While I was at first very apprehensive about the change, over the years I have found my initial fears to have been unfounded. Whatever Azalea's recruiting process, they employ an extraordinary staff - one consisting almost exclusively of people much kinder, friendlier, more caring, more patient and more positive in outlook than the norm! These are people who enjoy interacting with the residents, like what they are doing, and do it well - from the chefs who cook delicious meals for the residents to those who clean residents' rooms to the nursing staff and the management. Of special note is the assistance the staff gives residents with practical matters eg. Internet/online purchases and device maintenance. The planned activities, special meals, and social events are also very popular. And Azalea has a vibrant sense of community that never feels overwhelming! I would want and expect nothing less for my parents, and I have told Azalea's staff, in taking care of my parents, they have been taking care of my sometimes-anxious mind as well. It's always such a pleasure to visit such a warm and well-run community!

I have not had any experience at rehabs or nursing homes until my uncle had a few health issues. He…read morehad to stay here for 21 days, and I was able to visit on most of them. I was told that this is considered a short term facility and he would eventually go to a long term one. Over the course of his stay my rating ranged from 2-4 stars and until observing the operation of the new place he was in, I had nothing to compare it with. But let's start with the positives. The physical therapy dept was very good. On several visits I had a chance to see how well all of the therapists worked with the residents here. It kind of gives family members hope when they see their relatives trying to regain their strength and mobility. I also saw a wide range of nurses, nurses aides and other employees. In most cases they seemed caring and professional, some really stood out too. The reason for the low rating is not about the staff as described above, but one person in particular. And one issue that was so simple to correct I feel like an idiot for not thinking of it myself. There was an orderly( not sure if that's the correct term) who on the second or third day of his stay seemed to have some anger issues. He was combative with me when all I wanted was to see that my uncle was safe from falling out of his wheel chair. When he came back a second time because I wanted to leave, he basically threw my 90 lb 95 YO uncle into his bed. Upon seeing this I got a supervisor to intervene, I did not post a complaint but am still considering it. Perhaps more disturbing than this action, was what he told me before any of that happened. An hour earlier when he was removing the lunch tray, he looked me straight in the eyes and said, "you know he's not leaving here, right". Well, I've had other experiences with family members close to death, sometimes you know and sometimes you don't. But to hear this from an employee seems cruel and unhelpful. The other factor for the low score is that my uncle was prone to trying to get out of bed or out of his chair by himself. He fell several times while here, including on his last night! No one had the foresight to put a padded mat on the side of his bed. But guess what, the new facility did just that on day 1. Has it not been for that one interaction, this would have been a quick 3 star review. I'm not sure what other short term facilities in this area are like, but I'd probably try out other ones before returning here.

I asked for diarrhea medicine, which had to be doctor approved. That took quite awhile. Then the nurse was too busy to go to the pharmacy to pick it up! It took about 14 hours for me to finally get it. They wake you around 6 to take your meds. The place is entirely TOO WARM!! I had a very hard time sleeping because of that. The food gets 2 stars out of 5. The RWJ HOSPITAL had better food. I was very bored. Because of Covid there's nothing to do but watch TV 24-7. I liked the physical therapist and therapy but I could have used MORE of it every day.

The food is horrible, they are just giving them enough to keep them alive (not to nourish their body)... The staff: nurses & CNAs do not care for the individuals they're suppose to be caring for. I will be contacting the state and making a formal report and I hope they shut this facility down. I feel bad for the people that don't have anyone to speak up for them; they treat their patients like shit, it's trash all over the floors. I had to come up there and tell the staff that my mom was bleeding from her incision and she's been bleeding for 3 days now and they just kept putting bandages over it instead of seeking medical advise. Thank God I got my mom out of there cause they would have killed her. I had to call 911 to get her transferred to the ER and she will not be returning to this he'll hole ever again.
