I cannot say enough about this lovely facility and the staff that made it "home". My husband Lincoln started declining in 2020 and I took care of him for 2 years until we both realized we needed help. By this time he was starting to have a hard time walking and his Alzheimer's disease (and later diagnosed Parkinson's) was progressing. We were lucky enough to be directed to New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home at Menlo Park, after his stay at St. Alban's for about 3 months (which I was not impressed with). We applied to the nursing home (even though the social worker at St. Alban's said he would not get in) and he was accepted in June 2022, where Ed, who retired shortly after, answered all of our questions and was extremely patient. What a wonderful place to be! From day one we were treated like family. From the front desk to Lincoln’s room in the Liberty unit; we were treated with kindness, friendliness, and love. Every shift was wonderful! Between my daughters and I, one of us were there 7 days a week. My husband’s brother Nicky lived up the street from the nursing home and he helped when we couldn’t get to see him. He gladly went to see his little brother and was also very welcomed by the staff! The Liberty Unit was our home for four years. We want to thank his wonderful aides, especially Mickey and Kerline for taking such wonderful care of him and being transparent with us. Thank you Rose, Eric, Herga, Angeline, and so many more!! We also want to thank Dr. Kaylen who took such wonderful care of Lincoln and was patient as we navigated this new normal. Our wonderful nurses Marjorie, Katia, Elsie, Nadia, and Jermaine made us feel comfortable. The recreation staff Karen (now retired), Christine, Adrienne, and so many more, provided so much fun and many events/entertainment for the residents and always included everyone. The kitchen staff, Greg, Lizette, Tatiana, as well as many others treated everyone with respect and kindness. Our patient advocate John Walker does a fantastic job as well-he is always so wonderful and kind to us. Whether it was Sar/ the cashier's office/ the cafe workers/ Gail at the front window/ Speech (Jess was amazing)/ PT (Lincoln worked so hard with my husband)/security (who helped me when I had car issues too!), everyone really was like family and so helpful. I am so sorry if I left anyone out. When we made the difficult choice to start hospice, Karen at Serenity was wonderful. When Lincoln was at the end of his life, everyone checked on my family and I as they were so caring and compassionate. You will all always have a special place in my heart. I will visit again. My heart is broken for Lincoln’s passing, but I will anyways have my wonderful memories of Lincoln and the Veterans Home. My family and I thank you all for helping us through this journey!

My husband Lincoln has been a resident since June 2022 at the Veterans Memorial nursing Home. It Is a wonderful facility. Dr. Kaylen is wonderful and all the nurses and aides in the Liberty Unit are wonderful . All of the staff at the facility is compassionate, friendly and caring. The recreation and physical therapy department and dinning-room staff and front desk are also wonderful. My husband is very well taken care of. We are all like a family. Myself and my family are very grateful! . We wish Lincoln was home but he doesn’t walk or talk anymore. Either Myself or my daughters visit him every day♥️ We are very grateful to everyone at the nursing home. Thank you all so much . We are Forever grateful, Theresa, Lincoln and family.

My father had wonderful care ! He was often a difficult patient, the nurses were always professional and very nice to him . They had many activities residents can be as busy or as quiet as they would like to be. I recommend visiting often so the nurses know you .

I came from the VA nursing home for 7 months before coming here and this is like the Hilton compared to where I came from. Yes they are short staffed but so are many private places. The nurses have approximately 3 to 4 times the patient load than the VA nurses do. The place is immaculate and the food is great. The only thing that I don't appreciate is when they speak in different languages which is not allowed in this facility. I have to remind staff that my room mates oxygen tank needs to be refilled with water. Sure some staff aren't as attentive as they should be but this staff can be over whelmed by the patient load. Some just don't care and should be replaced. I heard horror stories from others who had come from other places. I love it here and recreation is outstanding & I love it here.
