I chose Preferred Care at Old Bridge for my father after reading the reviews and seeing that the facility was also on Robert Wood Johnson’s preferred list. Another important factor in my decision was that my father was able to have his own private room. My father has been at the facility for about a month. He is fairly independent, so his main needs have been physical therapy, rehabilitation, and wound care. The facility also transports him to his appointments and makes sure he receives the necessary follow-up care. When I call, the phone is answered, and I am able to speak with staff when necessary. Overall, my father’s experience has been positive. He has been treated with respect, is comfortable, and continues to receive the therapy and care he needs. Thank God, he is doing well and making progress. There are a few areas where I feel the facility could improve. Communication between staff and families could be more consistent. I also do not agree with patients routinely being bathed only twice a week and feel the bathing schedule should be improved. My father does not particularly enjoy the food, so I believe there could be improvements in the meal options as well. I also feel it is important to have more bilingual staff available to better communicate with and support Spanish-speaking patients. At this time, I do not have any major complaints regarding my father’s care. He is comfortable, being treated respectfully, and receiving the rehabilitation he needs. I appreciate the care he has received during his stay.

My grandmother went was sent to this “rehab” facility after a 2 week stay at the hospital. She had heart issues and was having issues with walking. She was sent there to build her strength and get her back home where our family was going to hire nurses to be with her when we couldn’t to ensure her safety. A short stay turned into months. 1-2 hours of physical therapy isn’t going to help anyone get stronger if the remainder of the day they’re in a wheelchair or their bed. Instead of getting stronger, my grandmother became weaker. She was miserable there and all of hearts ached for her. We were in the process of looking for an assisted living for her in the East Brunswick area, as that is where our family is from. My dad and uncle went to visit her on a Sunday and let the nurses know she was having issues with breathing and asked that they check in on her which they agreed to do. 5 hours passed before someone called 911 to rush my grandmother to the hospital. For 2 more weeks she laid in the ICU at a hospital with an oxygen mask and blood infection which we knew nothing of until she was in the care of the hospital, and it was something she had never had before. My grandmother passed away this past Sunday. The infection undoubtably came from Preferred Care. All nursing homes are the same. They’re not well kept but above all, they hire nurses who do not care about the patients they are watching over. I witnessed rudeness to other patients and even with me when I would request certain things for my grandmother. I wouldn’t send a cat to this place. There are a handful of people who seemed kind but I’m also not naïve and know that staff knows hows to present in front of families. Please, if you care about your family member do not allow them to go here. Ever. Shame on you all. I would like to add that the response every negative review gets along with the number you’re provided is bs, which I knew it was but this is disgusting. You all are the reason we had to have a funeral for my grandmother on Wednesday!!! My father has called this number and left voicemails and no one gets back to him. I will not stop until your doors are closed. My family will not stop. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

+ God surely has His Favor on this place. Highly recommend. Great Jewish executive staff. A lot of virtue overflows here. Great experience for the elderly. Any youth looking for healthcare jobs should grow with Preferred Care as a branch. Residents are lovely.

✝️❤️ God Bless Us, God Bless Our Families, and God Bless America. Father, thank You for the abundance. Father, We ask for more abundance through Christ, Our Lord, amen. The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace ✝️❤️ The Lord’s children run this facility. I have been treated with a lot of respect. Mosha and the Israelis here are very warm and kind people. The door lady is nice. The facility is marked out accordingly: drive through to enter is very easy and accessible right off Route 18. No massive potholes coming in (thank God) because I strongly dislike driving into a nursing home and being met with potholes and large thunks and thumps underneath me. So that’s 1 plus. 2nd plus is it’s very close by to a church (St. Thomas the Apostle). If your mother or dad or honestly any relative are staying here then the priest / Eucharistic Ministers can bring the Eucharist to the facility for each payment of a prayer in return for receiving the Holy Gift. The third plus is the dietitians and hiring manager have been treating me well. I have learned a lot during my time here. The transportations are the 4th plus. Very well timed and coordinated. There is a check in booth near the front door (electronic) it serves well for the hired servants and also for the guests who enjoy learning what it is. Huge dining hall and clean bathrooms are located as well. The maintenance team is very kind. The gentleman who cleans them regularly does a very good job. The open space is definitely a plus. There is a sidewalk that also goes around for walking patients who require open air and rejuvenation with nature. In the winter time it can be slippery. The team made sure it wasn’t with the large addition of salt after the huge snowstorm that we experienced earlier this year in 2026. This location is truly a flourishing location for patient care. The elderly seem to be grateful for the respect that we are giving God’s chosen people so I definitely love seeing patients happy and well fed. If I would include one piece of advice then it is to please schedule your meetings and visits ahead of time. Spontaneous show ups are not a bad issue, it’s just that our team here would love to help prepare more goodness ahead of time so that we can serve you to the best way possible. Enjoy your time here for however long and short you decide to stay and make sure to always know that we are pleased and blessed to be able to serve you and your families. ✝️❤️

My mom has been in Preferred Care for Sub-Acute Rehab. She has had an excellent experience. The staff are amazing. So kind and caring. They keep eyes on patients to ensure they are safe and get the care that they need. The facility also has areas where patients can come together and have fun playing games, watching TV, and attending parties where fantastic people perform for them bringing joy and happiness. She was even given manicures. It is the best Sub-Acute Facility she has been in. I would highly recommend them.
