Manahawkin Health and Rehabilitation Center

I felt extremely blessed and thankful to once again welcome the residents with games, music and songs, and handing out “0ur Daily Bread” pamphlets to all the residents and I was over-joyed at how much they appreciated them! After the singing and closing prayers, I proceeded down the hallways with two young men and we were welcomed into every room where the doors were ajar! We handed out a few more phamplets and also candy canes too and asked if they would like our prayers and each one did!! I felt so blessed and left there knowing I will return again soon!! Prayers for all the residents and staff at such a great place to live and work! God bless You all! Patricia Nash MSA Church

the worst healthcare team i have ever had to speak with. They completely disregard patients safety and care by discharging my family member in a taxi right after a major snowstorm. he went home with no followup care, no prescriptions, and no medical devices. he ended up falling and having to crawl inside his house. none of this being necessary if they had followed a safe discharge plan and listened to my complaints that he did not haver a safe discharge in place. Connie on the social work department is a nightmare to speak with and raising her voice at family members and with argue you. She made personal demands to me that she had no right to bring up or even mention. Only people who acted professionally and seemed to actually have decency to are the receptionist and rehab director.

My experience with this nursing home was heartbreaking and unacceptable. Residents are not given the basic dignity, attention, or medical care they deserve. I witnessed repeated neglect, ignored call lights, and staff showing little compassion or urgency when residents were in distress. The environment feels unsafe, chaotic, and understaffed. Communication with families is poor, and management seems more focused on excuses than on accountability or improvement. Families entrust this facility with their loved ones, but what I saw was far from proper care — it was neglectful and distressing. Until there is a major change in leadership and oversight, I would urge others to look elsewhere for a place that truly values the health and safety of its resident

The one-star is for the caring staff, from the custodial team to nursing and PT/OT who really seem to care for the patients. They are the only redeeming quality of this literally roach infested, broken down, just plain sad place. Honestly don't have the words to describe what I saw my family member endure for two weeks in the name of rehabilitation. Prayers for the souls who are living their lives out there. Possibly better than being homeless.

This is a good practices care facility. The staff is professional and friendly. It is important to understand that providing care for many of the patients is extremely difficult. They all feel they deserve better because many (most) are formerly outcast folks or misunderstood and/or troubled veterans. I am grateful for the people who work and run this facility. I am especially grateful for the veterans living here who are forgotten. We all need to remember them and better understand their condition. God help us all!! Joe Keating, friend of MRN.
