Nursing Home Communities in Raritan, NJ

"I had to express my appreciation to all the staff members for helping a group of Laurel Bay's residents enjoying the fireworks celebration. It was nice and lots of fun to see the fireworks. The colors were beautiful, it was nice to be part of the viewers of this Fourth of July Celebration. "

"My grandmother stayed at Lincoln Park Renaissance and the medical/nursing care that she got received was above and beyond. The way the staff (CNA, Nurses, therapists...) cared for her during her 3 month stay as if it was their own family member. The food was really good, and any medical question/need was given its utmost attention. I would feel very comfortable sending my love one there again."

"My aunt is at Rehab at River's Edge. They seemed to be OK with her, she's happy, and has no complaints with being there. We really have to have a lot of contact because we are not allowed to go there. The rehabilitation people have called a lot of times to let us know what her status is, and that kind of stuff, so there's no problems. She likes the food, she's happy with the food, and she has no complaints about anything. From what I've seen I've only been in the main lobby part of it, and it's in very good condition I have never been into the rooms. They don't allow the visits."

"My mother is at River's Edge. The staff is helpful, but understaffed on the weekend. They’re very helpful people though, and they have activities. My mother is in a shared room. The housekeeping does a good job. They clean adequately. The rooms are spacious. There are small closets. "

"No place will EVER be perfect. Having seen quite a few nursing homes over the years, this Bridgeway facility has been, by far, the best I have encountered. This facility is nicely laid out and decorated - and CLEAN. Nursing homes typically have "that smell". Not here. Some odors cannot be avoided, but, they are temporary; and the air in the building is not too dry or humid either. The temperature is comfortable as well. My mother resides here, and I have been very pleased with her care. ANY time there is the slightest issue with her health, the nursing department contacts me immediately. I have had some relatively minor issues with staff. I contacted the head nurse on the station, and she rectified the problem immediately. My mother is well, happy, and comfortable, and this is of most importance to me."

"I was a patient at Green Knoll. I want to thank, congratulate, and to give a special recognition to those staff members that went above and beyond the call of duty pertaining to my care. The physical therapy team was incredible. My personal trainer took me under her wing and brought me from bedridden state to a walking/functioning human being. She made sure that I would be able to function on my own when I was released. I was tended by many nurses, and they were all extra special in my care. Everyone here is truly amazing."

"If you are thinking of putting a loved one in the New Jersey Eastern Star Home in Bridgewater NJ, you may want to hear about my terrible experience. My father was transferred to that facility from the hospital. The facility was given time to look over his records and after that, accepted the transfer. When we arrived in his room, it was obvious that the room had not been cleaned. The toilet was filthy, there were no toiletries, the pillowcase was soiled, and the phone was also dirty. I showed it to the staff member in the room and there was very little reaction. This leads me to believe it is not unusual. That should have been a clue that this facility was not going to work out. The following day we receive a call that he was being discharged. They said he would not be eligible for services because he would not make any progress with rehab. They determined that in less than 12 hours. We wanted to know why they would not even give him a chance to improve and was given no reason. We asked to speak to someone clinical to ask why, but no one would speak with us. I left multiple messages for the rehab director to call me back, but she did not. I email her and the Administrator and neither called me, even though I said it was urgent. To this day, they still have not returned my calls or emails. Now we were faced with no time to investigate another facility. We should have been given three days noticed before they discharged him, but we were not. We had to scramble to find a facility that would take him. Based on this experience, I would not recommend that you put a loved one in this facility. If an urgent matter should arise, you cannot be sure that your issue will be addressed. This facility does not take urgent matters seriously."

"I will say we had a difficult time making a decision to pick a rehab facility during covid times. Reading some of the reviews didn’t help but I do take into consideration that people tend to only review negative experiences but I would like to tell you about our experience. From the start our first chats with Bianca was so detailed and assuring we decided to go with CareOne. We were assigned another social worker also named Bianca Z. She was so caring and kind. Made sure we were able to contact her at anytime. My dad went in for a leg infection after staying at the hospital for 21 days. He needed to regain his strength. The director of physical therapy, Elaine was beyond amazing! I can tell her goal was to get my dad better fast and safely. She asked key questions to how his living situation was to make sure he would go home and be able to function well in his own home. During my father’s hospital stay he ended up having to be on dialysis. They arranged transport to and from the facility and all went seamlessly. Art the director of food was amazing making sure his dietary needs were met. My dad actually said he liked a lot of the foods. The nurses were very diligent with his care. His wound was well taken care of and they did a great job with standard hygiene procedures. He said he always felt clean and clothes were changed regularly. Because of covid he was quarantined for his first 14 days. The facility visitation team, Enite and Will were absolutely amazing! They would schedule window visits for us and made sure we could see my dad daily. Knowing we could only see him though a window was tough but being able to see him when we wanted was amazing. Covid times make for difficult situation but we couldn’t have felt more comfortable that he was in great hands. Communication from all his care team was top notch. We were very happy with our experience and my dad he said he was going to miss the staff. I really felt so much understanding from the team, Bianca, Elaine, Art, Will and Enite really took an interest in our family and treated my dad like family! A very scary and hard decision ended up being really positive and amazing. We won’t forget the people that helped get him better and we are grateful for them. I hope this helps someone make their decision. "

"We liked Bridgeway Care and Rehab Center at Hillsborough very much. It was one of the newer and cleaner places. It had large windows and a high ceiling in the lobby, and it just felt very airy. The rooms were much larger than the place that my sister is in now. The bedrooms were shared and the bathroom was only shared by those 2 people. The bathroom was huge and it got a huge walk-in shower and they provided the shower chairs and the commodes to go over the toilet so that they have arms and they can stand easily. The showers have all kinds of rails in them for safety. The furniture was new and it looked very comfortable. They provided flat-screen TVs for all the residents. I've visited at times when most of the residents were in activities. So, I've seen them playing bingo and Family Feud. The schedule for the activities was extensive and they all looked so happy. They explained to us that they have a printed menu and the residents will have a choice, and it's also online. So, I can just go online and read the menu to her so she can have a choice. Their rehab facility was pretty large and it had a lot of machines."

"I had one woman whom I talked with at The Avalon at Hillsborough who was very informative. She sat down with me and talked over finances. I think it all went pretty smoothly. The place was laid out pretty nicely with a dining room set up like a nice restaurant. They seemed to have a lot of activities, a theater room, a pool table outside, and a little stand for popcorn or candies. "

"My mother-in-law was at Foothill Acres Rehabilitation & Nursing Center for three weeks. What I liked the most about them was the responsiveness of all of the staff there. They were very quick to respond whenever I called them, they answered right away, and I was not put off at all. They were just very kind and I thought that they were excellent."

"My Mother was at fellowship For rehab, I thought the transition from the hospital into fellowship village was excellent coordinated. The nurses, therapists and all the staff was very polite ,friendly and attentive to her and us , her room was kept clean , my mom was well taken care of , and also it is a excellent facility.Thank you the fellowship village team for the excellent work ."

"I'm very pleased with Parker at Somerset. They have a doctor and nurses constantly. My sister-in-law is getting excellent medical care. The staff has been very helpful. She's dressed every day, she eats in a little dining room with others, and I'm just very pleased with the place. I like the personnel and she's getting the care she needs. I don't have to pay for any personal products as well. They have an afternoon session where they're listening to music or doing little exercises with the mind and things like that. The place itself is very clean and well attended. They do her laundry and I got to meet the laundry staff and he was very pleasant."

"My father-in-law was in Willow Creek Rehabilitation and Care Center. It was OK. It wasn’t as nice as the place we put them in and I don’t think that the staff was as professional, caring, and responsive. The nursing staff should probably pay attention to their patients more than they did. The cleanliness wasn’t fantastic. The food was OK."
