My sister, Anne, was a hospice patient for the last week of her life at Merwick Care. I can't say enough of the excellent treatment she received from the Merwick staff. Doctor, nurses and all others were so kind to us as we dealt with our loss. Thank you so much.

I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. They almost killed my dad - luckily there was one attentive nurse at 2:00AM that decided to DO HER JOB and check on my dad. At that point he was unresponsive and he was rushed to the ER at Penn Medicine. His room was dirty, the staff was unfriendly, the receptionist was annoyed at doing her job. My dad went here on Oct 9th after being in Penn Medicine's care for 40 days. He wasn't able to dress himself and was just learning how to feed himself a...

I want to tell the story of how this facility allowed more than $10,000 worth of my mother’s jewelry (rings) to be stolen right off her fingers. When I asked management about this, they seemed indifferent and offered no assistance by way of an investigation. Big tip for all family members of residents: do not let your loved ones bring anything of value to the facility. This theft, and the lack of concern about it, really soured my feelings about my mother’s experience at Merwick. The rooms w...

This is one of the worst facilities ever. My husband was here for a few days and it almost cost his life. He was given too much BP meds. BP went down to 60/36 and was rushed back to the ER. The staff is horrible and will not come when you call for them. I would not recommend this place to my dog.

Having a loved one in a long term care facility, sick with cancer is already one of the biggest challenges a person can have in their lives. When looking for a care facility, you need people who are compassionate and skilled in everything they do. Whether it's the nurses, the janitors, or the front desk receptionists, everyone in this line of work should provide warmth to the families visiting. Unfortunately, at Merwick Care & Rehabilitation Center, the first face you see in the door is the rece...

My siblings and I highly recommend Merwick Rehabilitation. Our elderly father received wonderful care and physical therapy there following a hospitalization. He was there for 20 days and one of us was there every day to visit him and observe his care. He was in a big room on the second floor with a giant tv, a nice view and a desk. The facility is clean and well organized. The nurses, doctor, administrators, social worker, aides, therapists, cleaners and dining room workers were all kind, easily...

When I entered Merwick 3 weeks ago, I was in extreme pain from a compressed fractured vertebrae. I could barely move and was very frightened. Dr. Sidhu and her caring team of professionals worked to alleviate my pain and enable me to begin therapy asap. The therapists were encouraging and urged me to try my utmost. The support staff and nurses followed through in the planning and were a large part in my success. Merwick is decorated in soothing blues, meticulously maintained and well run. If ...

I visited this facility

Merwick Care & Rehabilitation Center was modern, new, sunny and bright, but I was disappointed that the Alzheimer's patients were intermingled with the cognitively healthy patients. Everyone was grouped together, so it's a bit depressing. The first floor was for the general nursing care, but the second floor had an influx of a specific community. A couple years ago, the majority of their patients were Indian, so they placed them on the second floor. When I visited, the majority of their patients...

I spent two and one half months at Merwick. Management was hands on, especially Lori and Amanda. They made it a point to check on my well being and progress. Therapists were excellent! Facility was clean. Nurses and aides were overworked, but very good. My only negatives, were the food and cleanliness in the gym. The food was tasteless and the food served was often not what I had ordered. As for the gym, they need an aide to wipe down the equipment after each use. If you have friends or relative...

Merwick Care & Rehabilitation Center is clean and the staff is very nice. They just have a problem with communication in therapy, but the people are very nice. The food is institutional, but it was OK, and we will go back. The cost is expensive, more so than others, but it's also superior to them so you get what you pay for.

I am very unhappy with the care my husband is receiving. He is in there for rehab and is upset every day. Let me preface this by letting you know he is a very easy patient at home and rarely complains. In fact, he is very grateful and appreciative no matter what happens. Since entering Merwick he does nothing but complain to the point it's getting hard for me to visit him. But he has reason! The care is poor. Really poor. He can press his call button and it can be easily half an hour until some...

This is a live review from the center. My 90+ year father in law who is here post his cancer treatment had his hearing aid stolen/ misplaced day one. They don’t take responsibility and keep blaming the Princeton Hospital and the hospital blames the rehab facility. Care is of worst than 3rd world country. Care givers seem like not interested in the job they are hired to do. You can hear patients here screaming for help from pain or need to go to the bathroom but no one from staff cares. If anyo...

Placed 88 yr. old mother at Merwick to rehab from a broken femur. She was there approx. 5 weeks. I was there daily and here are my observations as follows. First let me preface with if you or a family member are fairly independent as far as bathroom and bathing, your medication knowledge, you'll do fine at this subacute. I will be very objective as I have had the experience of 4 rehab's over the period of 7 years for my mother. 1) The nursing supervisor's attitude, to me, set the tone ther...

The nursing care is poor. No one comes when you call for help. The food arrives cold and inedible.

Merwick Rehab Hospital & Nursing Care was adequate and good. From what I observed, my mother was cared for and tended to. They also attempted to give her rehab for mobility. They treated her with respect there, and the place was very clean.

Don't be fooled by its look! I've friend who was here and swears, she'll never going back here. Never go to this facility, poor service, poor management, takes forever before staff will attend to you, overall... Don't ever put your loved ones in this facility not unless you have no other choice.
