    Great therapy but poor nursing

    I had a mixed experience at Inglemoor. The building is attractive and clean, and the rehab team/therapists were excellent, rigorous and caring - they helped a lot. But nursing was often surly and slow; I waited a long time for bathroom help, lost weight, and my diverticulitis needs weren't accommodated. Meals were unbalanced, lacking fresh vegetables/fruit, dining staff were overworked, and there was no weekend rehab or consistent menu adjustments. Communication and planning felt poor (spotty updates, inconsistent Wi-Fi, outdated movie screen, rooms mostly small doubles), and COVID-era restrictions and staffing problems raised safety and visitation concerns. Overall: great therapy and clean facility, but serious issues with nursing, dining, communication and staffing relative to the price.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews for Inglemoor Rehabilitation And Care Center of Living is mixed and polarized: a substantial number of reviewers praise the rehabilitation services, many individual staff members, and the physical environment, while a roughly equal set of reviewers report serious problems with meals, staffing levels, communication, COVID-related safety, and occasional neglect or poor behavior. The dominant positive theme is high-quality rehabilitation and therapy. Multiple reviewers described therapists as "great," "wonderful," or "rigorous," and praised thorough explanations and professional, knowledgeable caregivers. Several family members and residents highlighted attentive nurses and aides, courteous receptionists, and an overall warm and friendly atmosphere. The facility’s physical plant and gardens are frequently described as attractive and clean, and some reviewers explicitly recommend the center for short-term rehab stays. A minority of reviewers also cited good food and a favorable staff-to-patient ratio.

    Care quality and staffing present a complex picture. On the one hand, many reviews emphasize excellent, attentive care from therapists and some nursing staff, rigorous therapy programs, and positive outcomes that exceeded expectations. On the other hand, there are repeated complaints about insufficient staffing to meet basic resident needs: dining staff shortages, single servers, slow delivery of basic items, and long waits for bathroom assistance. Those staffing shortfalls are tied in several reports to adverse outcomes (weight loss, regression after COVID isolation, delayed toileting) and to families’ frustration. Several reviewers specifically stated that therapy participation was limited or that patients were sometimes sent back to their rooms instead of being provided full therapy sessions; one reviewer noted there is no weekend rehab. The net impression is that rehabilitation programming can be strong, but consistency and coverage (especially at nights/weekends or during staffing shortages) are problematic.

    Dining and nutrition are recurring pain points. Multiple reviewers described the meals as poor, unbalanced, lacking fresh vegetables and fruit, or overly salty; some noted the menu was non-adjustable and did not accommodate medical dietary needs (e.g., diverticulitis). Conversely, other reviewers said their loved ones enjoyed the food. Reports of limited dining staff or single servers and slow mealtime assistance tie into concerns about residents not receiving adequate help to eat. These mixed reports suggest variability by unit, shift, or time period: some residents experience satisfactory meals while others face insufficient nutrition and support.

    Facilities and amenities are generally seen as attractive but with notable shortcomings. The building, gardens, and general cleanliness receive positive remarks from several reviewers. However, room sizes are a complaint (many small double rooms, with a limited number of private rooms), and several reviewers mentioned outdated or inadequate entertainment technology (old or too-small movie screen) and inconsistent WiFi. Personal belongings management is also a repeated issue: items (including photos) were reported lost, damaged, or missing in several accounts, which raises concerns about housekeeping and property tracking practices.

    Communication, transparency, and management practices are significant areas of concern. Multiple reviewers reported infrequent or inaccurate communication with families, including cases where families were not notified about emergency room visits or other serious incidents. There are accounts of doctors dismissing family or patient concerns and of outside contractors being allowed in during the pandemic, which contributed to families’ perception of poor planning and safety enforcement. COVID-specific complaints are prominent: outbreaks, lockdowns, restrictions on visitation, allegations that infection was spread by staff due to vaccination policy issues, and even reports of eviction or forced discharge tied to COVID. These reports not only reflect dissatisfaction with pandemic handling but also broader worries about safety protocols and oversight.

    Behavioral and safety concerns appear in several reviews. Some reviewers describe surly, rude, or uncaring nursing and transport staff, and an allegation of abusive behavior by transport personnel. There are also reports of patients being unfed or dirty during periods of isolation, photos and other personal items being damaged or missing, and at least one report of a patient regressing significantly after COVID isolation. Such allegations are relatively few in number compared to the positive comments about specific caregivers, but they are serious and recurring enough to be a notable theme.

    Value and administrative issues round out the critical themes. Several reviewers questioned the facility’s pricing relative to quality, describing high monthly charges and perceiving greed or mismanagement. Administrative shortcomings—such as poor incident notification, mishandled belongings, inconsistent staffing levels, and variability in the quality of care between staff members or shifts—contribute to perceptions of variable value for money.

    In summary, Inglemoor Rehabilitation And Care Center delivers strong rehabilitation services and has many staff members who are praised for their professionalism, warmth, and clinical skill. The physical environment is generally attractive and clean. However, multiple, significant concerns recur across reviews: inconsistent meal quality and dietary accommodation, staffing shortages that lead to slow assistance (especially at dining and toileting), variable therapy delivery (including lack of weekend rehab), communication failures with families, handling of personal belongings, and COVID-related safety and policy issues. The overall pattern is one of a facility capable of excellent care in many cases but with uneven execution and important systemic weaknesses that can materially affect resident outcomes and family confidence. Prospective residents and families should weigh the strong rehabilitation reputation and attractive environment against the documented variability in dining, staffing consistency, communication, and pandemic-era safety management.

    About Inglemoor Rehabilitation And Care Center Of Living

    Inglemoor Rehabilitation And Care Center Of Living sits in New Jersey with 138 certified beds and usually cares for about 98 residents each day, offering both private and semi-private rooms to fit different needs, and folks there will find services for everything from independent living to assisted living, nursing home care, memory care, and continuing care so no matter how much help somebody needs, they aim to have it covered. The place has a long list of rehabilitation services, including special programs for stroke, cardiac, and orthopedic recovery, and offers wound care, palliative and hospice care, respiratory and oxygen support, and short-term respite care when families just need a break or extra help for a short while. The rehab department gets a lot of attention, with a 3,000 square foot therapy gym-packed with handy equipment like a treadmill, Nu-Step, standing table, parallel bars, and a recumbent bike-plus a full kitchen and bathroom right in the gym to help residents practice daily living skills safely, and you'll see visits from a physiatrist every week to oversee recovery plans while therapists with 10 to 20 years' experience lead personalized programs. The West Wing stands out because it has 16 spacious private rooms, each with a recliner chair, mini fridge, flat-screen TV, and Wi-Fi, which seems to be available everywhere across the building, and there's an Inglemoor library for leisure reading along with regular notary, laundry, beautician, and religious services, as well as family rooms for visitors to gather in a more private way. The dining experience gets a special mention, too, since meals aren't just about nutrition, but also a way for residents to socialize, and the staff also handles special dietary needs as best they can even though CMS inspection reports have cited the facility for problems with food service standards and making sure they only get food from approved sources.

    CMS reports also show they've had pharmacy service issues, like not always following proper drug labeling and storage rules, and they've had other documented care and staffing deficiencies along the way, with nurses turning over at a rate of 43.6%, which is something folks might want to think about if consistency with caregivers is important, while the average staffing comes to about 4.49 nurse hours for each resident per day. The whole place is run as a for-profit limited liability company, and even with some of these citations, they've managed to maintain a 5 Star Rating by CMS, and people often speak well of how the staff treats residents and families with genuine care, aiming for a safe and homelike environment where everyone gets an individualized care plan. Amenities go beyond medical care, including cozy community rooms, a beautician, regular religious services, and full-service respite care, and their interdisciplinary team-including hospice providers when needed-meets with families to discuss patient progress and concerns, always tailoring care toward independence and comfort so when time comes for discharge, the goal is to get folks safely home if possible. Family meetings with therapists and social workers are part of the routine, and care plans adjust as needed, which helps everyone feel more included and informed during a loved one's stay. The facility works hard to provide both advanced medical care and the small comforts that help someone feel at home, from internet access in private rooms to quiet reading spaces or safe, cheerful gathering areas.
