The kitchen/dining room staff were also good, made an effort to be helpful and flexible. Lenny -- head of facilities -- is great. I was less impressed with some of the nursing staff and administration. Not terrible but... The front porch rocking chairs and the back garden are very pleasant, apartments were fine though there is only 1 ac per unit which means the bedrooms can get very warm in the summer. For some reason the complex doesn't get the TV channel TCM.

Look no further if you're looking for an assisted living facility in the Middletown area. One…read moreMacDonough Place (OMP) is a truly warm-hearted "home" unlike any other. Because it's non-profit, the focus is not on the money, so they don't nickel and dime you like other places; the focus is on the relationships and the care. My mom lived here 4 years, and everyone (and I mean everyone) felt like my own family, from the residents to the staff to the family of the residents. The support system here is marvelous -- my parents made strong friendships with the other residents easily, and I made friends with the residents and family members, so we shared and supported each other better than real family. Try it out; I don't think you'll be disappointed. Just come visit us; it's a different feeling the minute you walk in.

I never ever have written a review on Yelp, but I feel so strongly about Middlewood's of Newington…read morethat I had to take a minute to tell you about our experiences there. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and caring, I mean really caring and sweet. The food is delicious, healthy and there is plenty of it. If residents don't like food they just have to ask and another food will be made for them. There are all kinds of activities and excursions with plenty of staff to help; and they throw some of the best parties I have ever been too. Medical staff is on hand which is very helpful. My grandmother arrived and was very scared (she lived in her home over 65 years) I swear within a day or two she really started to love the place. She has made many friends. What I like best is that we don't have to worry about her. We don't have to spend the weekend, doing laundry, cleaning and help with her showering. We get to spend quality time with her. That's the best feeling in the world. The place has just upgraded the place, new carpets, new paint, new furniture everything is spotless and beautiful Kathy Braga is the Chief Fun Fairy and Director of Middlewood's. She runs a tight ship with lots of love. She makes everything run seamlessly. My grandmother has long term care insurance and they gave us so much trouble to get them to pay for my grandmothers care. Kathy dug in and we got the result we wanted they'd pay for her care. I don't believe that we would have gotten the same conclusion with out her. We love her, we love the place and we are very, very happy.

My mom has been at Middlewoods of Newington for a year now. It is very clean and well kept up and…read morethe staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very comfortable and the hallways resemble a college dorm with small tables of knick knacks and seasonal decorations. My mom gets her hair, nails and pedicures done on the premises. Also on the premises is a geriatric doctor and psychiatrist, both of which my mom sees. There are activities every day and also a van that takes residents to doctor appointments, the store as well as field trips and Wii bowling competitions with other assisted living communities. There's something for every level of care for seniors and I am very happy to have my mom living there.

My mother had to recover from a fall and staff worked closely with my family to make sure that my mother got the care she needed to recover as much of her activities as possible in a safe and appropriate manner. The facility seems more like a Marriott than an assisted living facility. The food is surprisingly good, including wine at dinner. There are smaller private dining areas for family events, which we have used for than once. I could not imagine my mother at any other facility. I sleep well at night knowing my mother is safe and just five minutes away. The pool table is great too... Kent Jarrell
