The staffs were very friendly and accommodating. The hands on experience was really great for a first time since I being in a facility from the scheduler Kim to HR and DON was really what I wanted. I start sharing my experiences to others and hope everything remains for future staffs.

I can’t say enough great things about this place, and how kind and caring all of the staff members are but a few stand out and impact my father‘s care in such a positive way! First off, I need to do a special shout out to Ashley as she advocated and greatly assisted in the transition for my father from the hospital he was at to Cranford Park! She went over and beyond her call of duty to make sure he was able to be accepted during a long holiday weekend! She worked with the hospital social work team to speed up the process to ensure he was not kept in there on a Friday, for another three long days! She answered text and calls after hours as if we were her family and I can not tell you how much this meant to us, after dealing with not such a helpful social work team at the hospital he was at. While she was in the facility she stopped in to personally come and meet him to make him feel welcomed and comfortable! During my father’s six weeks at Cranford Park she also assisted and helped navigate the channels of an appeal with Insurance company, ensuring everything was followed up on and taken care of!Her personalized level of care is one to be recognized and truly stands out with this facility. I’ll be forever grateful but this special attention and care did not just stop there! I was greeted by Teri the case manager for the facility who went out of her way to introduce us to all the wonderful staff such as Marguerite, Derby, and Justine and the dietician to address the dietary needs and preferences my Dad had! Justine was the head of PT and he always went out of his way to answer questions and update on goals for physical therapy! When he wasn’t there Jessica stepped in to communicate what they were working on and made my Dad feel comfortable whiek working with him on his goals! Last but not least my Dad’s favorite who went out of his way to make Dad comfortable, our amazing Mohammed! He was always there to brighten my Dad’s day answer questions about medication and he was full of cheer every single day!! He most certainly went out of his way to make my father laugh, feel heard and important! His vibe was like no other so fun and full of life, keeping everyone around him happy and always laughing! When he wasn't there Kim, the nurse manager always stepped in to make sure all Dad’a needs were met with a smile and some humor as well! Justin another great nurse, very attentive and always stopped to answer questions about medication! Lastly, I’d like to mention the new social worker who truly stepped in shortly before our discharge and was able to jump right in and get things done in such a timely manner and such a professional way! Thank you to Aaliyah, who will no doubt be an asset to Cranford Park and they are lucky to have you! Although I gave special shout outs for those who made my Dad feel special and went out of there way for us but there is not one nurse, aid, or therapist that wasn't kind and caring. They were all truly amazing and our experience here was truly a great one! I will forever be grateful that my path crossed with Ashley at that hospital in Brooklyn and can never express the gratitude for helping us set everything up for the transfer and being there every step of the way! Truly wonderful experience! Forever grateful to Cranford Park and there great level of care!

I had a wonderful experience with Cranford Park Care in Cranford, NJ. The staff is incredibly professional, compassionate, and truly dedicated to the well-being of their patients. From the moment I arrived, I noticed how clean, organized, and welcoming the facility is. The medical team and caregivers take the time to understand each patient’s needs and provide personalized care and support throughout the recovery process. It’s clear that they genuinely care about helping people regain their health and independence. I highly recommend Cranford Park Care at 600 Lincoln Park E to anyone looking for a trusted and supportive rehabilitation center.

Let’s start off with the therapist crew… They are a team of some of the best therapy crew I’ve ever worked with in a care center facility! Now on to the CNAs: most are very good, but unfortunately never enough. Very short staffed in my opinion, and it’s unfair to them and very unfair to the patients. Nurses are the best over there!! It’s just that I saw that they were all running around trying to keep up with everyone that they needed to and many patients (including myself at the time) were already asleep a lot of times and being woken up to take meds. I know when I’m supposed to take my meds and to be woken up out of a sleep is highly unfair to someone such as myself who needs all the sleep I can get!! I get it the nurses have a job to do but still… But overall….its not a bad place in my opinion but it definitely needs some work to improve things. The food, and recreation departments… ehh.. the food in my opinion wasnt too bad… I was on a regular diet and most of the food wasnt bad, but sometimes a bit too salty!! Recreation department: what was that?? The whole time I was there they didn’t come into the room I was in and ask me would I like to be part of something that they had going on for recreation/entertainment? No i wasnt asked! So I stayed in my room most of the time except when i went into the gym for therapy or to just walk up and down the hall to get some extra exercise. Anyway.. now that I’m home, I get a call wayyy past the date I was brought home by transportation services, I get a call trying to set up some things for after being brought home care… and things are already being set up, so this person who called was a bit “late to the party” as I like to put things lol Anyway… I thank everyone who done their job and done it right, but like I said, some areas do need to be looked at. Now, my place is “home sweet home”!!!
