When I had to get a knee replacement I needed to find a respite to take care of my wife who has…read moreParkinson' disease. I contacted A Place for Mom for recommendations. The Country House first on the list. My wife and I were impressed as soon as we walked in the door. The place was immaculate. The staff was warm and welcoming. The rooms we were shown were perfectly adequate for my wife's simple needs. But just to make sure that we weren't missing out on an even better option we looked at two other facilities. They didn't come close the Country House. So we paid for 2 weeks care with the option of extending if needed. The bottom line is that my wife who vehemently resisted staying in assisted living felt immediately at ease and within a few days she was fully adjusted, made friends with other residents and, most surprisingly, she loved the food! The nurses were attentive to her needs and responded quickly when my wife presses the help button that she given to wear around her neck. With one minor glitch, they provided her 3 times a day with her medications. My wife has difficulty working her cell phone, so they help make calls. It turned out that I needed two additional weeks before I was ready to resume caring for her at home. She was such good hands that I never had to worry about her. That relief was priceless. It is without hesitation that I give The Country House a 5 star rating.

My 89 yo father has been a resident at Ridgefield Station in the Memory Care Unit for approximately…read more9 months as of this writing. Of course, this is always a difficult decision for the family, but, Ridgefield Station has made this process and my father's transition as easy as possible. The staff provides excellent care and the perfect balance of allowing resident independence, while still providing proper oversight. All of the staff that deals with my father (and by extension, the family) has been very kind and caring. While there are many factors that go into making a decision of this magnitude, I would say that for the items Ridgefield Station controls, they do an outstanding execution of a tough job.

The team is caring, competent, and go above and beyond in their kindness to this population. I "pop in" often, always seeing residents engaged in activities, or relaxing in front the of fireplace (electric, of course), or sitting together in the dining room. The Compass Care facility is bright, modern, beautifully furnished, and full of natural light. Unlike others I toured, there no dark hallways or corners with residents slumped on sofas and chairs with no supervision. I cannot imagine a better place for these very special loved ones. I am an extremely demanding person, especially when it come to family, aren't we all, and Ridgefield Station is tops in my book.

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.

I would never place another relative at this facility. My mother was here for several months, and…read morethe care she received was overall decent. But when Medicare decided to cut off my mother's coverage, the staff at Ingraham Manor didn't tell my mother, or myself as her Power of Attorney. They just quietly moved her to their long-term care wing, claiming that "she'd be more comfortable there," and switched her to self-pay status - again, without saying a word to us about it. It took about 10 days for me to find out accidentally when one of the social workers mentioned that my mother was self-paying, and I was absolutely livid! I removed her from the facility a few days later and my mother was forced to pay a very large bill for those 10+ days. Oh, but it doesn't even end there. Nine months later, I received another bill in the mail for an additional $3500 because the billing department at Ingraham Manor had "mistakenly" charged her the wrong rate. I feel so much disgust towards this facility because the whole situation seems like a deliberate and calculated money-grab against an elderly woman who didn't have much money to begin with. These types of practices should be illegal. At the very least, I feel like they are unethical and predatory. Needless to say, I would never again trust anyone at this facility.

He was always treated with the utmost respect and received exceptional care. Everyone from the staff at the reception desk to the office staff to the nursing staff and personal care staff were all wonderful to him and our entire family. In fact we believe that living at the Brandywine in Little Neck extend our Dad's life probably by years.

My mother lived at Brandwine Living at The Savoy for a little under two years prior to her passing…read more I am so grateful for all the incredible people who work there. They treated my mom with respect, love, and good humor. The place is clean, has lovely furnishings and decorations (which my mom always liked!), and a good variety of different places for seniors to visit, sit, and walk. There were always fun events planned for the seniors, including parties, concerts, crafts, movies, Bingo, lectures, and more. I loved receiving a daily email from the facility with information about the menu and events so I could remind mom about fun things to do. As the years progressed, mom had increasingly challenging health issues, but the folks at Brandywine scaled up their support and took such good care of her. I was able to go to work every day knowing that she was in good hands. And I also feel that Brandywine didn't just care for Mom, but they were also so supportive of our family at each stage of my Mom's decline - they were kind, caring, knowledgeable, and served as thoughtful partners in my caregiving. I am especially appreciative of Asif in the Wellness Center, Janet in Customer Care, Lisa (one of the caregivers), Jeremy at the front desk (who put up with my constant phone calls!), Toni in the business office, and everyone else whose names I missed. Each time I drive past Brandywine I miss mom, but I am thankful that she was able to spend her final years of life in the care of such wonderful people. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a caring community for their loved one.

My Father in law has an apartment in Independent Living while both of my parents now live in the Memory Care unit. So we've experienced two different levels of need based care. I've found that the Spring Meadows staffers are very good. The nurses, the aids and even dining room staff really seem to care about the residents and try to make the difference to keep them engaged and make sure they're well cared for. I'll also add that the office staff and the general manager coordinate very well with us, the family members, to help with the details involved of having an aging parent who needs the assistance of this kind of facility. They are always helpful and respond promptly if I call with questions or requests. It's been a blessing to have my parents be able to live at Spring Meadows and get the good care that they need.

We had heard great things about this place...but....I would NEVER recommend Meadow ridge/Ridge…read morecrest to anybody for rehabilitation. If a pretty place and good food is what you want then Meadow Ridge/Ridge Crest is for you. This is a fancy place with below average rehabilitation care. The activities and music performers are great and that was something that my mom enjoyed. However, There is Little to NO communication between Meadow ridge/ ridge crest and family. We requested meetings with the social worker, PT dept, nurses but most items we discussed weren't acted upon. We Requested phone calls when any issues happened or changes with medications, illness, etc. had come up. We did not get any calls except when they were sending her to the hospital. We would leave messages with concerns at the nurses station after numerous tries to speak to someone. We would not get a call back to answer our concerns. After our last call (which was never picked up at the nurses station so we had to leave a voicemail message) about a very serious concern we had noticed about my mom's health we did not get a call back. My mother ended up in the hospital a day later with a very serious infection that was almost fatal. The infection stemmed from another smaller one that could have been diagnosed and taken care of. We chose to send her to a different rehab after she left the hospital which wasn't any better. Care quality at the new place was average on a good day but that's another story. Is there any good care out there? And don't get me started about charging to hold a bed when the resident goes to the hospital. don't do it!!
