I appreciate the admissions director, she took the time to answer my questions and talked me through the steps to get Medicaid for a family member. I appreciate her doing that when though she knew her facility couldn’t meet the care needs since I need a locked unit.

I wish I could give zero stars or I would. If you want to send your loved one to a place that is fully staffed, has compassionate workers that will assist with your loved ones needs? Do not send them here! Had a relative very close relative passed away due to several falls as she was a fall risk which said it right on her wrist! when I went up there, the smell was terrible, Staff members taking their sweet time and leaving people for hours for the simplest things. The “lack of staff” issue was everyday. This place is a health hazard in more ways than one! Look elsewhere!

A vintage cottage feel- like you’re at home when you walk in. Receptionist Nancy was very kind and welcoming. Rare to see nurses and aides smiling at a visitor. I’ve worked with a lot of nursing homes. The biggest thing I look for is compliance, documentation and care. It was very clean, which is rare to find. The administrator genuinely mentioned she wants to give back to the community and see how they can get involved. Not to gain anything. But truly see what to give to contribute, even if it’s a companion volunteer. Excited for them. Rare to find ethical healthcare workers especially in leadership…

My dad is in a very long recovery process after illness in ‘22. We have been to several different facilities along the way, I now have a comparison to a facility another family member is in, and without a doubt I can say that Cranbury Center has the largest group of caring people that chose their job for the right reason. My dads main purpose for being in a sub acute facility was rehabilitation. The REHABILITATION TEAM is amazing, Ron and Mike were the primary therapists that made the success happen. The entire team worked together with new ideas for every session to get my dad up and moving, speech got him off a peg tube and back to eating and drinking with no restrictions. My dad showed up with a tracheostomy, stage 4 wound, peg tube, not even able to move his arms at all; he left WALKING with a walker, no oxygen, no dietary restrictions. Yvette was very thorough in ensuring my dads wound was being treated properly and helped my mom and I get trained on how to care for it at home. The nursing staff from administrative level to the aids were all very caring and had an important role in motivating my dad, taking very good care of him. I witnessed plenty of communication among the entire TEAM to keep everyone informed of the patients current status and needs. I witnessed amazing team work, all departments have to work together to coordinate care and therapy, they help each other and make it happen. I’ve witnessed administration helping as aids and delivering meals. I’ve witnessed staff caring for patients with no family making them feel loved and cared for, spending time with them, painting their nails, braiding their hair. The team jumps in to assist in whatever is needed. In the last several years, health care is a very stressful environment to work in and is always suffering staffing crisis, but the amazing team at Cranbury continues to give it their all when they start their shift to care for the patients and residents. My dad was there for 6 months, many people there became “our family”. They guided us along the way, trained us thoroughly to be ready for discharge and to be able to care for him at home and to keep his rehabilitation progressing. We have a goal of walking back in for a visit, with a cane, by March! We are eternally grateful to all our special angels at Cranbury.
