Thoroughly enjoyed my time at Complete Care. I love the Physical therapy team!! They never kept me in the dark about my condition and progress. The food was good and TV channels were good as well! I am leaving very healthy and capable of doing things on my own! My nursing and CNA team was outstanding as well as the social service worker, Jojo. I enjoyed my time here.
For what it is, it's been great. These types of facilities are inherently unhappy places, but the folks at Complete Care are always cheerful and attentive. Does not appear to be understaffed as is often the case in facilities like this. The grounds outside could use a refresh, but there's always enough parking and the building inside and the staff get no complaints.
Im not sure how this place stays open. How does the health department allow this?? Health department needs to do better. They caused serious harm to my mother. They do not know how to draw blood or run tpn. Extremely dangerous! The whole facility smells like urine. Aides and nurses sit behind desk and do not take care of patients. The rooms are covered in dirt and dust. The floors and walls are filthy bugs all over the place. Please reconsider sending your family here. Call facilities and take a tour first.
My wife (Elaine) came to Complet Care after one month at at St. Barnabas and a wasted 2-1/2 weeks at a name i will say. I met Anni and she convinced me let Complet care a shot, and boy i'm so happy we did. The staff top to bottom was all about helpingher and just 2 weeks we could see the change on her face. This dosent just happen, it takes a lot of work and discipine. loving your job. Thank You Anni ans the hold staff God Bless all of you Angelo & Elaine Cifaretto
