Unfortunately, I have to give the Bridgewater location of Bridgeway Care and Rehabilitation only…read moreone star... I wish I could give it less. My relative was there in the rehab facility after falling. When he got there, he could still stand up, but needed help to get up and walk. He got very little physical therapy, and his abilities deteriorated instead of improving. (Admittedly, that might have happened anyway, but would have been less likely had they provided adequate physical therapy.) The social worker and occupational therapist told us that the amount of physical therapy he could have was severely limited by his medical insurance. We contacted the insurer, and they told us that was not true. My relative was (and others, too, were) unable to get anyone to help him get to the bathroom. The aides and most of the nurses were caring and tried their best, but the facility is understaffed. If patients can't walk on their own, they wind up in diapers so there's no need for the staff to help them to the bathroom. Our relative was left in bed much of the time, got bedsores, and by the time we got him out of there, he could no longer stand up on his own no less walk. My opinion is that the rehab side of Bridgeway at Bridgewater serves as a pipeline to the permanent nursing home side of the facility, rather than rehabilitating patients so they can go back to their own homes and lives.

Dont judge a book by its cover. Fellowship Village looks beautiful, and the amenities may be nice…read morefor independent living but I do not recommend it for short term sub-acute rehab. My 90 year old mom was there for four weeks after a long hospital stay. Sometimes she waited over 40 minutes just to go to the bathroom. The aids never ask if there is anything else that she need, they walk right out of the room as soon as she is back in her chair, often forgetting to give her her call button. Instead of helping her get back to independent living they got her dependent on diapers. The physical therapy wasnt all that great either (they did not do too much). The food is horrible and my mom lost 15 pounds after the first 3 weeks without anyone saying anything to me. Oh and the showers, my mom got a foot fungus. and it took two weeks for her just to get her first shower. They sent her home without having a shower in 10 days. Like others said, there are a few nice people who care, but most don't. I saw the aids hanging out in an oversized closet so that they cant be found when paged.

The owners, the Pelligrinos and Rivera-Dugenios families, have a smoke-free policy on their locations, which we knew and accepted.

More and more New Jersey is becoming a socialist state but denying someone access to assisted living because they smoke, takes away from Constitutional rights. Given this is a private facility, there are no constitutional rights on private property. Keep that in mind when putting your parent into assisted living. You're better off having in-home care.

In my opinion & experience, our family recently experienced a very upsetting and confusing…read moreadmissions process involving a Medicaid-pending married couple seeking placement together. After touring the facility, being told both my parents would be accepted and together , which was most important to my family & expressed deeply to the administration. I was encouraged to initiate the transfer process for my mother who is in another facility , after obtaining OCCO/PAS approval, and transferring one spouse into the facility all was approved , we were later informed that the second spouse was being denied due to "acuity level" and "payor "status concerns. What made this especially difficult was the lack of any clear clinical explanation despite repeated questions, while nearly every conversation focused heavily on finances, Medicaid pending status, payees, and financial responsibility paperwork & give us until Monday after a stressful week to discuss like it didn't matter . Families navigating long-term care are already overwhelmed emotionally, financially, and physically. Communication matters. Transparency matters. If there are concerns about Medicaid pending admissions, families deserve honest and direct communication before major decisions are made , especially when dealing with elderly married couples who may now face separation after relying on representations made during the admissions process. I strongly encourage families to: * read every admissions and financial form carefully, * understand the difference between POA and personal financial responsibility, * keep all communications documented * and ask detailed questions before making transfer decisions Be aware that federal law (42 CFR § 483.15) prohibits facilities from requiring a third-party guarantee of payment. As for the food , my father hates it and says it's disgusting . He said he has lost a lot of weight , he says his stomach is shrinking & he is not liking , or eating the food , he is hungry all the time however he said he can't stomach to eat the food . . I have ordered outside food to the facility upon my Dads request. My dad is Jewish , he's not at all kosher , however he liked the Kosher meals on wheels at home . Outside of PT and OT sessions, my father appears to spend nearly all day in his room/in bed with little to no meaningful activity or engagement , which to me is deeply concerning . Communication and responsiveness to the facility have also been extremely frustrating during our experience. This process has been heartbreaking and unnecessarily stressful for our family. Mother's Day weekend passed & my parents are now an hour from one another & separated due to what happened here . Disgraceful Not to mention I feel the admissions department is useless & they do not respond with any concerns whatsoever!! UPDATE JULY 9, 2026: In my opinion : The negligence at this facility continues to worsen. The facility recently lost my father's custom dentures for two full days--a clear sign that staff is not performing the daily oral care required by the facility . Instead of taking responsibility, the administration actually tried to blame my 90 year old father with vascular dementia to try to avoid paying for them, claiming "he said he put them in his pocket." This facility loses personal property, refuses to take accountability, and tries to financially exploit vulnerable families to cover up their staff's failure who was & supposed to be cleaning the dentures daily at night & had no idea they were missing for two whole days . A formal complaint has been filed with the New Jersey Department of Health ++!! Update - I feel the healthcare that my father is getting is unacceptable- it's now over a month that the facility lost my dads dentures - to top it off the owner's son is only interested in sending alleged bills to my home .He told me only families that have signed agreements that are Medicaid pending (my dad is pending ) not receive private pay bills , If I do receive 1 more I will post all of them . Advice - sign nothing !
