My dad is in a very long recovery process after illness in ‘22. We have been to several different facilities along the way, I now have a comparison to a facility another family member is in, and without a doubt I can say that Cranbury Center has the largest group of caring people that chose their job for the right reason. My dads main purpose for being in a sub acute facility was rehabilitation. The REHABILITATION TEAM is amazing, Ron and Mike were the primary therapists that made the success happen. The entire team worked together with new ideas for every session to get my dad up and moving, speech got him off a peg tube and back to eating and drinking with no restrictions. My dad showed up with a tracheostomy, stage 4 wound, peg tube, not even able to move his arms at all; he left WALKING with a walker, no oxygen, no dietary restrictions. Yvette was very thorough in ensuring my dads wound was being treated properly and helped my mom and I get trained on how to care for it at home. The nursing staff from administrative level to the aids were all very caring and had an important role in motivating my dad, taking very good care of him. I witnessed plenty of communication among the entire TEAM to keep everyone informed of the patients current status and needs. I witnessed amazing team work, all departments have to work together to coordinate care and therapy, they help each other and make it happen. I’ve witnessed administration helping as aids and delivering meals. I’ve witnessed staff caring for patients with no family making them feel loved and cared for, spending time with them, painting their nails, braiding their hair. The team jumps in to assist in whatever is needed. In the last several years, health care is a very stressful environment to work in and is always suffering staffing crisis, but the amazing team at Cranbury continues to give it their all when they start their shift to care for the patients and residents. My dad was there for 6 months, many people there became “our family”. They guided us along the way, trained us thoroughly to be ready for discharge and to be able to care for him at home and to keep his rehabilitation progressing. We have a goal of walking back in for a visit, with a cane, by March! We are eternally grateful to all our special angels at Cranbury.
I entered Cranbury center after fracturing my hip on 7/26/24 I was basically an invalid I I arrived there on 8/5/24. I couldn’t walk, eat or go to the bathroom by myself. After completing their physical therapy program I walked out on my own on 9/19/24. God bless the physical therapy techs thank you 🙏
This Facility is amazing! Everyone has a great experience! Minah is the most devoted and caring employee a company can ever ask for!!!!
The courtyard is dirty and not safe. It is full of high weeds, dirty, old furniture, wasps and bugs. Please make this a safe, beautiful area for the sick, elderly residents. No need to contact your Compliance Dept just look at the courtyard, it's very obvious. I'm there often and it really needs attention.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cranbury Center in Monroe Township, NJ, and was thoroughly impressed by the facility and its staff. The center is located at 292 Applegarth Road and specializes in both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. The facility is well-maintained and provides a welcoming atmosphere for residents and visitors alike. The staff demonstrated professionalism and genuine compassion, ensuring that each resident receives personalized care tailored to their needs. The range of services offered, including skilled nursing and rehabilitative care, is comprehensive and designed to promote recovery and well-being. I highly recommend Cranbury Center to anyone seeking quality care for themselves or their loved ones. Their commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of their operation.
