If you DO NOT care about your "loved one", then this is the place you have been looking for... I had only minutes to choose a rehab for my dad and when I saw the Manheim address, I knew that my grandmother had stayed there years before. Sadly, the quality of the place isn't the same. And the rehabilitation is lacking. My 85 year old father is ambulatory and walks with a walker. The recent ER visit he had, landed him in ICU for 3 days, then an additional week in a different part of the hospital. I wanted rehab for him because laying in a bed for 10 days weakens the muscles, regardless of age. While he was at South Jersey Extended Care, the therapy that he was supposed to recieve to help strengthen his legs was virtually nonexistent. One staff member told me that they thought he was bedridden, because that's what they were told. They were using a hoyer lift for transfers in and out of bed and a wheelchair for mobilization, in spite of me dropping off his walker. After a week of even more regression, I pulled my dad out. Bayada home care can take over. I also found that there was a lot of finger pointing and no one would take responsibility for other minor issues. Very unprofessional!

I was notified by a staff nurse that my Sister suffered a fall on Sunday evening. I asked if she was going to be sent to the emergency room for an evaluation or x-ray. I was told by the nurse that someone would come to the facility and do an x-ray on Monday. Later that day they called me to tell me that they think there was a slight fracture on her left hip. So now they decided to send her to the ER. Her left hip was fractured. She was admitted to the hospital. Since there was a delay in care she had to be placed on an on call waiting list for the surgery. The surgery wasn’t done until Tuesday so basically she suffered from Sunday up until she was admitted into the hospital. I am a nurse and I work in the Emergency Room. Needless to say this situation was poorly handled!

This place needs negative Stars!!! I assume Cassidy is there a spokesperson, I will refer to her as sunshine and rainbows! Because that's how it was presented to me. All well and good, if the facility was taken over but after a year some improvement needs to be done!!! Especially the mold-infested air condition units and the filthy heater units!!! I literally thought I was walking into Bates Motel!!! They are understaffed and not equipped dementia nor diabetic patients! My mom is supposed to be on a cardiac diet, they gave her salt on her tray, unacceptable!!! She was hospitalized for edema 2 days into her rehab stay she was back to square one when I took her to the hospital!!! My blood pressure went through the roof!!! The staff was notified of her diet along with her legs not to be dangling! Everyday that I came in her legs were hanging she was sitting in a wheelchair! If I knew this I would have never sent her there!!! I just needed a break from running to the hospital everyday and still didn't get a break this was a nightmare!!! So I hope this review helps please do not send your loved one or your animals here I wouldn't trust them! There were two nurses there that were very nice and very kind I'm sorry that they have to work in those conditions!

I’ve been a resident at this facility for the past seven months while working on my rehab. The staff, nurses and CNAs are hands down one of the best. They are attentive, compassionate and motivating. When I was at my lowest, they listened to me and encouraged me that I can conquer the difficulties I was experiencing. That’s not to say there isn’t room for improvement — the exterior and interior of the facility could use some investments, but that’s not a priority. It’s hard to be away from family, feeling down and hard on oneself. In those moments you truly see how hard the nurses and aides are work to give you excellent care. I would not have made the progress I have were it not for this stellar team. Thank you for caring. Thank you for helping me get better.
