    I was told that there was an apartment available for my mother for April and that some renovations…read morestill needed to be completed. I filled out the application and submitted the needed information and my mother was approved. As the week's progressed I kept asking for a move in date. Finally after 3 weeks, I said I needed a move in date and was told at that time that it would be mid June. I was extremely disappointed with how I was misinformed about an apartment that was not going to be ready. Had I been told that this apartment wouldn't be ready until June, I wouldn't have left work early on 2 separate occasions, spent time and effort on filling out a 30 plus page application and submitting countless bank statements. I also stopped looking for an apartment for my mother. What a waste of time. I would never recommend or do business with this establishment ever again.

    My great-grandfather lived here for the last years of his life. I used to come visit him here when…read moreI was 6. Now, 30+ years later, I have many family members living here. I visit them between once and twice a week. I have seen many of the units in here, have eaten the food, met many of the people, rode in the elevators and can give a pretty good review of this place since I've seen other "old folks" homes. Most of the residents in Tower One are Jewish. Ever since HUD took over, the Jewish community within the towers is getting smaller with other groups moving in. While I'm sure it's a great place to live if you're Jewish like my family, I would feel like an outsider if I wasn't Jewish. Many of the units have been renovated. They look absolutely great and have been modernized. The older units are "old". They look like they are from the 70's. Either way, if you are living in Tower One, you have to get the meal plan which is six dinner meals per week except for Saturday because of the Sabbath. The food isn't half bad, but it is bland and people often complain about the food. There are several options. Over the past three years, I have noticed a significant decrease in the quality of the food in the dining hall. The food for breakfast and lunch is actually pretty good. (remember it is all kosher) The dinner is dairy free and the breakfast/lunch is meat free. The best part about living in Tower One / Tower East is the staff. From the administrators to the Security to the wait staff, they are all top notch. They know everyone's name in the entire building, so if you're not a regular or a resident, they will know instantly. If you live on certain floors, you need to purchase Utopia services which is like assisted living. There is a minimum charge, and extra hours can be purchased. The price to live here seems expensive, however when you break it down, it's actually not that bad. Units in Tower One which include the six meals run from $1300 for a studio to $2000 for a one bedroom. This is the total cost with everything included besides phone/cable.

    The care of the nursing and aid staff were amazing BUT the administration, especially the social…read moreservices department, specifically one individual who shall remain nameless but she knows who she is failed my poor mom. The center released my mother who was recovering from hip surgery to her home where she has absolutely no care. They said they would assist in getting her on Medicaid and she would be in a " pending" status until she was approved which meant she would be allowed to stay until the application was complete and approval accepted. This would have allowed us to get someone into her apartment to care for her. Now she is literally left alone while I myself, her daughter, recovers from surgery and my brother tends to her, his family and his job. It's nearly impossible and we are afraid for the safety of our mother. If the administration would have listened to us and guided us sooner and better and not just say they handed my brother a packet ( but didn't) and hadn't been so condescending, I believe our mother would have been in a much better position by now. We are afraid.

I was happy with the majority of the staff. There was one nurse in charge of meds that shouldn't have been. She couldn't answer any questions and had no personality. I don't like to single out 1 staff member but she continued to give my mom Miralax when she had diarrhea. Due to this bringing her home turned into a fiasco of her sobbing while "it" was pouring out of her. It's not a prescription, you can't check or make that decision on your own! How is someone like that in charge of dispensing medications?

    **Turnbridge saved my daughter**…read more My daughter was at Turnbridge for just under two months. Before she went there she was beginning to head down the wrong path. So we decided this program was what she needed to get back on track. In the beginning it was very hard for her to adjust to being there. She kept calling and was crying and said she wants to come home and made promises to change. Myself and my family and her mother encouraged her to hang in there and to try and block out the negativity. She tried to manipulate and come up with statements that weren't necessarily true. She ended up getting a new counselor/clinician quickly and got to work with Alissa. It took her almost a month to get fully adjusted and accept that she needed to really work on what she said she originally went there for which was substance use and also mental health. We began to notice that as time went on she wasn't asking to come home anymore when she made her calls to us each night. Her mood slowly started to improve. She became invested in bettering herself and did the assignments that were asked of her. Both myself and her mom participated in family therapy sessions and we began to notice that she was starting to put the work in to better herself. In addition, she was also learning about herself and how she is around other people. We got word that the treatment team wanted to do neurological testing to get some answers on some behavioral concerns they observed. The results of the neurological testing were a game changer! They showed that my daughter has Autism, which looking back explained a lot about her behavior, but because she masked her symptoms and feelings we couldn't tell for sure. She was accepting of this diagnosis. And now we can figure out how to best support her going forward. My daughter graduated and successfully completed Turnbridge Residential in Woodbury, CT on 9/12/25. Words can't expressed how thankful my family and my ex (her mom) are that she went to Turnbridge. It was rough in the beginning, but she made it through. My parents and my ex (her mom) and their family noticed during the visits how much my daughter has grown and changed for the better. Parents realize that the key for success if they send their child there is for the individual to put the time and effort in and that will bring success. My daughter learned that a lot of the things she was saying about Turnbridge and what was going on were things she was building up in her own mind. Special special thanks and shoutouts go to Justin and Alissa!!! They were and are amazing and caring and wanted my daughter to succeed!!! They helped my daughter so much and gave her skills she can use in the future!!! Thanks to Chelsea for your support as well with everything! Thank you Dr. Minhas, Tammy Platt and Dr. Colwell!! Both Justin and Alissa expressed how proud they are of my daughter with how successful she was while in the program. I've been in the social work field for 24 years and have worked in residential programs in NJ. To parents who are wondering about whether to have your loved one go to Turnbridge for help, definitely give them consideration and a chance. My daughter is now happy and in a better place because of Turnbridge!

    My father was at Mary Wade for months and we had multiple incidents that put his health and life in…read morejeopardy. The overnight nurse staff belittled my father and disregarded his health on numerous occasions. I had to call the ambulance multiple times from which he was admitted and held for a period of times, and they were all because of things that were neglected from his health at Mary Wade. Molly, the social worker, is unhelpful and patronizing. She didn't return phone calls or let me know about important meetings that regarded my father and decisions in his care. This is particularly bad because if you can't rely on the social worker for help then you are on your own. They cut his diuretics which is very dangerous due to his heart failure and he ended up in the hospital. When the Yale doctor told me what Mary Wade wrote on the notes it said "patients urinates too much". The head of nursing was extremely rude, and when my father was hospitalized for the flu, she blamed the fact that he got it on himself. He fell multiple times and became in a weakened state. This facility is one of the worst my father has been in, it looks "nice" for a nursing home inside, but the staff is dangerous to the patients health. My father has been in more than one nursing home for rehab and we have never experienced the issues we did here anywhere else. Physical therapy is a joke here and barely worked with him. The head of physical therapy Beatrice is the biggest issue and they don't work with patients enough to help them get well. My father went to Hamden health care after Mary Wade for two weeks and was able to transfer and become mobile in just those two weeks he was there. He was at Mary Wade FOR MONTHS. Will be reporting to the board of health.

You can go in and see the wheel chairs lined up in front of a tv with no aides, nurses or anyone watching them. The food is terrible and the people that need help in being fed are the last ones to eat while they watch other people. The aides are lazy, mean and demeaning both to the residents and their families.
