Parker is a nonprofit, NJ-based aging services organization with over 110 years' of experience, that is committed to changing perceptions of aging, empowering older Americans, and making aging part of life. Opened in late 2014, Parker at Monroe provides round-the clock, person-directed nursing care services, including memory care for individuals with all stages of dementias, who may also have complex physical needs. The campus consists of six “Small Homes” connected to a Community Center. Sixteen residents with similar needs reside in each Small Home. The buildings and programs are designed to promote independence, dignity, and a sense of community among our residents.
We visited a few different places before making the decision to move my mother to Parker at Monroe. It was the right thing to do. Since moving mom I have been able to sleep at night knowing that she is being so well taken care of. I can't say enough wonderful things about everyone on the staff - from the nurses, to the amazing recreation people, to the chef and other caregivers. Caring is what they are and it shows.

My experience is of 2 kinds—witnessed and contrasted. Years ago, my great Uncle, Judge Klemmer Kalteissen spent his final years happily on Landing Lane. I witnessed the dignity and respect with which he was treated, and the personalization with which he was regarded. Years later, his wife, my Aunt Mildred Kalteissen spent her final years across the river where I noticed there was no diminution of dignity when she became less able to think clearly. Fast forward to the next generation, and my father—who sadly in his old age lacked the charm and kindness of his earlier years, but he worshipped his Uncle Klemmer (Dad was once his law clerk!) he only wanted to get back to eLanding Lane. Dad had problems he could keep hidden during his professional years, but eluded him later. I’m embarrassed that his anger and resentment sometimes lashed out against the most competent, compassionate, and skilled nurses I’ve known. Still they continued to speak to him as an adult with a god-given right to compassionate care. Now my generation...the failure. I’m embarrassed so that I lived like an aging flower child, “professional volunteer” until I became a teaching professor at Rutgers. Now I find myself in a Nursing Home (NOT PARKER!) where I see what’s left when you take the goodness, compassion, competence, the HEART and the SCIENCE Parker perfected. It’s all the difference I the world. If you can swing it, do it.
