Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care & Rehab New Hyde Park, New York 11040

It is not right that Parker remains open. This is the worst place that anyone can send a loved one. The state is totally aware of their problems but they do nothing and the state health department helps Parker cover up all the bad stuff . For example if you report mistreatment of a patient , The health department doesn't count that statistic - instead they only count if they themselves on their once annual visit see with their eyes an abuse of a patient. How ridiculous . Parker does bother to give the patients any of their previsikus prescribed medicine, and they dont two or crucial care information . If you try and give it to them they will NOT allow it. This place is operated by pure evil. The devil himself has more

Compassion than these phonies.

I cannot imagine a caring place has this much ignoring to the poor helpless people who stay this place for help. No one cares this place, when poor patients call for help none of them their for help, if you complaint the management all turn as team and will kick you out from with before the patients is able to walk or get up from the bed. The therapist would make false assessment and would say to you insurance would not pay any more, and take the patient to home. Definetly the families and communities join together and fight for this hell place and should complaint to the heal dept, and NY state. If you ask for help the nurses or CNA would say they do not have enough people, every 15-20 people they have only one person. They are taking from insurance around $1,000/person from insurance company and no help at all, so sad, it is money making place. State has to do something for this place, theay should interview the patients and families for how much care they are getting.

My father was in Parkers for two weeks before he was sent to LIJ hospital where he passed away. My family was told that this was an excellent place. It was not! The staff was not caring, not interested & very hard to even find on the floor. They got the patients up in the morning, put them in their wheel chairs & left them there the whole day. No one was around to help them eat, the food was put in front of them & no help. We saw a man fall out of his wheel chair in the cluttered hallway & the staff looked at him & turned away. They said they would have to wait for someone to help them back up!!! When my family had questions no one could answer them, that was the rare times you could find someone to ask! I feel if my father had gone some where else where he got the care that he deserved, he would still be alive today. Please check everything you can before you put your loved one in a home. My family was there every single day & the care was the worse, imagine if someone is there with out people watching!

My father was there several months for rehab after colon surgery. I called the social worker and nurse asking that they teach my father how to care for his colostomy bag and set up services for in home care when he got discharged. I live out of state and came to NY to pick him up when he got discharged. There were no services set up for him and the discharge paperwork stated no services were needed. He still did not know how to care for his bag. He said the nurses were impatient with him and didn't bother to teach him and each one had a different technique. He also had an infection that started when he was there and required that I take him to an infectious disease specialist because it was not responding to antibiotics. When I took him to his surgeon for a follow up visit, the surgeon's assistant was able to set up in home care for him immediately which included a nurse to teach him how to manage his bag, a home health aide, and continued physical therapy. Clearly he was eligible and needed the services. They just didn't do their job and submit a simple request. They are negligent for discharging him with no services and not knowing how to care for his condition.

This is the most horrible place for anyone to be in!!!! They are so understaffed, and the most miserable nurses on staff. You can ring the bell for help and have to wait!! Disguising!! If a patient needs assistance, under no circumstances should they be told to do it themselves! If they could do it themselves they wouldn't be there in the first place. Now the place is infected with - The Flu, The Stomach Virus, and Pink Eye!! They are under construction to boot!!! These poor patients that are there, my heart breaks for them

Avoid at all costs. While under their care for 20 days, my father had a stroke. Service was terrible. Many patients were complaining about ringing the bedside buzzer and nobody responding. I escalated medical issues to the assistant chief of medicine and he didn't return calls twice. That department's admin assistant then escalated the issue to the chief of medicine, and he didn't return my call either. The most efficient part of the organization is the billing department, sending the bills out on time. Go somewhere else.

Should be no stars. Horrible, horrible, horrible. You are so misled by the beautiful lobby into thinking this must be a good facility for your loved one in need, but the care is terrible. My mom had a trache and had to stay here while undergoing chemo treatment and the care was appalling. You complain to management and they say all the things they think you want to hear and nothing changes. My mom wound up in intensive care due to their neglect and all she kept saying to me was "no more Parker House - please don't send me back there" and we didn't

I hate the fact that I had to give any star for this place. It makes me sick to give even that much. Do NOT send your loved one to this facility. If you love them, you will avoid this place because my grandmother exited this place worse than when she went in. Specifically, she was mobile coming in and became permenantly disabled due to negligence when she left. It had a devestating toll on the rest of our family. I repeat - please do NOT send your loved one to this insititution.

In a word awful!

My parent was there for a year and in the hospital three times, because aides go from patient to patient without washing their hands and cause infections to spread.

If someone has to use the toilet the wait can be as long as 45 minutes. Some of the aides do care, but there are aren't enough of them. Alot of the aides treat it as a paycheck with no caring involved. The late shift is minimal and if a patient makes noise or needs something they might as well wait until the next shift or they are spoken to nastily. I am glad that I was able to transfer my parent out and would not reccomend this place to anyone.

Family member stayed for a week & was like Hell! The staff look miserable like the patients. Patient was dragged from bed to do pt regardless of patient's refusal. The patient peed in the wheelchair after yelling, & nobody came for help for 30 minutes. What a horrible experience for someone already in pain! No TLC for sure.

We transferred patient out after a week.

Mom went into Parker on her insistence as my Dad had been there 6 years ago and had excellent care. This current experience was a nightmare. They are so under staffed one nurse and one CA for 16 - 20 patients. If one CA is giving a shower to a patient, no one can be assisted off the toilet. Mom went in with one problem having to rehab her walking. Came out with 2 - 4 different problems including an infection that requires long term IV antibiotics. Most of the staff could care less about the patients. The doctors were sub par telling you one thing and then forgetting to issue the orders when they left the room. The one bright spot is the physical therapy. But if this is one of your choices run in the opposite direction and don't look back.

Short staff. Not informative enough even some staff are trying. Nurses aren't on top of their toes:(

It has the physical resources to be great, but in our family's experience the staff attitudes and quality of care were consistently abysmal. No respect or empathy for the patient. Very inefficient in the main hospital. They kept my mother on a catheter far too long and it was unnecessary. They tested her blood sugar daily because they refused to acknowledge our information that she wasn't diabetic. I could go on, but look elsewhere for care.

This place is terrible. The staff abuses patients and it takes the department of health to get them to stop hiring staff with history of patient abuse.

Not so great! My Dad was sent home, not with one, but 2 infections, one of which he needs to be isolated for and we have to wear proper gear to protect ourselves from. What about in the Rehab? That wasn't done. By the way he went into the Hospital within 24 hours of leaving the Rehab, dehydrated, from so much diaharrea.
