User Reviews » Merwick Care & Rehabilitation Center

I had written a negative report sometime ago. It has been hidden. If I recall correctly, so have otrher negative reports. It seems that the owners of this for profit have been frustrated by these reports and have been able to filter negative… Full Review

The worst rehab center I have ever seen. My mom has been in a few rehab centers in the state. And merwick by far has to be ONE OF THE WORST!!! Even after complaing to the people in charge of certain deptarments there, the same things kept on… Full Review

Someone needs to close this place! Very poor care and services. SSimply stated; donot come here! Full Review

HORRIBLE!!! The Administration is horrific. They don't care about the patients and are nasty. Doing anything, including their jobs, is a nuisance to them. The nurses sit around, ignore patients and alarms. The food is not edible. The facility… Full Review

Grossly understaffed for competent certified nursing care, especially on weekends-Weekends are gruesome there! - health aids are nice, but again have too many patients - patient required equipment NOT maintained or serviced - Since floors are… Full Review

Poor care, delay in getting help. Not enough staff. They tell you they are going to take care of problems and it never happens, Would not recommend anyone to this facility.… Full Review

Finally, the owners of Merwick have gotten what they deserve. A 1 star rating dump! In your ignorance of the business, your arrogance, and in your complete lack of concern for the staff .........you earned it! Think of what you had when… Full Review

This is the first time that I have ever been compelled to submit a review on an organization, but this is also the first time I have ever been so disgusted with an organization. Merwick is a poorly managed/run organization. The various departments… Full Review

bad ; very bad stay away "family ownerd" business that no family would like to have provided to teir loved ones Full Review

Excellent establishment, I have visited multiple times and have had a few family members, excellent food, fantastic care. Full Review

If you love your family member do not leave them in this facility unattended. This facility belongs in the "HALL OF SHAME" of nursing homes. I don't believe the people who gave this facility 5 stars, I think the owners must sit up at… Full Review

I went to this new incarnation of the center that was demolished in Princeton with high expectations after a complete left knee replacement. I had used another facility ten months earlier when my right knee was replaced, so I had a fair idea… Full Review

Disorganized and very mediocre at best...rehab is offered once a day whereas in other rehab centers such as Burke, rehab is three times each day...the new facility is very disappointing and seems to be lacking in planning for people with… Full Review

STAY AWAY. Unfortunately, my grandmother has to be in this awful facility. During her stay here the staff has been awful--as a matter of fact, her hip has popped out twice SINCE BEING HERE because the staff does not take care and precaution… Full Review

My father entered this facility the end of March in sub acute care and supposed to move over to LT Care. There is an abundance of turnover of aides and staff which quantifies why there is not enough caring and qualified staff to take care… Full Review

I get feedback from the staff and managers all the time. Read the posts below and beware. Full Review

This one star reviews the food and cleanliness of the facility. My mother was a patient over a year ago and my father just recently. In the year in between the kitchen staff and the quality of the food has really deteriorated. One evening my… Full Review

I was in Merwick December 10-18 and it was terrible!! The food was bad and half the time they never got your order right or they ran out of it and substituted things instead. this was not just occasionally, it happened alot. There were not… Full Review

Every time I visit my dad, the room is disgusting. There is no one around to even talk to about it. The floor is filthy. He is almost 90 and is treated poorly. He has a catheter in for no reason whatsoever. With my telephone call last night… Full Review

food is terrible. be careful the sanitation and cleanliness of the food. poor facility. Full Review

eficient food -- watched the staff take food off trays to eat -- Full Review

The PT's were excellent, but the general management of the place was terrible. The room and bathroom were not kept clean, common areas were dirty, equipment that broke took a long time to repair, food was unhealthy and unappealing, etc.… Full Review

The Rehab PTs are excellent; They are very focused Full Review

Mother was sent there for rehabilitation after major surgery. Physical therapy and care was top notch. Although she was hospitalized twice while in rehab it was not due to anything done or not done on Merwick's part. Was so pleased with… Full Review

Best of the best !!! Physical therapy team outstanding... Full Review

After very serious surgery, I was anxious about what facility my mother would do rehab in, I looked at several, and chose Merwick. I cant tell you how happy I am with this decision. Finally after more than a month, she is going home on Wednesday… Full Review

On the whole I’m pleased with the care my mother has received at Merwick. When her arm got hurt, the administration, doctor and nursing staff went out of their way to rectify the problems. Although a little reluctant after her injury, I put… Full Review

My rehab stay there was excellent. I entered the facility with a trach and feeding tube. I was completely dependant on the staff for the first few weeks. I left the facility completely independant. The nursing staff are caring and compassionate… Full Review

My mom has been in the rehab after being hospitalized with mrsa and severe bladder infections, this place didnt check her once for an infection even after noticing she had become much weaker during rehab. I had to come up here and demand she… Full Review

There was the old merwick I recall as a pillar of the Princeton community.My neigbors always raved about the great people and care there. In a matter of months the new owners have arrogantly destroyed all that was and replaced it with lies… Full Review

How can you look into the eyes of the lord and give sixty patients to two nurses. I hope that those of you in power when your old age comes you rot in the nursing home. Ass holes!!!… Full Review

Please be careful when reading these reviews. Most of the 5 out of 5 stars and fudge stories were done by the new admin that told employees to put in a good word. The nursing care staff is awesome which is the only thing that is good about… Full Review

Terrible for long term nursing care. From the beginning we felt as if the staff did not give a d*** about m other in law. The admissions staff was rarely available to discuss specifics, they had no advice AT ALL about how to help handle the… Full Review

The Merwick nursing staff is amazing but they are horribly understaffed. The nurses are constantly on their feet running from room to room. I asked one nurse how many patients she had that night and she told me 16! They need to have more… Full Review

GOOD place to be. Need more admin staff to follow processes . New admin is all about money and nothing else:) Full Review

Its seems that Merwick is under staffed and the administration is more concerned about money then care. The food was not what I ordered and took time plus effort for me to get what I wanted to eat. The nurses are nice , except of a few nurses… Full Review

below average care Full Review

The physical therapy and nursing care were excellent. At times the communication between shifts was poor but they were always determined to fix the missing pieces. The food was inedible. My father lost 17 pound during his 3 week stay.. this… Full Review

my mother discharge from merwick rehab floor wonderful nursing team including manager and administrator.recommend people for theraphy ,fooooood?????????… Full Review

The nurses are excellent in Merwick although upper management needs improvement. Managers are rarely on the unit and patients are told they are in meetings. To run a successful "business", management needs to be present and working. Too many… Full Review

my mom was recently at merwick and all the staff was superb..special shout out to liz and levie...thank you for all kindness and care..how anyone can say the staff is not friendly is crazy..everyone always had a kind word //there may be a problem… Full Review

My mother was at Merwick . Seems staff were trying but were very frustrated with trying to give good care while management just shot them down. Agree that the peson doing the interviews was scarry. Pick somewhere else!… Full Review

What a shame: Great looking on inside...very poor care. Staff not frendly and has feel of hospital. Administrator is aloof. Wose they have this markeing person doing "interviews" where theb goal is to sauy confirm everything uis ok. It is not… Full Review

Bottom line, Merwick still has a long way to go to dispel the feel of a facility still in training. Our loved one received erratic care from an understaffed facility. On one hand, we were told that our loved one needed to drink more fluids… Full Review
