My Mom has been in the memory care unit since November. The nurses and aids are all nice. Dogs are allowed as long as you have a list from the vet showing they are up to date on their vaccines.

As an elder law attorney and daughter, I can’t say enough positive things about the care that my mother received at St. Barnabas skilled nursing. The staff were kind and caring and the physical therapy was great!

Please don’t place your elderly parents in this place. My family had a horrible experience with our dad in this home. He was sad and scared. They left him in dark rooms and were negligent to his needs. He has in soiled diapers. He asked for help and wouldn’t get it. We witnessed it and we’re working to get him out of there. He was there for a short period of time and unfortunately at the end of his life. I documented everything and shared with an executive that seemed to care. But it was proven to be an act by his actions. He promised to follow up on our complaints and have his director call us. She never called. I called the executive again and he stated there was a staff turnaround and someone would call. No call again. They don’t care about their patients…our loved ones. I tried to give them chances to respond, but they simply did not care to. Save yourself from the horrible guilt you’d feel if you placed your loved ones here. They don’t care. The staff will ignore them and treat them as if they have no feelings. It is gut wrenching.

Some of the nicest staff on the planet. They treat the residents as if they were their own relatives. The kitchen constantly delivers some of the best food in the area, let alone for a nursing home. You can visit your relatives and eat for a heavily discounted rate yourself, and it’s definitely worth it.<br><br>Also worth noting I found the whole facility to be very clean, from the residents rooms to the bathrooms and hallways. All were spotless.
