Last year, the NJ Health Department fined the place for gross understaffing violations; the former…read moreadministrator was dismissed, as was a nurse, who is also under investigation by the NJ State Board of Nursing..for violating patient privacy laws...her incompetence led to officers from the local police department being dispatched and an elderly patient (92 years old) being compelled to temporarily leave the facility on a frigid night in the middle of January. At least two lawsuits are pending against the place, and there is a long laundry list of complaints and violations.

I know there's always going to be some issues with any type of senior care but for our situation they have an incredible attentive staff, meals that provide correct nutrition and a management team that listens and provides timely feedback and recommendations for the best possible care.

There is a reason that Parker at Somerset often has a long wait list and was the top of our list as…read morea subacute rehab facility. The care team you receive focuses on each individual's needs. The care team meets with both resident and family member for the subacute rehab facility to discuss the care plan of action and goals. The subacute suites have ample space and privacy curtains and doors for patients to have rest and a quiet stay. Each room in the subacute facility is private, so no patient has to share the space. The beds are twin long adjustable beds. There is a large bathroom with plenty of safety bars and space for a short stay. We had planned on 20 days, but it ended up being only a 4 days stay. The staff is primarily Filipino and kind. Some shared their journey that brought them to nursing care and a rehab facility. While there are several Parker locations, Somerset is the only subacute facility. It's roughly a 15 minute drive from Robert Wood Johnson hospital. Many people are concerned about the quality of the food at a subacute center. Parker gave menus with at least two options per meal and a static list of always available items. You can have the opportunity to meet with a nutritionist to discuss personal goals and food challenges. They accommodate every meal to meet patient needs or requests. You do need to request salt, pepper, and butter, but it's better to be able to add than have everything over seasoned. There is a round the clock refreshment station available with juices, water, coffee, and tea. The upgraded facility is really beautiful and set back into the landscape, providing privacy for residents. There are plenty of areas to gather outdoors with the help of staff to exit or enter the building. There is a cafe designed for families visiting with patients. It's cash only and you can purchase a salad, soup, or sandwich. They also offer some of the hot meals available to residents so you acne sample what's available. The check-in process requires signing yourself in and out of the facility. It's very convenient and the by your second visit, the person at the front desk will recognize you. I highly recommend Parker and want to thank nurse Christen for welcoming me and showing me kindness while adjusting to the facility.

He spoke highly of his experience there with the care provided to his wife who suffered with Parkinson's. As of the last three months, he said he is satisfied with the amount of activity and friendly residents at this establishment. I was blown away at how beautifully decorated and brightly colored this place was. I've visited various rehabs, nursing homes, and assisted living places, and many, unfortunately resemble hospitals or are depressing looking. This one was not that, and instead looked like a fun hotel or resort. Looking forward to visiting my friends here again, and hearing more about their perspective. So far they are greatly pleased with their first hand experience!
