My husband was very handicapped. He could not walk, talk or do anything for himself. He has been ill for a long time and I could no longer care for him at home. Reformed Church Home was wonderful. The facility is extremely clean. His room had a beautiful window with a wonderful view. My husband was always clean and cared for no matter what time of day or night I arrived. The food was presented beautifully and he ate with enthusiasm. The staff is incredible!!! He was so well cared for. Often, I was there an entire day and evening but whatever time I arrived, things were done well! Thank you all for making his final months more manageable for both of us.

Title: "Uncaring, Unkind" Over the past several years that my mother-in-law has been in long-term care at RCH, the care for her has become sorely lacking. It has gotten to the point that those “caregivers” do not seem to know how to be kind – whether it is to the residents or to their family members. I have not seen a single smile from some of them. When family members make a request that we think would be helpful to my mother-in-law, we are treated as if we have no right to make such a request. The main result appears to be that they drag their feet even in doing the minimum. I cannot say how disappointed we are with the lack of real “care” at this point! Their top priority seems to be: Do not change the routine. Having said all of that, there are those who are helpful and who show kindness, even if they are not the ones most involved with my mother-in-law. It is for the sakes of those kind people that I give the rating of 2, rather than 1. Overall, I would NOT recommend long-term care at RCH at this time – until some of the “attitudes” are removed.

My husband was transferred from Robert Wood Johnson on 8/19 and released on 12/3. I was so impressed by the service, care, therapy from everyone from nurses to pa to aides and therapist. The facility is one of the best I have ever seen. It's clean, the rooms are beautiful and the activities are incredible. The volunteers are the best. Caring, loving and always remembering the patients names. Even though I brought food from home, my husband was happy with what was prepared . In the beginning he was not eating much, so I can attest to the quality since I would eat his leftovers. During his stay he had to go back to the hospital three times due to complications. On his return we both felt as if we had come home. The speech therapist had so much patience with him and the physical therapists who he saw twice a day were great. The nurses were all great, in particular I must praise Dawn (on third floor) She treated us as if we were family. Before being released, Michelle in social services helped with all the necessary equipment from hospital bed, wheel chair and transportation to come home. I know from experience with my mother there is no easy way to deal with family in nursing home, but this one ca make your life easier to deal with, by showing caring attention. The aides, in particular Alicia, Rosette, Nikki , Vicki who treated me like their mother and my husband like their father. Reassuring us from the first day that things would get better and thank God they did. I am grateful my husband is home and the months he spent in there helped me to learn how to cope with him and appreciate what we now have. Thank you to everyone at Reformed Church and if I have neglected to mention anyone, please know you're not forgotten and you are in my prayers for what you have done for us to survive this difficult period in our life.

Upon admittance, no one went over the medications which one would normally expect for an intake. My wife started to have seizures. Come to find out they had her on a lower dose of medication. There were a couple of other issues with meds while there, so be sure someone keeps tabs on the meds given and how they are given. The food was basically good, however there were exceptions at times. Often the food was cold by the time the patient got it. Prior to going there we took a tour. We asked if they could handle Gluten free and the response was a positive. While there, it became obvious that they could not deal with a gluten free patient; you either ate what came on the menu or you basically went without. It is important it seems to watch what they do very carefully. The house doctor thought the patient needed to wear stockings for swelling of the legs. Never mind the stockings would go over a surgical leg/knee area causing extreme pain. The surgeon was not consulted to find out if this would be a issue. Also the PT folks put weights on a let that was none weight bearing. This surgeon was for a knee replacement revision. Bones in the area were very fragile with plates and screws. The surgeon was not consulted. What they did caused the bone below the knee to fracture making recovery process much longer and extended. So it is important to oversee and question things to make sure proper treatment is being given. The place also seemed to be in a rush to get the patient discharged. As with any such facility, it is a good idea to make frequent visits and not in the same time frame each day.

Reformed Church Home is a great place. I think Mom is well taken care of there. The staff are very kind. Whatever I ask or if I need information, they're quick to respond. Their attention to detail is great as well. It's an extremely clean place.

My mom was admitted into Reformed Church Home. It's very clean and people working there are very conscientious to taking care of the people to the best of their ability. They have recreational activities, but my mother doesn't participate in it because she's confined to a wheelchair. She also has dementia. The dining room is very nice and very clean. Everybody is very kind in helping out my mom.

The facility was rather clean and well maintained. While there were some signs of age on the walls from wheelchair scrapes, overall you felt as if you were in a clean, hospitable environment. This facility also avoided the typical stale medical smell that seems to pervade these homes. The environment surrounding the home is at an acceptable level, though I would have liked to see more landscaping and forested area for residents to walk through to encourage them to be outdoors. The faculty of Reformed Church Home did an excellent job with name recognition and with adjustments in care for my particular family members. Dining options were frequently adjusted for them per their conditions beyond what was on menu, and never was a complaint or concern ever voiced to us about it. Additionally, they went the extra mile to ensure that our family was comfortable and welcome during our visits. Overall, both I and my family were pleased with the quality of care that our loved ones received at this home, and I would highly recommend it for anyone searching for a home for a loved one.

A caring, loving environment for my Mom who suffers from alzheimers. Continues to receive top rated audits from NJ. A great place.
