My mom will be moving into Somerford House & Place of Newark. I liked that it was clean and quaint and had kind of a nice setting. It was a nice-looking place and it had friendly people. It seemed like a good place to put my mother in. The rooms had various sizes. The largest would be a 2-bedroom apartment, with sort of an open layout. And the smallest was a studio, which was a single room with a bathroom, a closet, and a cubby for putting a bench and maybe a television. The staff was very friendly, and attentive, trying to make sure that we got all our questions answered, and he's been very responsive, too.

Somerford House & Place of Newark was very nice. The staff was very welcoming. They seemed to know their residents really well. The biggest reason why we did not choose them was the location and the apartment setup. They had a large room that two people could absolutely live in, but it didn't have separate rooms. They had assisted living and memory care. The person who took me around was great. They had a mini fridge and a microwave in the room.

I toured several places and I was very happy with Somerford House & Place Newark. It's very bright and the staff is very friendly. The programs and the way that they run the memory care facility are excellent. I'm happy with the staff, the appearance, the cleanliness, and the programs they have. Some of their programs in the memory care facility are based onn the Montessori teaching methods, which is something that I thought was impressive. They have music therapists that come in and play instruments with and for the residents, which is important to my dad because he was a musician. We find their pricing to be very reasonable.

I'm familiar with the Somerford House and Place of Newark only because my friend's mother lived there for a period of time. Most of the residents at the Somerford were extremely elderly. Everyone I saw was in a wheelchair. Nobody was able to communicate with us. So I just didn't think that she would be comfortable there because of the level that she's at right now. It looked kind of run down. I toured it about two weeks ago. I didn't think the upkeep was great in comparison to what it had been ten years ago when my friend's mother was there. They didn't have any real opportunities other than a couple of rocking chairs outside. I didn't see any area where they could walk around, and there was no gym. There was really no opportunity for people who are still more physical. It was clean. The furniture was kind of old and outdated, but it seemed clean.

My mother is in Somerford House & Place of Newark. It's clean and homey. The staff is great and very loving. The food is great, too. The dining area has hallways, and it's like a neighborhood. They have the same people eating together, and they get to communicate and enjoy each other. They have Bingo, beanbag toss, church study group, music, and entertainment and a happy hour with wine every Friday. I've been very happy with it. Mom likes the food, and they have a menu that they can pick from. The staff members are cuddling, they give her hugs, and they seem to care. She's very happy there.

My dad lived at Somerford House & Place of Newark. It's spacious but I didn't like anything about them. I didn't care for it. I feel like they're understaffed and they are not equipped to handle somebody with advanced dementia. I'm not angry with them or anything like that, but I do not recommend them for people with dementia. They need to improve on the staffing. They called my dad a different name and they didn't even really know his name. It was really kind of terrible. Appearance-wise, it's clean and it looks good, but they tell you one thing and do something else. Dementia is a very all-over-the-place thing, but they expect all of their memory patients to be on a set schedule. That's not how it works if somebody has that illness. I know how unpredictable dementia is and I dont feel that they do. The staff is not trained properly to handle somebody with memory problems. I feel that their staff needs more training and experience in my dad's illness.
