Barn Hill Care Center

Like a Bed & Breakfast

The staff was so nice, helpful, and kind. Everyone went above and beyond in my therapy. I didn’t want to go home. I really felt like I was at a Country Bed & Breakfast resort with a gym and hair salon. Everything was wonderful and if I ever need physical therapy again I would 100% choose Barn Hill, without a doubt. Also, I would highly recommend your Care Center to my family and friends.
Thank you for a wonderful physical rehab.

Genuinely Interested in my Progress

I am writing to express my thanks to all of you for the excellent care and treatment I received following my recent bilateral total knee replacement surgery. From the time I entered your facility until my departure each and every staff member was friendly, listened and addressed my concerns and seemed genuinely interested in my welfare and progress. The environment was clean and quiet and the private accommodations were definitely conducive to optimal recuperation.

Recommendation Without Hesitation

In late January, I fell and severely injured my left leg. After surgery, I spent almost 3 weeks in Barn Hill doing physical and occupational therapy. I am much better than I expected to be at this stage! The staff is top-notch and super friendly nurses’ aides, therapists, housekeeping, social worker, administrators and receptionists! I would recommend Barn Hill with no hesitating!
Thank you all so much,
Martin R.

Offering Assistance & Encouraging Independence

I was recently a resident at your facility and must tell you what a caring, professional and astute staff you have on your Hampton Unit!!! The staff was so instrumental in my progress, always offering assistance and encouraging independence as my care evolved. Every staff member on the Hampton Unit exceeded my expectation. The OT and PT department shines above and beyond and I’ve needed to avail myself of. I’m sure that Dominick is well aware of the tremendous team he leads. God Bless them all.
Sincerely,
Sharon R.

It Reminds Me of a Hotel Room

The care I was given at your facility was absolutely wonderful. Beginning with the room, it is so nice and reminds me of a hotel room. It is such a lovely section of your facility. Makes a wonderful impression on patients and visitors. The nurses and nurse’s aides are so helpful and thoughtful. I was very impressed with the kindness and care given. I have saved the best for last and that is Rehab and Physical Therapy Department. They are just great and so talented in knowing what to do and how to help us reach our goals. All of your staff are just great! They were strict but in a good way so you knew it is for your best. They always had a kind word for us and made us feel good when we accomplished one of our goals. Keep up the great work. Barn Hill will be around for many years to come. I will certainly recommend your place to my friends.
Sincerely,
D. E.

Blessed to Have Chosen This Facility

I recently had cause to stay at your facility in Newton, NJ: Barn Hill Rehabilitation.  I am a 50 year old male, and I underwent surgery for a total hip revision.  I am writing to tell you that I could not have been more pleasantly surprised at the treatment I received from every single person at this facility. Additionally, I should mention that the food staff was also very pleasant and very caring and all meals were very tasty. I am blessed to have chosen this facility, and I do not hesitate to tell anyone about the exceptional services I received.

I Felt Pampered

Compassion, Humor, Dedication, Patience

Our aunt became a resident at Barn Hill Care Center last October (2014). In the 10 months that she spent at Barn Hill, we have come to understand and recognize the true meaning of the word dedication. It was so difficult to see her going through these health challenges (hip replacement, Alzheimer’s), but it was such a reassurance to know that the Barn Hill staff was looking after her needs so closely. We would like to express our most heartfelt thanks to Taryn for being such a compassionate and competent caregiver for our aunt during the time that she has been at Barn Hill Care Center.
To Director Dana, Nurse Mary Ann and the rest of the staff (especially Tina, Lisa, Trisha) in the Blair Unit: when we think about specific character qualities we  observed on a regular basis, these qualities come to mind - compassion, humor, dedication, patience. We could list numerous examples of these character traits, but suffice it to say, we know we are not aware of everything you all did for our aunt on a daily basis. In caring for her with compassion and enthusiasm, you gave us peace of mind. To Helen and Lauren in the business office and Sara the social worker, you all made our lives easier with your knowledge and expertise. If we could bottle all the admiration and appreciation in the world, it still wouldn’t be enough for all of you that cared for our loved one and/or provided us with information and guidance while we tried to understand this new path that her life had taken. Thank you!

True Excellence in Your Nursing Staff

I want to express my thanks for the wonderful care I received at your rehabilitation facility. As a nurse I can recognize and acknowledge true excellence in your nursing staff and that includes your aides. Your ancillary staff was also outstanding.  Everyone was polite and professional. My room accommodations were of hotel quality. When I expressed a concern, it was listened to and the matter was addressed immediately. Thanks to everyone for their care.
Respectfully submitted,
Patricia H., RN, MA

You are the best!

Thank you so, so much... my mom sounded awesome today and was soooo happy to watch blue bloods.  She told me all about the piano player. I know 100% she is in the right place. You are the best!

An Excellent Overall Experience

The nursing staff were excellent and professional in caring for all my needs. All my aides were great- happy and helpful. Overall, all the nurses and aides did a great job in getting me as well as I could be. The Rehabilitation staff was excellent also.  The Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy departments did an excellent job with me. They made sure I did not cheat in my program.  They were great to work with and helped me to get well. The recreation department was great in the activities they offered. The food we had was excellent.  There was always an excellent menu to choose from. Overall, my stay here for a month was excellent.

The first and only choice

Meet my parents, Bob and Judy. Judy went to the hospital in mid-July, and my dad, Bob admitted a week later. While both were admitted for different medical conditions, they both required sub-acute rehab upon discharge.

My dad has been to Barn Hill in the past and has received excellent care. Of course, to him, it wasn’t even a question of where he wanted to return for rehab. My mom had never been to rehab. This would be a new experience for her.

It was explained to both my parents the precautions being taken for COVID, as well as the 14 day isolation period, during which time, they would not be allowed visitors. Once they both completed their 14 days of isolation, arrangements were made for outside visitation with each other. I was also allowed to visit after the 14 days. Both my sister and I work in healthcare, and knowing the precautions Barn Hill has in place, ensuring the safety of the patients first, made us more at ease having both our parents in a skilled nursing facility.

During this uncertain time, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that my parents were able to speak via telephone, and video chat via FaceTime with each other, my siblings and myself. My parents celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary while at Barn Hill. Their hospitalization and rehab stay, were the longest time that they have been away from each other in all those years! Since they were both off of the 14 day isolation period, the staff arranged for them to have a special dinner. Masks and social distancing were maintained, but the experience will forever be a cherished memory.

Both of my parents are now home and doing great! The care provided by all of the staff was excellent. From nurses, CNAs, and therapy, to dietary and housekeeping, every single person, treated my parents with kindness and respect. They provided comfort when we couldn’t due to COVID restrictions.

While I hope that neither of my parents need to return to Barn Hill in the future, should the unforeseen occur, there is no question that Barn Hill is the first and only choice.
