Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull

Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull was very nice. The rooms were very nice. The grounds were nice. They had activities, and they had plenty of outdoor seating. The staff was very nice, and we talked to some of the residents there. The apartment had a full bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a big bathroom. It was very spacious. I would live there. I, my husband, and my son each had one cookie, and they were good. They have exercise classes and movies. It was nice and clean.

My grandmother is in the assisted living side of Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull. The place is very friendly and they seem to have a lot of activities going on all the time with a lot of people usually attending. It's nice to see that everybody gets out of their room and does things. She says that everybody is very friendly and it's not hard to have friends there. The staff is very nice and if there's ever a problem, they contact us right away. If there are any kind of updates, they're always calling and updating us with any little thing so communication has been pretty good. I haven't tried their food but my grandmother said that it's not terrible. She said it's fine and it's decent with some meals being better than the others but she's also very picky. I've seen the food and it looks good. They have a pool, bingo, happy hour, movie days, and movie nights, and they always have parties for any holiday where they do big things in their main hall. I'm not sure of anything else, but I know that they have a lot of things. My grandmother just can't attend that many yet because she's supposed to be non-weight bearing. She needs the maximum care so it is quite expensive for what she needs but I think what she gets from it is pretty fair.

Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull was very nice and they were very accommodating. We went there twice because my mom had to see it twice. It's the one she ultimately chose. We saw their assisted living. I only saw two communities and both were good. I would say Middlebrook Farms offered my mother a little more in the future than the other one, that's why it was chosen. What I liked most is that they had the most to offer now and in the future. In other words, if my mother's level of care should change, they can accommodate it more than the other facilities. It smelled good and looked good. Everything seems to be operating well. We saw 2 different staff. We saw a bunch of people there and everyone was very friendly. The dining room was very nice. We also saw the activities room, the arts and crafts room, the library, the movie theater, a chapel, and their outdoor area. The living atmosphere seemed very friendly.

I like Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull. They had a lot of activities that they did with the people. The hallway was wider than other places. They had certain areas that were designed and one was like a wedding scene. I think one of the people that stayed there was a seamstress or did something with wedding dresses; everything that had to do with that was out on display on a table. I guess people can walk by and look at it and talk about it. The staff was great, very informative and very caring. I really liked that place the best. They take them out to different places. They're always doing things with them.

My dad is currently a resident of Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull. I'm not sure if I could say anything good; I would suggest to others that they highly investigate the offerings that they're giving to their parents and what level of medication they're subscribed to. Most of the residents in that area where my father is are purely medicated, and sitting in chairs, and not moving around. And that's very disturbing for us. The facility itself definitely needs repairs. They started to do it before COVID hit, and they're doing bits and pieces, but it's still looking very tired and worn out. There are several nurses that we've had positive relationships with. However, the head nurse and the head coordinator for the memory care, we've had severe difficulty communicating with them with their inability to respond to our calls or emails, and lack of feeling that they took our concerns seriously. When they say that they're going to do certain things for your family member and they don't, it's very heartbreaking. My father has been a resident of their memory care. The location is fine, I feel like it's sort of tucked away from the road, but they did that out of safety purposes for the residents. The grounds are always well-maintained, and they could walk around the building before COVID, but they haven't been doing that obviously. Some of the nurses I would rate a five, but the general administration I would rate a two.

My grandmother moved into Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull. We just liked its location, and she knew some people there already. Our move-in experience went fine. The staff is very friendly, and she loves the food. The facility is beautiful, very spacious, and very appealing to the eye.

We liked Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull, but my mother is not ready at this point. The woman who gave us the tour was very good. We liked her a lot. It was a nice place, and the rooms were nice, and pretty large. They're in the process of renovating. My mother liked it better than the other place we visited. The dining area seemed fine. They had one room for all the activities. They go on shopping trips once a week and they go to the casino or different places like that. If you want to go somewhere specific you can suggest trips to them.

I toured Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull. It was good, financially it was competitive with the others, it needed some updating, but it seemed like a well-run facility. The staff was helpful, very professional, the dining room looked fine, and I think they had some puzzles set up, and they had a movie theater and a gym.

Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull is fine in all aspects. It's attractive and fabulous. I give the workers a compliment every time I see them. They are doing a wonderful job. The staff is warm and friendly. The dining room is most inviting. I cannot think of anything that is missing. My wife's room is small by our choice and sufficient for all of the activities that she enjoys in the room, which is primarily dressing and sleeping. She is with her good friends in memory care the rest of the time. The only area that needs help is the driveway, which is a bit worn, but the rest of the structure and the surroundings are well cared for. I couldn't ask for a nicer environment.

Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull's rooms are all great. They have physical therapy rooms, many activities, and the staff is fabulous. My mother-in-law is a resident here.

We went to Middlebrook, but we didn’t get very far as it was too much money. The dining room looks very nice, big, and convenient. It looked like everybody was busy when we visited.

Middlebrook is a lovely facility and very clean. Mom had a very nice lunch there. The people we met were very nice. I had a tour, and they were very nice and offered a lot of activities. They invited her to come back and offered to pick her up at her home, which was very nice. The rooms were very nice, and the people were lovely. They have an exercise pool, a chapel, and a baking cookies activity when they got there, and they do offer trips. They do have a bus that take them shopping too.

We toured Middlebrook Farms, and it had a beautiful, luxurious feel. We loved the dining room. It was beautifully decorated and had a country club feel with beautiful tables and decor. There was a list of menus displayed before you walked in with many choices. Your family can come and visit and have lunch with you. It was beautiful, sunny and open. The rooms were spacious. They're building a pub where the residents can socialize. While we were there, a lady was reading a newspaper to the residents sitting around in a circle, and I loved that! They were socializing and discussing what's happening in the current news. The staff was unbelievable. The sales person was a super friendly, warm, inviting, and chatty person. While walking around, a physicial therapist introduced herself to us and welcomed us to the community. She said she would be working with us if we decided to stay at the facility, and then a nurse walked out of the apartments as we were walking by, and she engaged us in conversation and was joking with my father and mother-in-law. I only have great things to say.

Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull seemed a little bit older. The hallways were a little bit narrower than the other facilities we had visited. The rooms were very nice. The programs they had were very good. The facility has woods surrounding it so there was less sunlight. It did not feel as open and bright as the other facilities we had been to.

Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull was a very nice facility. It was very clean and homey. I met with a number of the staff there, and they were all very nice and very knowledgeable, but I wasn’t able to choose this facility because the only available room they had in the memory care unit was a very small room, and I was looking for something a little bigger.

I had visited Middlebrook Farms and I felt like it was a home and every person there was a member of the family. Everyone seemed happy and friendly. There was a lot of stuff going on to keep them busy. A van took a group of men out on Wednesday nights and they keep them quite active. They wanted to know what interest you had, what you like and made sure that when you got there, whatever you were interested in, you could continue to do. They seemed to take a real personal interest. They were really nice and the rooms were very nice. I found their director, Bryan, to be extremely personable. He took me around and introduced me to everyone on staff. He knew everybody's name. They don’t' had a lot of turn over. The workers had been there 8, 10 and 12 years. In fact, when I left, I said: "Bryan, the heck with my father, I'm gonna come live here". It was a great place and Bryan is a great. In fact, I sent him a thank you card saying that: "Boy you are perfect for this job" and he called me up and thank me for the card. He said: "Nobody ever sends me a thank you card for a tour". Going there and seeing that, it was a very positive experience. I know that my father would be very happy.

Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull is actually quite good. We are actually very happy with it. The staff is very attentive, which we greatly appreciate. They have more activities than any of the places that we have seen. People would come in and perform and they have music at least once or twice a month. They also have all sorts of normal games for them. Nothing is unusual in terms of amenities but all are in very good condition. They do have some rehab pool there that she does not use but they do have them.

I think Middlebrook Farms is fine. My in-laws are there. The place is clean. The people are friendly, accommodating, and they've been very nice so far. I would surely recommend this facility.

The people at Middlebrook Farms are very warm and welcoming. The whole experience was really great. There is really nothing that they could have done better. They tried their best to convince my mother to go. But she's just not ready.

Wrong meds, wrong times or no med's at all. Health Department has been there 2 times this month.The building is quarantined! Residents are told to stay in their rooms and are given cold food made in the closed kitchen. They treat residents like children and play hangman as activity. Outings are to Target and Stop and Shop.They make promises but do not keep them. Staff are all off same day and no-one is in charge. Items are missing from apartment and staff just walks in.
