I visited this facility

Rockingham County Rehabilitation and Nursing Center was not for us. There was a person that accommodated us, and we told them what we were looking for, that we wanted to be away from the nursing portion because we were not ready for nursing and that we were going to have a standard room or assisted living. We are both semi-disabled, but I still drive and so on. Once we saw what they were offering, we just didn't pay attention because we wanted an apartment. We're not interested in it at all. The staff was fine. It's an old building. It's not conducive to what we're looking for. They had a small dining area. It just wasn't right.

I've been to Rockingham County Nursing Home. I was looking to place my dad there. The facility could use some updates, but they're doing that pretty steadily. The staff was good with their residents from what I was able to observe. Their independent living quarters were small, but the private ones were OK. They didn't have enough private rooms though. They were all very helpful, kind, and really nice.

We went to Ernest P. Barka Assisted Living Facility and they do such a great job. They have fabulous reputation in the area. The food was great for the size of the organization. It's got to be 200 or more residents. It's extraordinary what a great job they do considering it's a county-owned facility. I visited them several times and they've improved. This was the location that we found for my mother a few years ago. They have three levels of rooms: private, semi-private, and suites. We were looking for a private room. We actually put our father on a waiting list. They had very good sized rooms and they've redone the whole place. Mother was a resident for five years before she passed.

My mom just moves in Ernest P. Barka Assisted Living Facility. It is super clean and not overly large. Also, it is part of a nursing home complex, and my mom is hospice eligible so at this point, if she needs to have more specialized nursing care, her address won't change. She can just seamlessly move into the nursing area and then come back to her assisted living apartment as she is able. I like that we don't have to transfer her. The rooms are very attractive, very updated, pleasant, bright with lots of windows, sunny, warm and not depressing at all. It is really quite lovely. The staff is really understanding and patient because my dad -- who is also involved in the process -- is an elderly man, and he tries their patience a couple of times, but they are always very understanding and accommodating. Also, there are a lot of things to learn about insurance benefits like when and what benefits kick in, and they are really patient in providing us the knowledge that we need to make an educated decision. There are activities, and my mom loves bingo. They do a small set up of bowling. They have people come in and play music on a beautiful piano, and she really enjoys that. Everything is going very well. They have been very accommodating in moving her in, getting televisions and a telephone hooked-up, and they just bend over backwards to make it as stress free as possible.

My review of the Rockingham County Nursing Home (RCNH) is that this facility is one of the best nursing homes in New England, the staff there is great, they are very kind and always helping the residents and visitors, they have an auditorium with wildlife and a glass roof, the facility is 2 floors and has a sun room also. On the ground floor they have a smoking only room for smokers and a cafeteria like area where they sell food, at a discounted price for residents. My Uncle and I perform there to entertain the residents once a month with oldies but goodies music. Outdoors they have an area with benches for smokers and others as well. The parking lot is huge so there is no worry in not finding a spot. The residents are well taken care of by the staff, which are very easy to make friends with. My only complaints about the nursing home are that it does smell sometimes, and noise isn't contained very well, some of the bathrooms are very dirty and some of the food and drinks they sell can be really expensive. but these are only small flaws, I would recommend this Nursing Home to anyone looking for a nice retirement home.

The entire staff at Rockingham County Nursing Home was fantastic. They were caring and supportive of not just the resident but the family members as well. I felt that they treated my mother as their own. It didn't matter who we came in contact with, nurses, doctors, lnas to the custodial team and the dietary folks all were friendly, helpful and supportive. The facility itself was clean,and professional. Beautiful locations throughout the building to sit with family members and the residents.

The facility is a decent place. It used to be better when it was staffed with more help. Now they do not have enough staff to make the facility feel safe to those that might be a danger to themselves or others. Those that are a fall risk are not watched carefully enough. The food lacks any nutritional value as most things are slathered in some form of gravy. The vegetables seem to be all cheap canned food with no taste. Soups are loaded with sodium.

My Grandmother has been living in this facility for about 2 years now. She really loves it there, myself and my family were pleastly suprised at this. Like any family making the adjustment was as difficult for us as it was for her. There is alot she gave up when moving there such as her car, her home, alot of her belongings and her cat, I know how hard this was for her, but once she got settled in and aquainted with the other residents she began to like it alot. When she lived on her own we all worried about her social life, she didn't have so many friends that were able to regularly get together. She would often have family around but come to find out that often isn't enough. Since she has been living in the Assisted living place shes become more active, with trips through the facility to go shopping, or to the movies ect. she has also become somewhat of a social butterfly, towards the end of her staying at home she began to mess up our names mixing me up with my uncles (by name only) we called these all Nanaisms, now she remembers alot more including introducing me to her new friends by name and remembering their stories ect. Nana also plays bingo regularly at the home, she really enjoys it, everytime I go her friends all say hes a good luck charm I want to sit next to him, its truely a beautiful thing to see her interact like this. The staff there are very helpful with medications and adjustments as well as locating her, sometimes I get nervous if I cant reach her on her private line I'll call the desk and they always say shes around here somewhere I'll go find her and have her call you, she always does. The building is very clean and well organized with alot of community kitchens and places to sit, talk, and or do puzzles. They have pet fish and places for the residents to put flowers and pictures. the rooms are big enough, my nana was lucky enough to get a private room, but started in a double. They have their own tvs and often get together to watch sports, or movies. As I said my entire family was nervous about putting our Nana in a "home" but with medical concerns she needed a place with medical facilities close by (attatched building) and we have all been pleasantly supprised, including Nana.

I visited this facility

I visited the Rockingham County Nursing home with my nephew's scout troop. The boys brought Halloween decorations that they made to put on display for the residents. The facilities were a little old and run down. The common areas were in serious need of some more comfortable furniture and a little more décor. The place seemed more utilitarian, and less like an comfortable, inviting home. Even if it was a little ugly, the nursing home was clean and not bad for the surely limited resources available. On the plus side, the staff seemed friendly and sincere. We were greeted with a smile by the woman at reception, and the staff member who escorted us around was very nice to the residents, even the ones that weren't too responsive. All and all, I don't think I would send a loved one here if I could afford better, but it surely isn't the worse possible option.
