Review of Care One at East Brunswick

1 Star User Review

The worst place ever. The first thing you notice is how filthy this place is. My father in law was in this dump and was miserable from the first day. The smell of urine hits you as soon as you walk in. The staff is the most uncaring, ignorant and arrogant I have ever seen. The head nurse was standing around while patient buzzers were ringing non-stop. My Father-in-law said he had to use the bathroom very badly and rang his bell. After waiting for 30 minutes he finally pulled himself into his wheelchair and went alone. This is not safe at all. When we approached the head nurse she had a nasty attitude and said my father in-law was lying about waiting so long. While she was lying about everything that came out of her mouth the patient bells rang for over 15 minutes without anyone showing a sense of any urgency at all. When the orderly came in while we were there he had an angry look on his face as if we were a bother. He helped my father in law and washed him up and to our disgust he didn't even wash his hands. My father in law asked for a drink of water and the orderly with his bad attitude took his dirty used cup with his unwashed hands and dipped the dirty cup with his unwashed hands into the ice bin (totally unsanitary) and brought him a cup of water.

Also while we were discussing the extra long wait after my father in law rang the bell. The head nurse accused him of lying and just at that moment a nurse walked up in disgust and told the head nurse that she needed help because she was caring for a patient and three other patient bells were ringing and another family was helping their father into the bathroom because he couldn't wait any longer. That showed that the head nurse was the real liar, not my father in law. At that moment she shut the bell off that had been buzzing for over 15 minutes and within a few seconds it started to ring again. She shut it off and it almost immediately started to ring again, and then it happened again. She was obviously trying to prevent us from seeing how long it really took to attend to the patients. What if someone was ringing the bell due to chest pains? They'd probably die waiting for the barely literate, broken English speaking, obviously low paid, uncaring, rude staff to come find them dead. This place is a health hazard and nobody should ever be admitted here. This morning my 80 yr old father in law was left alone in the shower and fell. Left alone at 80 yrs old. If you want your loved ones to survive take them somewhere other than this God forsaken hell hole.
