Key Review Excerpts
“Merwick Rehabilitation is your best option in Mercer County. Staff is reliable, professional and empathetic. Their dignified approach to patient care is the highest standard.”
“The physical therapy is excellent and the nursing staff are dedicated caregivers. However, I believe the experience would be improved by having a designated point of contact.”
