I can’t say enough positive things about our experience with The Elms. I write this following a health emergency involving my cousin, for whom I am responsible. I live at a distance, and I cannot express how grateful I am to the staff. Their response to her illness was swift and appropriate. But I am mostly writing this because I am so impressed and so touched by the staff’s subsequent response. My cousin has had multiple visits at the hospital and phone calls from staff. When we needed a 24/7 aide at the hospital, one stepped up and she has been wonderful. I want to specifically cite Deirdre (the most attentive and kind social worker ever!), Kerry (the very caring aide helping us), and Tina (my cousin’s favorite Activities Director at The Elms) who was kind enough to arrange a visit for my cousin from her rabbi. Many thanks to you all.
I arrived at the Elms of Cranbury four days after spine surgery. At that time I was barely able to lift my legs. Within a few short weeks I was able to walk with a walker. I attribute this to comprehensive physical therapy administered by highly competent physical therapists. These women and men fostered positive and creative atmosphere enabling a safe and speedy recovery. The entire staff led by the administrator at The Elms was friendly and always projected a friendly atmosphere. The nurses and CNAs were always there to assist in every way possible. I personally observed the Nursing Supervisor, Director of Nursing, Director of Admissions, Director of Social Services all taking a hand on approach when dealing with residents. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in need of rehabilitation or skilled nursing care.
Received excellent care and rehabilitation. The PT staff were very knowledgeable and all equally assisted in my progress. The nurses and nursing aides were very accommodating assuring that I was comfortable and moving forward on my road to recovery. I was very pleased with the end result.
Ten months after surviving an accident, my son was admitted to The Elms. He was in a fragile condition having suffered a catastrophic brain injury which left him minimally conscious, unable to interact with his surroundings and immobile. His medical needs required much care-a tracheostomy, a feeding tube, changing nutritional needs, a cranial flap with a non-healing surgical wound and chronic infections. Care that many facilities were unwilling to accept. For the next ten months, a new Administrator and his entire staff strove to give my son the best care they could offer. Any concerns on my part were promptly addressed and, if necessary, corrected. Suggestions in hopes of improving his brain function or physical condition were treated with respect and implemented when feasible. His nurses and aides were attentive, knowledgeable, and kind, despite being under- staffed. The entire staff from every dept. was always willing to do whatever was needed for him. The Elms became "family" shepherding our family through this heartbreaking time. Thank each of you for your care, smiles, prayers and hugs.
Nothing but positive things to say about this place. All the nurses and therapists are top notch. Everyone cares and shows it. You are in good and loving care here. Thank you, The Elms of Cranbury.
