My Mom has been at the Venetian since February of 2021 and on the whole we’ve been very happy with her care. She has awesome nurses, lead by Unit Manager Ed, Sue, Pat and Peggy are such kind and genuinely caring people. Even the nurses that fill in have been great. CNA’s are great too, Trinia, Rose, Courtney, Bernadette, AB, Roland. Such a tough job, I’m so grateful to them. Lena and Samantha in food services are awesome too. Lena takes good care of Mom, always making sure she has something she likes to eat and always updating me with the new menus to make sure Mom is happy with her meals. The activities department is absolutely wonderful, headed by Annette and Teresa. Especially, during COVID, they worked so hard to make sure the families were able to facetime with the residents and did all they could to make a very difficult time a little better. Teresa would always do her best to schedule visits so that residents could visit with their families as much as possible. The girls in activities are so great, Gladis, Sue, Wendy and Megan. They really try to get the residents involved, with music, games, exercise, bingo, manicures and many other fun activities. Annette is so wonderful, she genuinely cares for the well being and happiness of the residents. There were days where I couldn’t get in for a visit and she would make a point to let me know that Mom had gotten involved with one of the activities and how much fun she had. It made my day! She would also just check in to say hello to Mom and see how she was doing on a daily basis, which I know Mom was not the only one she did this for. It really makes me feel good, that on the days I can’t be with Mom there are kind, caring people looking in on her. I’ve met so many kind people since Mom has been at the Venetian, especially Aisha, former activities member who was promoted. I don’t know what I would have done without her early on and she still makes a point to visit the residents to see how they are doing, even though it is no longer in her job description. The maintenance department is great too, Anthony, Tim & Jules, whenever we’ve had any issues, they come up right away to address it. The receptionists are so nice too, Diane and Esther, always doing whatever they can to help and it’s nice to come in to a friendly face. Thank God for all these wonderful people. My only criticism is that I wish they could hire more nurses and aides. I would hate for Mom to lose the wonderful Nurses and CNA’s she has because they are overworked. These are not easy jobs, both mentally and physically exhausting. A happy employee makes for happy residents and in turn, happy family members. Corporate, please do whatever you can to hire more amazing people and above all keep the amazing people you have, believe me, they are hard to come by and should be rewarded for their hard work. Thank you to all the amazing caregivers at the Venetian, if I missed anyone, I'm so sorry, our family is so thankful to you all and we...

The Venetian Cater Center was home for my loving mother Eunice Wojciechowski , a 70 year resident of South Amboy for well over a year. During that time frame I visited my mom very often as did my other family members. My moms care was at the top end of any facility I had been to in our county. Let me explain that I had alot of experience with several other care facilities as both my parents were in their mid 90's pefore they passed. I also was a trained NJ Volunteer Ombudsman and had visited several other facilities along with the experience of the ones my parents rehabed in during thier lifetime journey. The Venetian was the absolute best. When I say this, I dont mean they passed by any small measure- they were amazing! My mom's life was energized with dignity and loving care till she passed away there in March 2018. The Venitian has excellent management and care staff. Anytime we visited, and that was often, we observed not only my moms care, but the care for others. This is not any easy job and I watched how the staff really worked hard to manage the care of each person as an individual, as a person. The Adminstrators and managers were very kind, considerate and helpful through each step of the journey that was required when a parents life is in decline. My brothers and sister loved that my mom could be at the Venetian Care Center with such well trained caring folks in a beautiful, clean and modern care facilty. My family had care for both my parents at their home for years, but it became unsustainable due to the extreme needs of Edler care. I have experienced so many birthday partys that the Venetian staff happily provide for their residents. The holiday parties and daily activities. Getting old is a difficult process , but I believe the Venetian is offering the very best in care and lifestyle for this period in our life. I always sat with my mom and talked to other resident neighbors there and so many were happy and loved their friends -the nurses and caregivers. I cannot thank the Venetian enough! Even the evening my mom passed they were such a loving force for us. I felt when we left the Venetian with mom, we left a part of my family behind, because they were so kind to us all .....always. Thank you for every day you loved and cared for our mom. Mom's life was enriched by you all and so were ours. Thank you all- we will always be grateful. Terry...
