Alaris Health at Cedar Grove Cedar Grove, New Jersey 07009

Elderly parent admitted to Alaris as a last resort. The hospital Social Worker & Alaris Social Worker both insisted it was a new facility. I was skeptical. If this place is where I think it is; then, it is not new. It is & I called them out on it too. This place changed hands at least 3 times over the past 15 years.

The care was absolutely unacceptable as usual. As others stated, do not consider this place. If, you have Medicare Advantage; then, you will be relegated to inferior nursing facilities. I am probably not allowed to recommend preferable nursing facilities.

This was my second time at this facility. which is warmly and professionally decorated; very large rooms with a large sofa and love seat to accomondate your guest. I received EXCELLENT treatment! The Nursing staff were very PROFESSIONAL and FRIENDLY, as well the Aides and very attentative to all my needs. The Therapy Dept. had me up and moving. They are very dedicated to their profession and gave warm encourgagement of a "you can do this" attitude. There is a Beautiful large garden where you can go out and relax; watch the Silver Blue Birds, Red Robins along with a large 5' rock water fall which flows into a bed of all types of beautiful fish. There are all types of religious services and many activities guided by the Activities Director. You are never bored or along during your recovery, the aides are always stopping by to check on you which I really appreciated the attention.

I recommend this facility highly and give it a 5 star rating.

Alaris is a credible institution. The medical staff performed their duties well. The aides also. Therapists knew what they were doing. They all did a fine job. They all cared about their jobs. I think that th

This is by far the worst facility that I have ever seen. My loved one is getting substandard care. The facility is understaffed and the majority of the staff are downright rude and unhelpful. Our family is disgusted with our experience here. Not to mention, the patients are underfed cold inedible food.

This place is horrible.My mother is 92 and needs help getting to and from the bathroom. She was left alone in the bathroom for 50 min one morning. The bed sheets were thrown on the bathroom floor for 8 hours. To wash her they wet one end of a towel and used the other end to dry her, no soap. On 12/7 her dinner came with a tuna sandwich dated for the 12/3. When they dressed her, her pants were all twisted and her bra was twisted and turned inside out on the one side. In the middle of the night the aids yell to each other from one end of the hall to the other. These kinds of things happened every day. I informed the staff but nothing was done. I called the administrator but she never called me back. I pulled my mother out of there.

One of the worst facilities. My grandmother was admitted after her surgery.. worst nurses I have every seen. And aid's were just inhumane.. first day there and I saw how horrible they are not just to my grandmother but other people in the facility as well. The aid was treating her so badly I couldn't believe and that was when I was there imagine what they do when I was not around. This is the worst place. You call them and they don't show up for hours and no one cares the nurses are there the aid's are there but no one wants to come to clean up, give medicine or help and on top of that they are roud, and they yell at patients. Totally totally horrible I should have gone with the reviews but I said how bad can it be. But honestly they r worst than the reviews. Beware honestly beware

My mother was recently admitted to Alaris at Cedar Grove for short term rehabilitation. I was very dissatisfied with the overall care of this center. The nurses were understaffed, and there seemed to be a very big turnover. They were not knowledgeable in many of the areas in the care my mother needed. The place was very dirty and the food was horrible. The aids did not come when my mother needed help in the middle of the night. Please do not send any of your family to this place. It was a horrible and a very sad ending for my mother.

If it was possible to put a half of one star up here then I would or no stars at all. Besides the place looking clean and tighty thats all its good for, you are not a 5 star facility and everyone that work there knows it more like 1 and a half

This Home is beautiful and that's about it. My dad was admitted at the end of October 2014 with Alzheimer's. He passed away February 14, 2015. No one in this home cares about the patients. The social worker, Alice Foresight constantly blamed him for getting hurt. He was agitated she would always say. They wanted him on his wheelchair all day. Of course, he was restless. While there, he had many bruises and a black eye. Once, I found him burning in fever. The aide said he was sleeping so she didn't want to wake him! He was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. If you care about your loved one, run far away from this evil place.

This place appears very nice.. until the pernicibyous neglwct that.they perpetrate on your elderly sick relatives puts them on death's door. Medicare and Medical Board of Examiners complaints pending. Run, don't walk.

I will recommend this facility to anyone needing rehabilitation and nursing care. My doctor recommended Alaris Health at West Orange and now I see why. The accommodation is great, it's very clean, and staff izs very friendly and helpful. The Administrator and Social Worker are very nice professional; they go out of their way to assist me. My nurses Amy and Maggie are excellent.

My mother was sent here for rehab after surgury to assist with her mobility. It has been a horrible experience for my mother and our family. The staff, primarily the the nurses assistants are disorganized,disrespecful, bad mannered and uncaring. My mother was so miserable because the nurses assistants either ignored her or forgot to come back when she called, spoke rudely to her when she asked them questions and was generally not interested in doing their job in a professional manner. They need training in communication skills and professionalism. I would not reccommend this place for short or long term care. Don't let the beautiful appearance fool you, it can get ugly when you dig deeper.

DO NOT send your loved one here! My grandfather went here for rehab after he broke his hip. He had gotten a pretty bad cut on his leg from the wheelchair. The aid barely cleaned it and slapped a band-aid on it. Blood got all over the wheelchair and I was told that it would be cleaned. The next day I go to visit him, there is still blood all over the wheel chair and his cut is exposed (no dressing over it). He was later transferred to the hospital because he developed a very serious blood infection. PLEASE keep your loved ones out of here!!!! Aids are so rude and barely do anything!!!!!

My mothers recent stay at Alaris west Orange far exceeded my expectation. The social worker coordinated all discharging planning and what made this challenging was the fact that we were relocating mom out of state. The amount of time she devoted to mom and our entire family made us feel we were the only family in the building. When talking with other residents and family members they felt the same. The caring and compassion we were shown by the social worker will never be forgotten. The entire nursing staff from the director of nursing to the cnas went above and beyond each and every day. The moment i entered the building i was given a detailed update on moms progress. The continuity of care helped my mom progress as well and as quickly as she did. I highly recommend Alaris to anyone who is in need of Rehab or long term care

Couldn't get my mother discharged from this place. Contacted social worker many times but never received call back until she had no more days left to stay there. Scam artists.

Gates Manor Montclair, New Jersey 07042

Very disappointed with some of the staff there. They speak English with such a heavy accent that when my aunt couldn't understand them, they just shouted at her. Also, the admitting nurse was the only one on the floor. She was new and didn't know what to do. Also, she sneezed on my aunt while admitting her. It doesn't seem like a well-staffed or professional place. When I spoke to the owner, Gary about it the next day, he turned it around on me being demanding and particular. My aunt also doesn't like the food, she says it's salty. The place smells like pee.

I can understand that people have different experiences but my mother LOVED the staff at St. Cloud. They were always attentive to her needs and handled her with care. Linda at the front desk knew my brothers and sisters all by name ( I think she knows everyone who has ever walked in the door by name!!) and always made us feel at home. We were encouraged to take a tour of all the places on our list beforehand and I think this helped a lot with our decision. You should do the same.

This nursing home needs a lot of improvement. Some of the nurses and their manager acts very impotent as if they don't know how to do their job. It's embarrassing.I think a contributing factor is that they're under staffed. Some of staff are loud and have no consideration for the patients,speaking loudly even in different languages and topics that should be spoken privately. Some are not very friendly. The food service can be better.I will give fairness where it's due.They do have a good therapy environment, and the physical and occupational therapists are nice.
