Mansfield Center for Nursing

My father is in Mansfield Center for Nursing. One thing I like most is there is longevity with the staff. Both my dad and mom had been there for rehab years ago, and there's a lot of the same people there and they remember them. They're great with communicating with family. We have a meeting once a month or so with the whole team to see how my father is doing, and we really appreciate that too. It's beautiful, clean, and welcoming. It's a nice combination of very homey and yet clearly efficient as well. They have lots of activities ranging from live music to ice cream socials, to crafts, and library talks. There's such a wide variety of activities and other amenities. They have nice places to walk to outside, and nice gazebos. It's like a park-like setting. They listen to his likes, dislikes, and needs. They have a nice mix of food and they chop his food for him so that he can eat it more easily. They have snacks when they need it, too. It's just wonderful. The price is about the same as anywhere else. We're certainly getting a lot for our money, so I would say the value is great. We know that skilled nursing facilities are not cheap, but it's about the same price as the others we looked at, and I think it's fine.

There are two levels in this center and, if I remember correctly, two wings on each level. The nurses, recreation staff, nursing assistants and even the janitorial staff in each area are very nice. The staff was helpful and quick to respond to residents' requests and call lights. Some rooms are double and some are private, all are very homey and many of the residents have made their rooms look like home. This facility has a lot of activities including bingo and community mealtimes for the residents and other opportunities for them to socialize. The location is very nice and there is a great outdoor space with sidewalks (handicapped accessible) and benches where family or volunteers can take residents for a visit. I did not have a family member staying in this facility but visited on several occasions as a volunteer while I was in college at the University of Connecticut about 20 minutes away.
