Nursing Home Communities in Somerset, NJ

"My issue is with billing when my mom went on hospice care when I agreed to pay $350 per day for room and board beginning on April 16 2019 for which I sent a check for $2450 to cover from 4/16-4/22. My mom passed away just after midnight on 4/19. I requested a refund for the unused days I paid for. After several phone calls the check arrived for less than expected with no paperwork attached as to how it they justified the amount. I called again asking for a call back to resolve the issue and instead received paperwork showing they were charging for a day prior to going on hospice for which traditional Medicare pays. My wife advised me not to send the payment in advance and wait to be billed I wish now I had listened to her advice."

"Other than parking, Hopkins Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare was very nice. The lobby was pleasant. When they took me up to see the floors, the facility was pretty clean. The residents that I met there were pleasant. Sometimes, you tour a nursing home and they look miserable, and they didn't seem that way there. The staff was pleasant. They have an activity calendar for the month and they had several things to do daily. Usually in the summertime because it's warm, they have a barbecue every Wednesday. They have a backyard where the residents can go and that was nice, very peaceful, and very green. The dining area was clean, pretty new, and good-sized, and they had a menu. It impressed me. The staff was very helpful and informative. I felt comfortable. I didn't get a bad vibe."

"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."

"Regency Heritage has a caring, helpful and responsive staff. Kimberly, Jane, and Ashley are just outstanding! "

"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."

"ProMedica Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation in Piscataway is great. It really is. I've been back and forth here like four times, and the people are good. They give me three meals today, physical therapy, my medicine, and if I need help getting dressed and washed up, they help me do that. They have all kinds of activities for the residents, like movies. There is something is going on every day."

"The staff there seem to really care about the patients. They do many activities such as movies, bowling, shopping, computers, pets, and cooking. I enjoy the commune to the place because it is close and it is very welcoming. they do an excellent job here. The only negative thing about it, is it is on the pricey side. "

"My mother spent several years as a resident at Parker at Landing Lane, until she passed peacefully in her sleep. The staff were both competent and caring. They accommodated our special requests, explained my mom's care carefully and thoroughly, and were always patient and attentive with both my mom and with her visitors. Most importantly, they treated my mother with caring and respect. Frequently, when a nurse or aide would pass us in the hallway, she would stop to greet us, hold my mother's hand or give her a little hug, and speak directly to her with affection even though my mom was unable to say anything in return. I will be forever grateful that my mother's last years were spent at Parker, with a staff that made it like a home."

"CareOne at Somerset Valley was great. The room wasn't pretty or ugly but was sufficient for my mom's needs. My mom was in their assisted living for 11 months. The staff was outstanding and cared for Mom. They were concerned and tried to address all of her needs. The food was good for my taste, but it needed more seasoning. They had a lot of things going on. My mom had physical therapy and light exercise in the common room, bingo, games, and various artists coming in like musicians and magicians. They did a very good job in keeping the place."

"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 toured the Embassy Manor at Edison Nursing and Rehabilitation and I think it's good. The layout was good, the tour was amazing, and the staff was good. They showed me all the things I needed and they explained everything to me. I did not see the actual food but they said it was food. I was looking for more vegetarian options and they have a complete section of it. That impressed me a lot."

"We recently toured the facility and found this 5 star nursing home to be clean and caring. The administrator met us and took us throughout the building where we spoke to a few residents and staff. One of the activities staff said "we have a good time here" and all the residents I spoke to supported her. Everyone seemed to be busy with exercising, bingo, black jack, mah jong, religious services, arts and crafts or just chatting with their friends and family. The nurses were always present helping the residents and they seemed to be very polite and respectful. This facility has a special Chinese unit where they prepare and serve Chinese meals from their own menu, have Chinese-language television and weekly visits from Chinese volunteers who provide a lively exercise program. All in all it was a wonderful visit and I'm anxious to have our family member admitted asap. "

"They have a very loving, caring staff. It is difficult to have to put a loved one in someone else's care if its not to be home then this is the place to be, They made this transition a lot less stressful. Thank you for everything that you do! I enjoyed siting in the day room and meeting others, as well as the fresh Buffet daily"
