    My dad moved into Mill Gardens in 2005, and lived there until his death in 2011. I was very happy…read morewith the service of care he received over these years. The staff were caring and responsive, and every one was considered equally. I did not live near by, but was in frequent comunication either by phone or email and was treated as though I was a part of the family. I can not speak highly enough of this residency and the quality of care dad received even upto and including the end. Sorry to hear that the above gentleman had a negative visiting experience, everyone has an off day once in awhile.

    My Mom has been my best friend, confidant and partner in crime since I was a kid. She has lived…read morewith me for the last 20 years, we traveled together and had a wonderful time. However, accepting that it was time for her to move into another home environment was really difficult. I was hysterical and cried to Tamara. She showed me such care and compassion that day, I knew this was the best place possible for my Mom. To this day, she remains sincere, caring and compassionate, to me and all the residents every day. Mom moved into Twin Cedars December 1, 2017. I notice a lot when I visit my Mom. I see how the residents look, how they smell, I see how the staff members treat the residents and very important - I see how the residents react to the staff. I have said it before and I still say it today, I am so thankful they have a great staff. I know the heart of Twin Cedars begins with the owner, she really makes TC the wonderful place, a home. The staff is a direct reflection of that. They work very hard, I see it myself. They are so very good to the residents and joke and play with them. The whole feeling of TC is a very warm, caring and family environment. The staff has unending patience with me, my questions and some slightly over the top requests. On a great note, because of the care that my Mom has received over the last 10 months, I feel less protective and less worried as I know she is safe. I visit once a week and always feel welcome and happy there. I am thankful to all at Twin Cedars. The house (a beautiful ranch style, very large home) is always neat, clean, odor free and comfortable. The food that is served is well balanced and very tasty. There is a nice variety and they are always willing to help and offer choices. The activities and enrichment programs seem endless. You can tell that the people working there are doing with love in their hearts. Not only do they take care of your loved one, they help you adjust to the new life you will have. I cannot say enough positive wonderful things about Twin Cedars. Having them so close to my home is a real blessing. Thank you Tamara and all the beautiful staff. I will see you soon!

    Twin Cedars is an excellent facility. My grandmother has been a resident for the last few years and…read moreshe couldn't be happier. Above all, our family has been impressed with the staff, very positive, very enthusiastic and respectful. Everyone at Twin Cedars cares about their jobs and it shows. My family had concerns when the pandemic began, but the facility put those fears to bed. We've been deeply satisfied with how seriously the staff has taken the coronavirus. They have absolutely risen to the challenge and taken the utmost precautions. In times like these it is more important than ever that the staff do their very best, and I know they give 110% here. Since they have not had a single case of coronavirus,I feel safer having my grandma here than I feel going into most stores. Couldn't reccomend Twin Cedars enough - thank you to everyone at the facility for their hard work and dedication

    Our family was misguided by this facility that completely misrepresented themselves and were left…read moredeeply disappointed. They gained while he was put at risk. Once they took him it turned out to be the opposite of what they sold. Their sales people are not educated in health care. In the case of our Father, we were transparent about his Dementia and unsure what the proper place was for him. They assured us that they were familiar and had the proper structure in place to give him adequate care. They went further to say that they were building out a memory care unit which he would be perfect for. He never received the services they offered, which were PT, OT, Speech and Psych. He only received PT on a sporadic basis. They mismanaged his Meds for his first two months which we only found out during a med renewal period. They missed hygiene appointments and were late taking him to meals on several occasions. He was moved to another room due to bed bugs and left in confusion alone in the unfamiliar room for hours at a time resulting a face first fall whereby he was hospitalized after suffering a bad black eye and cut to the bridge of his nose. The Aides were completely untrained to handle full care and in fact took video without permission publicly ridiculing and chastising him. Our Dad suffered injuries, malnourishment and setbacks, which was devastating for our family. No one there took accountability. Instead they pressed us to get him out, which we were looking to and finally able to do. Unless they truly dedicate themselves to being nothing but a sales job, your cared one will be at risk there both in health and economically.

    I was admitted on June 8th 2026. I came in by ambulance. After being dropped off in my bed by the…read moreambulance crew ,no one came in my room for over 2hours to say hello to admit me or to ask who I was. My husband was there and wondered was I in the right facility. I heard aids and nurses talking and laughing, but no one came to my room to admit me . When they finally came it wasnt without them first lying to me about my nurses name. I later found out my medication was not at the facility and had to be ordered. This was my BP medication . So when they took my vitals it was increasingly high, putting my health at risk. When I'd call for a nurse , it could be at least an hour before anyone would come in to see what I needed ;on my good days I'd walk to the nurses station in pain to request my pain medicine myself since Noone was coming to see what I wanted. I wanted to leave this facility but my doctor worked out of here and I needed antibiotics 3xs a day by I .V. and 2 times by mouth. So, I suffered through. Because leaving meant starting all over when I had 6-8 weeks of treatment to go. The overnight crew was horrible. When I'd press the button no one answered . But, they'd forget I could walk and walk very softly . I'd find my nurse watching T.V. in the lounge area and the aid fast asleep. When caught and frightened by my sudden appearance they'd get an attitude when I asked for my pain meds . They'd retaliate by bringing my pain meds a half hour to an hour later. I hated when it was time for the overnight staff to take care of me. The last week I met Nurse Brian who really put a sour taste in my mouth for Care One. I had never met him before until 4am when I walked upon him to ask for pain meds because my light had been on for over 40 mins. The aid was sleep in the lounge and I surprised him when I walked up. I asked him for pain meds and it went south from there. To the point I had to write a formal complaint with Maritza nurse supervisor who told me she had given it to the director. So I wont discuss it in detail here. Hopefully its being handled. I took care of myself while in Care One. I bathed myself, I cleaned and bandaged my own wounds and purchased my own bandages and dressings until Lea the administrator found out and purchased some bandages for me. For which I was thankful.But , I still bandaged and took care of my own wound .During the day as weeks went by ,I met some incredible nurses I will never forget. Nurse Shay with her sweet smile and pleasant personality and attention to detail and care , I will always remember her. Nurse Gabby for always checking in to make sure im good. Because I kept my door closed and never asked for anything unless I was in pain. Nurse Shirley, for keeping me sane when I wanted to leave throw in the towel and leave Care One. She is detail oriented and knew what I needed before I even asked. She encourage me to drink the protein even when I refused because it would help me heal. I did it because it meant I could walk out of Care One stronger at least in my mind. Some of the aids I'll never forget during the day are Ms.Whatea, Ms. Diana and Ms Patsy. Even when I was in pain and had a rough night they'd brighten my day with a smile or a laugh. That meant a lot. Care One you've fixed up the esthetics of the place really nice. But, if you dont have the right staff to run the place you could have saved your money. The daytime nurses need help . They are understaffed. I worked in St. Joseph's Hospital Paterson for 10 years in their Cardiology Dept and I watched nurses get burned out. They love their jobs but they can't give adequate care when they are being stretched thin. You can't keep drawing from the same well and expect to draw water. You are going to pull up an empty bucket. Administration arent out their in the trenches doing the work yet they expect the impossible from the same good nurses. Get rid of the dead weight thats pulling Care One down so you can be the facility you are striving to be. Get up early one morning and walk softly through there at 3am and see what Ive seen. Aids sleeping with sweatshirts pulled over their faces in the hall. Or mouths wide open in the halls in plain site or sprawled out in the corner of the lounge . Then run to help when their eyes meet yours staring at them sleeping. While the light has been on for over 45 minutes. I dont need help at that point. Im just letting them know I see them. Nurses watching TV on their phones in the cubbyhole nodding off. Ive seen it all. Because ; I dont sleep due to pain. So I walk around hoping to ease the pain. But, what I see causes me even more pain. What about the poor patients who can't walk or advocate for themselves as I can? Do they just lay in a wet or soiled diaper all night or suffer in pain ?? I shutter to think. But, a 2 star is as far as I can reach for this facility. If it weren't for the nurses and aids I mentioned it would have been 1 star.

    ZERO would be too high of a score. Run, don't walk, and get away from this place as fast as you…read morecan. They are seriously understaffed. The aides make patients wait 30-45 minutes for help when they press the call button. Patients are neglected by the aides, and the nursing management staff likes to use the narrative that the patient is confused when they are not. You have to beg for showers, as aides just say "not today" and then tell the nurses the patient refused the shower. This place might look pretty, but the level of neglect is off the charts.
