Carolyn E.B. Leeuwenburgh of Princeton
Ten years ago, I wrote a letter to tell you of a “diamond in the rough” in Princeton: Merwick House on Route 206. I had spent two weeks there recovering from a hip replacement and was highly impressed with the treatment there.
A few weeks ago, my husband had a knee replacement and needed physical therapy to assist his recovery. He chose Merwick because of the successful treatment I had experienced. How amazed we were to see Merwick was even better than 10 years ago. The equipment was up to date and effective.
But the crowning glory was the care of the staff. Not only did they know what they were doing, as one would expect, but their caring attitude was exemplary. They encouraged, praised and paid attention to personal details. They accomplished amazing rehabilitation in a rather short time. They investigated home environment in order to execute treatment, which would work at home, such as immediate use of the stairs.
Merwick has been criticized for being too old. Well, it’s not too old for successful treatment. I applaud the dedication and kindness of doctors, nurses and physical therapists who care so much at Merwick.
