Both my mother and husband were in Parker at Somerset sub-acute at the same time. My mother for 1 month , my husband 2 weeks. My mother has had previous experiences with sub- acutes and when we knew she needed to go to sub-acute rehab following her hospital stay she expressed not to go to back to any of them and I felt the same. We were very fortunate that both my mom and husband were accepted to Parker at Somerset. My mom was admitted a few days before my husband. From the moment I entered their main entrance I was greeted warmly by their receptionist and the same followed with the entire staff including Administration, nurses, doctors, PA’s, PT, OT, ST, Social Workers, and most importantly the caring, compassionate, so very kind and thoughtful Aids. Aids are such an integral part of a persons’ recovery. When I requested to speak with a team member I always received a call back or a visit to my family members room while I was visiting within a reasonable amount of time. My husband has returned home. My mother transitioned to their Long Term Care. Without reservation I highly recommend Parker at Somerset for both Sub-Acute and Long Term Care.

How should I start? Well, here goes...two years ago, my mother was admitted into Parker. She was in the most worst condition of her life diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. My family and my life was upended. The moment we arrived late at night being transferred from Robert Wood Johnson Hospital, we were greeted by friendly staff members. I would not know how things would proceed from here, but we heard great things about Parker. It was supposedly the #1 destination for rehab in the area. Every little bit of kindness does wonders for families and their loved ones that are battling disease or in my mother's case cancer. They had positive Christmas parties with happy people spreading joy with their singing. They had receptive front desk staff. They had wonderful nurses male and female. Patients were respectful to each other. There was a positive atmosphere that radiated throughout Parkers facility everyday that my mom was in attendance there. Karaoke was especially uplifting to my mother. Christmas at Parker went best as it could for my family. It was the first time we celebrated Christmas in a rehab room and staff that worked on Christmas Day to accommodate all the sick patients and their families, they did their jobs like it was any other day. We actually ordered a lot of food and pizza and the room was a mess, but the staff there never complained and just cleaned it up. I apologize if my review is long overdue, or it is just too long but I my mother is still fighting the beast that is cancer and I needed to write this review to Parker Rehab and its staff because I completely forgotten to through this trying journey with my mother and family the last two years. Parker obviously has good management and train their employees very well.

The place is modern like a hotel and very clean. The staff is shorthanded and my aunt sometimes waits for toilet help and ends up soiling her diaper because it took too long. Updates are not often. Her facility before gave us weekly and emailed us information without us having to ask. She doesn't remember or understand sometimes, so we rely on information. The place is nice, but could use more staff and more ways to find out status of residents consistent.

My grandmother experienced three strokes within the span of a month, leading to six hospital visits and time spent in four different rehabilitation facilities across New Jersey. Out of all the subacute rehab centers she stayed in, I can confidently say that Parker stood out as the best by a wide margin. The nursing staff was exceptional, and the staff to patient ratio truly made a difference. Whenever we used the call button, someone responded promptly. If they were assisting another patient and anticipated a short delay, they would still take a moment to check in and let us know they would be there shortly. That level of communication and attentiveness meant a lot. The team consistently showed patience and went out of their way to provide one-on-one care whenever possible. After her stroke, my grandmother lost much of the ability to use her left hand, and the staff made sure she was fully supported during meals. When family members could not be there, an aide would take the time to help feed her, something we did not experience at other facilities, where trays were often left untouched and then simply taken away. At Parker, she was never overlooked in that way. On more difficult nights, the staff allowed me and other family members to stay with her past visiting hours until she was settled and asleep. Small gestures like that created a sense of comfort and made the environment feel far more personal and compassionate. I especially want to recognize Tiaisha, who went above and beyond to make my grandmother feel safe and cared for when we were not there. Her kindness and dedication truly made a lasting impact on my grandmother and on our family. I am also incredibly grateful to both Nicoles, Nicole in Admissions and Nicole in Social Work, who made a stressful process feel a little more manageable. Nicole in Admissions, in particular, played a crucial role in helping me transition my grandmother out of a previous facility where she was not receiving the care she needed, and I cannot overstate how much that meant. Beyond the care itself, Parker offers a modern, clean, and welcoming environment. The outdoor spaces provide a refreshing change of scenery for patients on nice days, and the community feels lively with regular activities and events. And of course, we cannot forget Luna, Parker’s beloved guinea pig mascot, who brought moments of joy and helped encourage my grandmother to get out of her room. Overall, the entire staff at Parker was outstanding. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone seeking compassionate, attentive rehabilitation care for a loved one recovering from a life-altering medical event.

Parker At Somerset, Adult Day Care Program, is full of exceptional staff members. From the Director all of the way to the bus driver. They just don’t go to work…they do it, every day, with dedication, compassion, understanding clients need and supporting their family members ! They know how challenging is to make, someone living with dementia, comfortable and safe and they do it ! My family member was, always, welcomed by a charming staff member, morning after morning. They were an amazing resource to all of us! Unfortunately, my family member, needed to move on to a nursing home. But, we, for ever, will be grateful to have them in our lives ! Thank you!
