I visited this facility

I wouldn't send a loved one to this facilty after seeing the care my husband experienced. He sat not once but twice in his own fecal matter for two hours before someone changed him. Being a tracheostomy patient they claimed to know what they were doing but he ended back in the ER of JFK do to the lack of knowledge of the staff and they would not admit negilgence.

Rats in patient bedroom

While visiting with my father in his room there was a big rat running around the room. I rate this location DISGUSTING AND UNSANITARY! There is also a trap for cockroach.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My husband has been in Hartwyck at Oak Tree for five years now. They have a very thorough staff on board, and they make sure they take care of his needs. They are very efficient with everything there, and they make sure they include him for activities, not only on the floor he's on, but also the floor above him. The facility has three floors, and it's usually two people per room. One floor shares the PT center and rooms. As you go up it's just the rooms, and there's a recreation room on each of …

Unfortunate experience

Very sub par care. I am a board certified physician and shudder to think about my father here. He is a positive person and doesn’t find fault- but his care is terrible. Nurses are arrogant and simply want a paycheck. This is really not a place for loved ones. Please reconsider!

I am/was a resident of this facility

I lived at Hartwyck for one year after a severe TBI in 2001-02. The staff was excellent and were responsible for my unbelievable recovery. I was provided every opportunity to make improvement in every area a daily living. I was part of the transitional living program at the hospital. All therapies were provided to insure success. I have retired and moved to a warmer climate and now walk with a cane outside, but no cane inside the house. I drive a car and can care for myself. THANK YOU ALL!
