers market! I'm so happy I had my grandma came here. If my grandma would voluntarily eat veggies that would be very helpful. Open to suggestions on how to do that! We really appreciate all that was done for her!"

"My mother is in Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Tinton Falls. She was there once before, and it's excellent therapy; she was able to walk again. When you call them, they respond. They're there for whatever your needs are. They're very responsible. When you need something, they'll call you back instantly. I called them this morning at 8:30, by 10:00, I had an answer. They're very caring to my mother. The food is excellent. If she doesn't like what they are serving that day, they will make her anything else she needs -- salmon, there are many choices. It's an excellent place. They're a "five" in every aspect, and they are caring, concerned, and responsible."

"The caregivers at this facility have wonderful attitudes, and my grandmother has received excellent and timely medical care. "

"My sister has memory issues and was not able to take care of herself. Living far distant from her, I rely on the wonderful care HMH has offered. The staff, especially the Activities department (Sue and Frank) keep my sister engaged with pertinent activities. My sister enjoys the food and especially the morning coffee cart. I have FaceTime every week to connect and have engaging conversation with my sibling. She is up to date with the local and world news via her room TV. Her clothes are clean . She likes the art and cooking and trivia activities. The building is not attractive but the kindness of the people is note worthy."

"ALL of my father's needs were met 100 percent with professional care...the entire staff was always warm and welcoming... they answered all my questions without hesitation... I was able to go home with peace of mind, knowing that my father was being well cared for. I have experience with several rehabs taking care of my parents in the past, but this one far surpasses all the standards that one should expect from a rehab facility. I would recommend meridian shrewsbury to everyone in need of a rehab and/or long term care. "

"The Activities Department is FANTASTIC!! Lucinda, Sharon, Sandra and their staff go out of their way to accommodate my family's requests. My 100 year old mother is a resident there and the only way our family can communicate with our mother / grandmother is through ZOOM. The Activities staff always meets our needs and treats my mother with compassion and respect. Can't say enough about them. We appreciate them so much!"

"I toured The Atrium at Navesink Harbor. It's very clean and neat, and everybody is mannerly and respectful. Everything else was in place and very helpful. The staff was very knowledgeable."

"My family member was in other facilities in the past. This is by far the best. 3 others referred me to them (who have had good past experiences) and they were right. I'd ignore the negative reviews as it just doesn't fit to me and all others I know who have experienced a loved one going through rehab. "

"Imperial Care is just like home. They have a lot of activities for the patients there. They provide good care, and they obviously care about the residents a lot. The staff is good. They are very nice people. So far they are attentive to the resident's needs. As for sanitation and odor is concerned, most of the time the facility is clean. I've been there a couple of times where a resident might have an accident or something. You tend to smell that now and then. But the whole facility never smelled like that. The food is excellent. The rooms are pretty nice as well. "

"My son has been a resident of J.L.M. for almost seven years. He is very happy there. They have a variety of activities and entertainment for the residents. They also have a young adult unit which other care centers don't have. The staff, including nurses, cna's, dietary, housekeeping, maintenance, recreation, therapy, and office staff are wonderful! They all have a great relationship with all of the residents. Everyone is treated with the utmost respect. We are one big family here at J.L.M. I personally can't see my son living anyplace else. He has lots of friends here. This is his home and his extended family. "

"I recently attended an open house event at Allaire Nursing and Rehab show casing the new sub acute unit. The new unit is beautifully designed and athletically pleasing. The spa like shower area is both functional and classy. The rooms are spacious and practically designed. More importantly though I can attest to the team of health care professionals working cohesively to meet the unique needs of the people they care for with challenging heath conditions. I’m excited about the enthusiasm and dedication I see at this facility and look forward to seeing some great outcomes here."
