Merry Heart of Boonton Township

It’s a shame that I even have to be visiting a nursing home but life is what it is. So dealing with an elderly relative who needs some physical rehab is difficult… we had been to CareOne of Morris previously and she hated them and they were scammy IMO. When it came time to pick a place we picked the one closest to me which happened to be Merry Heart. The facilities are dated that’s for sure. It has an older feel, it has a nursing home smell. But thus far her care has been better here and the staff is friendlier than any of the other places I have seen previously. I don’t think it’s an easy job to have but ultimately if you’re not willing to be patient then it’s not the job for you. Everyone I have dealt with has been patient and helpful.
The one gripe I have is that they have alarms and keypads hooked up to all the stariways in the place to prevent the residents from using the stairs. While this is appropriate and makes sense, no one ever gave me any of the codes to get anywhere, to even get out of the main facility. There should be a better system with that but once I found out the codes all was good.

this is ok as a nursing home… if you are looking for a rehab facility this is not it.
