Update: On a few occasions, my father said that he had his "buzzer" taken away, so he couldn't…read morecall for help if he needed it. He requested kosher food, and was provided with a very limited diet that essentially consisted of stuffed shells and sandwiches - a very poor diet, especially considering he was supposed to be building back up his strength and endurance after pneumonia. Communication (the lack thereof) continued to be a major problem. After yelling and screaming several times, we finally got little bits and pieces of information from the facility. While at Cranbury Center, he contracted Covid (and was sent into "isolation" as a result), and then suffered another bout of pneumonia. The facility at least called us to tell us about these occurrences. Finally, he had shortness of breath and a low oxygen level, which resulted in the staff releasing him back to the hospital. Thank goodness he was finally able to "escape!" To add insult to injury, the facility then sent my parents a bill of close to $3000, since they'd kept him for more than 21 days and his Medicare only covered the first 21 days. The facility's lack of professionalism and transparency have been absolutely appalling, and my father on more than one occasion told me he felt like he was not going to survive his stay there. We have told the hospital that, if he needs to be released back into rehab, under absolutely no circumstances was he to be released to Cranbury Center.

I had high hopes for this place for my mother in law. However, I am not impressed. I understand…read morethere is a process for visiting her with Covid -we can't just visit or hug her. (let me point out, we are now vaccinated-entire family and she is vaccinated). I am worried about her mental health and also about how many more mothers days does she has left. My point is. What was the point of her getting vaccinated and us getting vaccinated if we still can't see her. What a waste. If you have someone in here. Don't bother with the vaccine. It does not matter. you still can't see them. Through a glass or a window. Maybe one person going in not all the time. This sounds to me like abuse. Not of the physical kind but of the mental kind for her and us. We really thought that getting vaccinated was going to make a difference and guess what NOTHING. When do we get to hug her? Next year. Hopefully she will be here. And again, we have all being vaccinated for 3 months already. Waiting and waiting. This is mental abuse. I don't care what the state says still abusive to those elders and their families that have follow the process and gotten vaccines. DISGRACEFUL. Shame on you NJ.

I received rehab for 1/2 hour a day (Only if I asked} At no time did anyone come to my room to schedule a time to go to PT. If I strolled into the PT room I would quickly shown a bike to sit on. How is that possible, no appointment??? I always had to ask for my sheets to be changed, never did they make it part of their daily routine. Often, I just gave up asking. Lastly, the reason I felt compelled to write this review was for the following incident that must be exposed. I received breakfast as usual around 8:00 AM on Sunday April 11th. When I received my meal it was not eatable and was cold. Things that are cooked should be at least warm. When I as for it to be warmed up the attendant REFUSED TO GET IT WARMED UP BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WANT TO WALK BACK TO THE KITCHEN TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. The administration ASKED the attendant to apologize but refused. Anywhere else on planet earth immediate expulsion would have been called for. Instead, the attendant thumbed her nose at the administration and merely a useless grievance was filled out. {We all know where that will end up) In conclusion, if you want evidence that the system is broken here it is. I will be following this up legally and on social media. one star

My husband spent 6 weeks in this facility due to a broken arm and balance issues, and the care he…read morereceived was excellent. I want to specifically call out Rose Buzzetta, the OT, Neesha, the PT and Manbir S., one of his nurses. They provided exceptional care and truly showed the compassion and care he needed. He needed some extra care due to the length of his stay, and they took great care of him! Thank you!! He also thought the food was very good, which is high praise coming from this foodie! The only negative was the fact that we have been waiting for quite a while for a refund we are owed - he was released on 1/23/26 and we are still waiting - he has talked to the office multiple times and is now no longer receiving any callbacks from them (they are not returning our calls). Otherwise, this would have been a 5-star rating.

As with most of these facilities an involved family is able to shake some trees and ensure better care. However, it's heartbreaking to see long-term residents with few family members or friends who languish while the clock runs out. The food is decent and the staff (what there is of them) are kind and caring but make no mistake CareOne was conceived in the late 1990's as a hedge-funders erotic dream to drive profit and efficiency. They have been successful... as CareOne is the number one brand of senior living facilities in NJ. Two stars.

I spent 3 more months in the hospital after leaving CareOne! There is little to no medical staff available except for 1 nurse who hands out medication to too many patients. Physical Therapy was supposed to be 5 to 6 times per week, but they couldn't get me on the schedule more then 2 times a week. I don't know what to say about the aides. They sat in the hall on their cell phones more then attending to patients. They wouldn't help me walk to the bathroom or give me a bedside commode. It was easier for them to put me in a diaper. What was even worse then being in a diaper, was that the aides only came around to change patients after meals. They didn't care if that meant leaving us in a dirty diaper for hours. This place should be shut down by the state. I was there for the Physical Therapy, many others are there for other reasons and are unable to advocate for themselves. I would give them 0 stars if possible.
