The Connecticut Department of Social Services case worker has requested some financial records. I have left voicemails and sent an email to the Business Director with no response.

The high ceilings, large windows and cheerful staff really make for a positive environment. I toured this facility with my mother and we found an impressive monthly calendar full of fun & interesting daily events (both on-site and elsewhere via their bus). They have lots of common areas for group activities like baking, knitting, card games, socializing, etc. They also have a chapel, beauty parlor, game room, full size kitchen for large/group baking projects, private dining room, library, computer room and more. The resident rooms are nicely renovated with updated appliances and handicap-accessible bathroom amenities. There is also a full rehab facility (Ahlbin Center) located downstairs, including a water therapy pool. Great facility overall! (Too bad the only other reviewer "D.D." didn't seem to get past the parking lot... The parking lot was perfectly fine last week!)

It was an awful experience for our father and entire family. There is not enough staffing to care…read morefor the amount of patients. My father needed to go to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing. The nurse kept turning off his alert and saying "be patient, I have to do my rounds, I'll be in when I'm finished". Three hours later my dad was having a seizure, the nurse realized it was an emergency and called the ambulance. The nurse later said he peeked in the room and observed what he thought were "hiccups" so he continued his rounds. Our father is still in the hospital 2 weeks later. I only gave the 1 star because it was a requirement to post review, otherwise I would've given zero stars.

My mom was in independent living but needed more care. She is now in assisted living. The place…read moreis in lock down, so you have visitation rights only. She can't leave and can only see family in an open area supervised by the staff for 30 minutes. This is somewhat based on Connecticut provisions (they can't restrict you from leaving, but have no practical way of quarantining upon return). The cost is over $100k a year! They charge for support based on what they may or do have to do, each support item costs more money based on tranches of support. You have no control of the assessment and cost and they also charge for breakfast and lunch, $1000 per month. It feels like they get you into the program and are stuck, and it's terribly disruptive to move an elderly person, so it's a very difficult situation. I think that they are caring and kind, but the cost is just out of control.

I reviewed and walked the premises of six different facilities and by far this establishment was the best in my opinion. There's a few reasons why, and I will explain. First off the staff, starting from Janelle and Courtney to the nurse Erin including all the aids made our family feel as though we were part of their family. It's a small establishment which I really appreciated. It made Mom feels though she was actually at home. In closing I want to give thanks to everybody at this establishment that made my mother's final days very peaceful.

Topping my list was to find a facility that felt more like a community, with comfortable living quarters, engaging activities, and supportive health services. After one visit to Pomperaug Woods, it was clear that we had found the ideal place, a community where mom would be a valued resident, supported and cared for with respect and compassion. Mom did not lose her independence by moving to an assistance-in-living facility; rather she moved into a community whose supportive amenities free her to live a more engaging life.

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.
