Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation

My uncle was admitted to Parker Jewish in 2018 and was treated with the utmost care and consideration while there. With every visit, I witnessed how the staff, the doctors, and the institute as a whole was structured to care for the patients housed with their walls. My uncle was suffering from Parkinson's and at times could be a difficult patient. But the nurses and staff never gave up on him. As someone with quite a few members of his immediate family in the medical field, I can speak to bedside manner from experience and those that work at Parker Jewish are the cream of the crop. Not to mention the daily activities, the cultural food, the prayer room, and the television/entertainment offerings, which helped my uncle feel at home. While he e has passed now, I know that his time at Parker Jewish was spent in comfort and in true care. Thank you for all that you do Parker Jewish. My family and I will never forget it!

Our sister Padma Sareen was admitted to Parker Jewish institute after having a stroke about more than a year ago. She is getting efficient, professional and genuine care from the entire staff. This place is a home away from home for her. We would like to thank the entire staff for doing an excellent job with our sister. From the nursing staff, aides to the front lobby staff they are all always fulfilling our sisters request and making her stay a comfortable one.Special appreciation for Parker Jewish administration:While we are pleased with the care she has received, last week, Parker Jewish administration arranged a remarkable drive-by visit by families to meet their loved-ones finally under the difficult Covid situation. The best part was that we saw our sister in the wheelchair with her favorite Kathleen Keegan, Director- Therapeutic Recreation. We felt very good seeing our sister after more than 3-months. This was a kind gesture on the part of Parker Jewish admin and we greatly appreciate it.In the process of her rehab and medical care, we need special mention of one very caring person that is Ms. Sujata Seth, Public Affairs Associate, representative - Parkers Indian Cultural Unit on the 4th floor. As a family, we found Sujata a high-quality professional, providing her services to our sister and the other Indian residents on the floor. Her caring nature and genuine desire to help patients and family members was outstanding and therefore she earned our trust in a short amount of time. Through these difficult times, she has communicated very well with our family of 3-brothers and their spouses. Along with Padma, she treated us also with empathy, understanding and respect. We wish to thank her for all her help to us and we are sure she is making a difference in patient care at Parker Jewish Institute.Gupta Family:Bhagwati and Rama Gupta;Vijay and Sarla Gupta;Hukam & Veena Gupta, MD

This place is disgusting. They neglected my DEAF grandmother, she had no interpreter, she was ignored, treated like an animal. Don't send any of your disabled loved ones here, matter of fact disabled or not, send them anywhere BUT Parker. Parker is the worst from what I have heard. Pathetic.

My mother was just discharged from Parker yesterday. I dont have enough words for this wonderful place. Everyone from the top to the bottom is so amazing. From the moment you enter the building, the security and front desk staff always greets you cheerfully. All the nurses and CNA go above and beyond to attend to patients. This kind of work is very demanding and stressful. Some patients can be difficult and impatient, and add to it their families being nit picky; complaining about every little thing. However, the staff never lost their cool. We were there pretty much every day, often different times of the day. We really got to see first hand how good they were with our mom and all the other residents. It speaks volumes when I tell you, Ive seen the nurses and CNAs hold patients hand and tell them everything will be ok; They have patients with Dementia/Alzheimer who get very anxious at times. They always consoled them and took the best care they could, given multiple patients with simultaneous needs. My mom in early to mid Dementia stage formed an attachment to the CNAs, nurses, therapist, social worker and the director of relations. Yes even the director is so approachable. She came around and talked to the residents. She entertained them. This is in addition to the daily Therapeutic and fun activities the Therapeutic director (another wonderful soul) did with residents to keep them engaged. Last but not least, the social worker and therapists went above and beyond to help us navigate resources to help our mom at home. They spend their time patiently teaching us how to care for her at home. The social worker helped me take all of my moms belongings and her down to the car. If my mom or another family member ever needs to go to rehab. We will surely be returning to Parker. This place is a gem! Thank you everyone for all your dedication. You all are amazing!
