Review for Carriage Green at Milford

Staff were terrific at getting to know my mother-in-law and her visitors. They provided consistency as she needed it more and more. Her apartments (she moved to the Memory Care unit) were well kept, the facilities team did a great job making her 2nd apartment look just like her first one.

Review for Blenheim-Newport

Able to text staff on any issues. Due to severe vision issues from macular degeneration the staff of CNA were reluctant to help things such as with dialing numbers or help with assisting in finding items she could not see that dropped. Or ensuring she has everything she needs at night such as water, remote for tv, light on, know where the slippers are, etc. They say it is not their job but yet the person I dealt with said they should do that. Food was great there.

I liked the outdoor view and scenery, and it was in a good location for us to be able to visit often. Its a lovely place. Its a bit tough with a lot of the employees not speaking great English, but I understand that's common in this industry. They are great with all the different activities they do and mini field trips they do.

Our families experience

The overall idea of the community, most people are friendly, the whole dining room dinner reservation thing is weird to me and many others, very poor communication between administrators, nursing , PT department & aides that assist my husband. So yes improve communication and be available , are there care plans that each aide can follow to keep things consistent with each individual?

A 4 will be my max rating as Robbins Brook is a first. NA is for insufficient experience. The food looks good but haven't sampled. My wife is not a regular participant of the activities. What we like the most about the community is the convenience to home and friendliness of staff. However, they need to track clothing better

Review for The Village At Willow Crossings

My only comment and my only reason why I don't give it a five is because you do ask for things to be done and they don't get done. Like maintenance things is what I'm referring to. I would recommend it to others for sure my father loves it. My father really does love the place and we looked for a year and a half. So we put a lot of time and effort into finding a place that he felt was comfortable and also we talked to people who lived there and we did not hear one negative comment from anybody. And that really made a big difference in my father's decision also. Knowing that other people had struggled with the decision, like he was, and how much they felt it improved their life.

They would read each other.[name removed] was forced to hire an aid 12 hours a day, private pay, to stay at the facility. Therapy private aid did most of the work for [name removed] Showed, cleaning, washing clothes, etc. he went through his money pretty fast. Some of the aids would not go out of their way to help. RE: if the aid was watching the patients, she would sit and watch. She would not get up from her chair to unlock the door to the laundry room behind her. My family member had dementia behaviors. I feel he should have received meds to help him.
