My mom recently became a resident of the Eastern Star Home. She would always tell me that if she…read moreneeded to be put in a Home, she wanted to be at the Eastern Star Home. Everyone always told me what good care they received there, and I can attest to that. From the first day that she arrived they took great care of her, attending to her every need. I am so thankful to the many people that work at the Eastern Star Home for all the care they gave to my mom, the professional and loving way they took care of mom and myself. They showed Mom and my family such compassion that is helped my family at this difficult time. Everyone that works there is an asset to the Home and on behalf of my sister, niece and nephews I want to say a big thank you. Mom last days on this earth were spent in a place where she was loved and cared for.

Since filled out everything online the first time in the office process was a breeze. I was seen by Jamie who performed a range of mobility on me and gave me her assessment on me. Most seem to be exactly what I was feeling. Was slightly disappointed that therapy was not today and just the assessment only which took 15 mins. With the co-pay per visit I expected to get started today. But had to make an appointment for next week. Overall I look forward to the experience and loosening up the arthritis within.

My partner was there for rehab for a mobility issue. She could not walk without extreme pain and…read morewas instructed not to put any weight on her leg. The facility did not give her a walker despite asking for one and was told if she needed to go to the bathroom to ring for help. She did as instructed, waited an hour and no one came. Rather than wet the bed she forced herself out of bed and into the bathroom - could have done extreme damage to herself. They also got a critical medication dosage wrong and when we tried to get it resolved the staff person and then the nurse - rather than offering to check with the dr - were obstinate in insisting that it was the correct dose. After some raised voices we finally got them to confer with the dr. The food was inedible - I brought lunch and dinner almost every night. Twice, in the week she was there, someone woke her in the middle of the night asking if they could change her diaper - she didn't wear a diaper. Rarely did any staff member introduce themselves and/or explain their role. Random people would walk in and start taking or asking questions and we'd have to ask them who they were and what their role was. It was very disconcerting to be woken up by a strange man in the middle of the night wanting to "change a diaper" that didn't exist. There were some patients/residents sitting in the lounge area in their wheelchairs every day with a plate of food in front of them but it looked like they could not feed themselves. I never saw anyone interact with them. It was heartbreaking. I like to believe that the staff care for the most part but they need a lot of training and/or additional staff/nurses. The room was clean The lady at the front desk in the downstairs lobby was always friendly.

In my opinion & experience, our family recently experienced a very upsetting and confusing…read moreadmissions process involving a Medicaid-pending married couple seeking placement together. After touring the facility, being told both my parents would be accepted and together , which was most important to my family & expressed deeply to the administration. I was encouraged to initiate the transfer process for my mother who is in another facility , after obtaining OCCO/PAS approval, and transferring one spouse into the facility all was approved , we were later informed that the second spouse was being denied due to "acuity level" and "payor "status concerns. What made this especially difficult was the lack of any clear clinical explanation despite repeated questions, while nearly every conversation focused heavily on finances, Medicaid pending status, payees, and financial responsibility paperwork & give us until Monday after a stressful week to discuss like it didn't matter . Families navigating long-term care are already overwhelmed emotionally, financially, and physically. Communication matters. Transparency matters. If there are concerns about Medicaid pending admissions, families deserve honest and direct communication before major decisions are made , especially when dealing with elderly married couples who may now face separation after relying on representations made during the admissions process. I strongly encourage families to: * read every admissions and financial form carefully, * understand the difference between POA and personal financial responsibility, * keep all communications documented * and ask detailed questions before making transfer decisions Be aware that federal law (42 CFR § 483.15) prohibits facilities from requiring a third-party guarantee of payment. As for the food , my father hates it and says it's disgusting . He said he has lost a lot of weight , he says his stomach is shrinking & he is not liking , or eating the food , he is hungry all the time however he said he can't stomach to eat the food . . I have ordered outside food to the facility upon my Dads request. My dad is Jewish , he's not at all kosher , however he liked the Kosher meals on wheels at home . Outside of PT and OT sessions, my father appears to spend nearly all day in his room/in bed with little to no meaningful activity or engagement , which to me is deeply concerning . Communication and responsiveness to the facility have also been extremely frustrating during our experience. This process has been heartbreaking and unnecessarily stressful for our family. Mother's Day weekend passed & my parents are now an hour from one another & separated due to what happened here . Disgraceful Not to mention I feel the admissions department is useless & they do not respond with any concerns whatsoever!! UPDATE JULY 9, 2026: In my opinion : The negligence at this facility continues to worsen. The facility recently lost my father's custom dentures for two full days--a clear sign that staff is not performing the daily oral care required by the facility . Instead of taking responsibility, the administration actually tried to blame my 90 year old father with vascular dementia to try to avoid paying for them, claiming "he said he put them in his pocket." This facility loses personal property, refuses to take accountability, and tries to financially exploit vulnerable families to cover up their staff's failure who was & supposed to be cleaning the dentures daily at night & had no idea they were missing for two whole days . A formal complaint has been filed with the New Jersey Department of Health ++!! Update - I feel the healthcare that my father is getting is unacceptable- it's now over a month that the facility lost my dads dentures - to top it off the owner's son is only interested in sending alleged bills to my home .He told me only families that have signed agreements that are Medicaid pending (my dad is pending ) not receive private pay bills , If I do receive 1 more I will post all of them . Advice - sign nothing !

My father was placed here after a broken back confirmed by hosptial. He was 99 years old. He was…read moreplaced in a room, dark, TV with one channel, no water or pitcher in sight upon first visit. I KNEW this was not for him. (unfortunately I have no POA to move him). I went often and one night three aids came into his room, closed the door behind them and had a weighing contraption they proceeded to hook him up to. I said "He has a broken back", their reply it will only take a second. They put a NET on it and proceeded to lift him. He started screaming "Stop, please stop" at which time I stepped in and stopped what they were doing as clearly this was causing excrutiating pain. I unhooked the equipment and told them to get out after mandhandling my father. I had to find a nurse (none around) and instruct that is NEVER to happen again. He died in their care three days after that catastrophic event while I sat with him, no morphine in sight. 8 hours without any morphine, none on the premise. I called Hospice three times, it never arrived and he passed a terrible death 8 hours later while I sat helpless and held his hand. DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED ONE HERE. The care is terrible, communication worse and its not a place for someone if they cannot advocate for themselves.

This place is amazing. I have a traumatic brain injury from a car accident , along with multiple…read moreother injuries . I had to learn how to walk, I had speaking slight impairment and I needed physical occupational, speech and neurological physiological therapy. They are very gentle, kind, friendly, patient and helpful as long as you trust the process. They treat the outpatient therapy just like they treat the patients that live there from my observation . They are also are very professional and are like angels working in there to get us back to a new normal. If you only understand what the people go through as in patient to get to where we are today. This place should all five stars, therapist have for us you would give everybody a five star display should be on the news because of how great they are and the jobs they do I can speak for myself. I've seen over 20 of us that came in and left better than I expected, I was using a wheelchairs when I first got there, it was painful and hard to walk more than four steps!!! I couldn't walk and then I got to a place where I bought a cane and practiced with it, I actually can us a cane at any time but after my fall I'm afraid so I use my walker not because I can't walk but because it gives me stability. I can now do things I couldn't do before! I'm a different person and my life has value, the support groups the confidence is by far amazing!!! Thank You
