My brother and I had visited Carnegie Post Acute Care at Princeton and we were both very impressed. We are looking for a long term facility for our mom and this facility has everything that we are looking for. They have a very caring and thoughtful staff. Elisabeth gave us the tour and answered whatever questions that we had. We very much appreciated that she took time from her busy day to show us around and answer our questions especially since we showed up without prior notice. We very much hope that our mom will become a member of this wonderful community.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Care and Compassion – Highly Recommend! My mom recently stayed at Carnegie Post Acute Care at Princeton for rehabilitation, and I cannot say enough good things about this facility. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the warm, professional staff who truly treat every resident like family. The care team was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to support her recovery. The physical and occupational therapists were fantastic — they created a personalized plan that helped her make steady, meaningful progress every single day. The nurses and aides were always responsive, kind, and respectful, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained with a peaceful, comforting environment that feels more like a welcoming home than a medical center. The food was surprisingly good, and the activities and common areas helped keep her spirits high. We are so grateful for the excellent care my mom received here. Carnegie Post Acute Care at Princeton exceeded our expectations in every way. If your loved one needs short-term rehab or long-term care, this is the place to choose. Thank you to the entire team for your dedication and compassion! 🙏

I dropped my mother off there this past Friday. She has now been there for 4 days. Today was the 1st day they have done any kind of therapy for her. This past Sunday I went to visit my mother I was told that she was not even registered on the list and I physically dropped her off there myself on Friday. On another note she has declined and in more pain then she was when she got there. Then she is only allowed to shower 2 times a week there is 7 days in a week that is unsanitary and nasty not to be able to shower. Then I received a call yesterday from the this place we set up a time for the nurse to go to my mother's room so that we can discuss what's going on with her. I took a late lunch so that I can be ready for this phone call.. I received no call nothing. I will be there to REMOVE her from this place.. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR ANYONE

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I toured this facility while searching for a rehab center for my mother. Out of the about four about of eight places I planned to visit that week this one stood out so much that it became my last stop. The counselor Ellen was very professional and informative, the facility was very clean, and the staff were welcoming. I would highly recommend this center to anyone looking for care for their loved one. My mom been there for about 3 weeks she said it’s the best rehab center she’s been to so far and she’s been the what was considered the best in New Jersey,

Making the extremely difficult decision to transition my dearest mom from caring for her at home to moving her to a facility for Respite Care was not at all an easy one. My family and I together, explored so many options, visited many and did all the due diligence. Not convinced by any, we finally visited Carnegie Post Acute Care, which came highly recommended by one of my husband's clients. After being by her side and taking care of her my expectations for her respite care were extremely high. After she had been there for 4 1/2 months, I can confidently say that we made the best choice by choosing Carnegie Post Acute Care in Princeton. From taking us on a tour of the facility to coming home to meet my mom in-person, Michael Taylor, External Liaison Officer was so helpful and kind and gave us all the information needed to navigate through the preliminary steps in the decision making process. Next it was Ellen Schaefer, Director of Admission & Marketing, who took care of all the patient onboarding proceedings efficiently and was so kind in accommodating all our requests until the end to ensure my mom was comfortable in her new place. Ellen has gone above and beyond in making sure all our expectations were met and for that, we're so grateful. Now coming to my mom's care team, Mr. Abdul Samura and Mrs. Nazia Sultana have lead their team of nurses and aides so efficiently until her last day on earth. My mom was so lovingly cared for by a wonderful TEAM, who were like angels on earth till her last breath. Ishwary Mahenthiran 🙏🏾.
