Southern Ocean Center

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Southern Ocean Center - Genesis Nursing Home!! We moved our mom here on 9/9/25, and from the very beginning we've had such peace of mind knowing how well cared for she is. The staff is fabulous, caring, knowledgeable, and truly compassionate. Being out of state, it means everything to know she’s in such good hands. I’m especially grateful for the kindness of Jeanette Vergara, Madison Margino, Patty Bennert, Greg Benitez, Dean, Beth, Arlo, Tammie, Tracey, Eno Asante, Jeanne, Maria, Shannon, Amanda, Zoe, Venice, Nicki, and Dr. Larkin. I know I’m likely missing others simply because I haven’t had direct contact with everyone, but I’m confident that every single person on the team has been wonderful. The entire staff listens, communicates, and treats

Just wanted to write a review, because to have a family member not home is one of the hardest things to deal with. My father has been a patient for a few weeks, and I have to say every single staff member has gone above and beyond. Even through the different concerns that come up, they’re always right there to correct. The unit manager, nurses, the aids, the therapist, the doctors, nurse practioners and the front desk! All uphold a respect, service, and care that they all should be proud of. not an easy job what they do everyday Thank you, Genesis !

Wow, where do I begin? Was there in late June for 7 days. That was tolerable.Unfortunately I wound up spending 45 days there at the beginning of August.They were always understaffed, the food was terrible. The facility really needs to be updated. It has a 1980 decor. Room cleaning was sporadic.Some of the Nurses really cared, and a few of them seemed like they were there only for a paycheck. Covid also ran rampant during my stay. They did try and isolate it. But it kept spreading. The physical therapy people were great. And the social worker Venus was always very pleasant. The CNA’s seemed overwhelmed with patients, which should be addressed by the administration. Sometimes if you hit your call button you would wait an hour or more which is ridiculous. Even when you needed pain meds this o

I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt but they managed everything bad and poorly. Patient has had a stroke. Not cleared to swallow and what did they do? Gave him medicine by mouth. He choked and wanted to throw it up. Stayed there for 5 days and they never bathed him, cleaned him, changed his sheets or socks. He had a fever and they lied and said he didnt. Didnt change his sheets because they were soaked with sweat. Had him on a diaper and did not clean him at all. There was blood in his pee but they told us to wait til the next day. A doctor from Jersey Shore had to push them to send him to the emergency room. Had an open wound to which they did not care for. Look somewhere else, don't send your loved ones here. They do not give them the care they deserve. You bet we will be loud ab

I could not have been more pleased with my brothers stay at Genesis. From the wonderful and clean atmosphere, to the terrific staff, fantastic physical therapy and occupational therapy and the food!... Every person working there couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful!
