About Branch Brook Park Manor

  Tucked beside the largest collection of cherry blossom trees in the nation, Branch Brook Park Manor boasts historic significance, natural beauty, and high-quality care. Newark, New Jersey, was settled in 1666 by the Puritans, giving the city a rare sense of historical character. Turn-of-the-century buildings grace the wide, tree-lined streets of the quaint Forest Hill Neighborhood where Branch Brook Park…

They have been very accommodating to the specific & individual needs of each patient. They are very mom & pop shop-like vs a big organization with a factory-feel. They provide a very personalized experience and are very flexible. Branch Brook is not a great facility for someone who needs a lot of care. It's better for someone who needs a medium amount of care. The people that move there should have some level of mental soundness. Overall it's been a good experience.

excellent

Branch Brook Park Manor is excellent. They are very attentive. They actually got my my grandmother up walking again. I know for a fact that she wouldn't have been up walking if she would have stayed at the rehab center. The staff gives very individualized and personalized attention. I talked to her just today and asked her how things are going and she literally said that she loves it there. She is always clean when I come visit and her surrounding are clean. The other residents are clean too. I never announce when …

Critical

Satisfied with what I heard, not sure about the care they provide. I like the staff, it wasn't may people on staff, I like the proprietary and her assistance, Didn't like that was dark, they have been hiding something, I didn't like the fact that the residence that didn't go to they were just sitting there watching a TV and all looked sedated and had their heads down. Most were Alzheimer's patients.

It is located in an urban area and close to mass transportation. The house is clean and inviting. If you are looking for a place that is full with residents for your loved one to be around then this is the place to keep them socially busy. The owner and operator offers private rooms and home cooked meals. Depending on what you are looking for this may be the place for you.

Like a club, but not "clubby"!

Once my mom no longer felt at home at our house, she actually chose Branch Brook herself by following everyone at her daycare site onto their jitney bus at the end of the day. I think it reminds her of her early life in Newark, which eases her mind. Though Branch Brook is in a brownstone with stairs, she goes right up and down. Branch Brook is actually designed for dementia patients of all kinds and everyone there has training regarding the disorder as well as their therapeutic specialties. You owe it to yourself a…
