They're not doing any type of rehab for him but feeding him, so I'm not really happy. They changed his medication without me knowing, and as far as his dressing, he has infection in his toe, and it might have to be amputated. They went and changed that, but I didn't know anything about that, so it's a problem. I am not really happy with them right now. It proved to me that looks could be deceiving. They tell you what you want to hear, but they don’t do anything.

While under his care my father ended up with one collapsed lung and after I pleaded to exam him. Eventually my dad was rushed to the hospital to intensive care where he passed away. I wish I would have gotten my father out of there sooner. Do not put your loved one here especially if he or she needs extra medical attention. Initially I read the reviews for Parker Jewish and was upset by the low ratings and negative reviews. However, from the moment we stepped foot through the doors I was impressed and have no complaints after a month plus here.

Primary Care Provider: NP/PA-Overnight Shift

I saw my mother's iliostomy bag allowed to explode and cover her with feces. I saw people slip out of their wheelchairs. If your elderly person can speak up they will be sitting at a table all day screaming and yelling and calling for help. God help the poor people in this place.

I sure hope this review will have someone take a long look at the care and respect that is displayed to their patients. Parker also provides community and inpatient hospice, adult day care, home health care, long-term care, caregiver support, and other community health services. Located in New Hyde Park, Parker Jewish Institute is a nationally-awarded, 527-bed center for health care and rehabilitation, providing a wide range of community health programs. My mom was a resident at Parker for several years.

Physical Therapist

The social worker at Parker was rude on the phone and focused on irrelevant mis-information to determine that they could not care for the patient. After speaking with the social worker, I agree that they can't care for the patient. There is no way I would leave her with them. If this is any indication of the care the patients get there, I would stay as far away as possible from Parker. My father was a recent patient at Parker Jewish Institute and the care he received was excellent.

They had quite a few activities for the residents, they had a gym where they did PT and OT. They also had a cafeteria, gift shop, a family room, and a list of recreational activities. So every day they have different types of recreational activities. Medicare would be paying for 80% of the cost. Staff of nurse practitioners, nurses, and other healthcare staff are available to answer questions, with access to staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Comprehensive Community Hospice

The staff is also very good and she has a shared room there. Aside from a shared room, they also have private room options. They provide OT, PT, and speech therapies.

He took out his PICC out of his arm, and he was not X-rayed for that, so it was just a lot of negligence going on. Bottom line is they need to be trained better, and they need more staffing. They're very nice people, but as far as what the patients need, they're not getting it. My name is Nicole, my grandmother went to the rehab in Parker for PT, she was in extreme pain so they raised her pain medication so high she was delusional and lethargic. The staff was horrible and spoke in a disrespectful manner to my grandmother a few times when they didn’t know a family member was in the phone.

Registered Nurse (RN) - Med Surg - Full Time - Nights

They let you lay there to rot and only come when absolutely necessary like to bring you the food. It's always 100 degrees so make sure you go in shorts and a tee shirt. You can't talk to anyone and get an answer.

Everyone just ignored it but now I feel someone should''ve looked into it. I feel like my grandfather was treated okay, but based on these reviews and subsequent responses to the reviews, I wouldn''t bring my loved one here. Before I saw the responses, I was about to give 4 stars.

She was considered too much work even though this place says it is rated highly. The nursing staff is overworked and truly do not show any compassion for these people. I saw food shoved down patients throats.

The have a virus C-dificile running around and they don't tell you at admittance. If you catch the virus they tell youi that you shouldn't have come to Parker since they post a note on the front door that they have an uncontrolled virus in the facility. Of course patients come into the facility frpom LIJ hospital and not through the front doee so they really have no plan to inform incoming patients about the deadly virus. I'd give this place no stars if I could.

She was confronted with many health issues and the staff took great care of my mom from the aides, nurse managers, doctors to social workers. The hospice staff was especially kind and understanding keeping us informed as necessary. There is nothing better for a family to know that they can go home knowing their loved ones are cared for. I am the relative of a person who needed short-term physical therapy.

The other day I needed help with my father, and I was ringing the bell for half an hour before someone even came out to help me. I talked to the manager, and they are going to do training for the nurses and the certified nursing assistants so they'll know how to deal with Alzheimer's and dementia patients. They need to have people who understand them. He had a fall, but I didn’t get a phone call. He's an elderly person, and he should have been X-rayed, but he was not.

I''ve spent countless hours calling for the purpose of conveying specific information about my father, as well as looking for updates on his condition. However, no one ever picks up the phone. In the rare instance that I''ve had an actual human being pick up, he/she could not provide any information, yet promising to call me back, which never happened. If THAT wasn''t enough, a medical procedure was performed on him WITHOUT contacting me . This was due to a nurse breaking the dialysis port into him, which no one bothered to relay to me either.

It is the worst health care facility I have ever seen and I have been to plenty as a patient and caregiver. The staff is completely unresponsive to both patients and family members. I am not even confident my father has been given the meds he needs to survive, and I have been waiting over an hour to speak to a nurse.
