Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Metuchen, NJ
The Brielle in Staten Island, NY
3.1

The value for the money is outrageously priced. They take pretty good care of the the resiedents. They need to improve on their prices.

Sunrise of Mill Basin in Brooklyn, NY
4.1

We picked this community because, cost was a big factor, the type of community and where it's located, and the outdoor spaces. There is lack of communication with the nursing staff. The variety of the food can improve and the taste as well.

Everything from top to bottom was terrific. My brother received tremendous care while at Wedgwood Gardens Care Center for rehab. I give the highest regards to all the nurses and staff at Wedgwood Gardens of Freehold.
