Nursing Home Communities in Manchester, CT

"The staff is totally unprofessional and borderline abusive; the patients are relatively ignored and herded like cattle. They over medicate and under-rehabilitate their patients leaving them dependent on substances and waiting out their term. I could never get a hold of someone in charge there to formally state a complaint, either. On one visit, I got into the room and my mother was lying asleep. The nurse came in and forcibly woke her. Afterwards, she gave her a collection of twenty pills, some of which she openly admitted were for later in the day, and then made her take them all. Originally she didn't even bring water for my mother to take them with. The home even has a smoker's club where the smoking patients can go out as a group and smoke! Much of my mother's health issues are directly related to cigarette smoking and i feel like enabling people in this regard is against rehabilitation standards. My mother is now home and worse off than she was when she was in the hospital before she entered the assisted living home which promoted high quality rehabilitation services. I would say that this is certainly not the case. "

"Glastonbury Health Center has an excellent staff that is truly caring and professional. The nursing staff was very Attentive and took the time to explain all questions The physical/occupational therapy department made it possible for me to rehab to the point that I could return to my home. I really feel that everyone at GHC was sincerely interested in my quick recovery and rehab.."

"My father was in this nursing home after he had a stroke. They took very good care of his diabetic needs and emotional needs. The nurses were very nice and helpful every time I visited. He was never in the same place for long because they had adequate lifts to handle tall wide people. They bathed him often even though it wasn't an easy feat due to his size. Because of the way he was taken care of, he had very good report with the staff. Next to the facility are horse stables, and my father's room had a view of their horse paddocks only 10 feet away. They also have a garden out back with rose bushes and a patio with furniture for residents and visitors to sit on. There are no fences around the property to keep residents in or people out, but it lends a sense of hominess rather than being in a prison. The facility also is in touch with some of the local churches that provide bussing for residents to go to their churches, even if they have a physical difficulty like needing a wheel chair to get around. Also the people from the church would visit residents throughout the week. When my father passed away at the facility, the residents were helpful in getting my father's belongings together in a timely manner so we could figure out what to bury him in. I am very grateful that he was at such a caring facility. I have only good memories of my father and I there. "

"Went for a tour and was very impressed with staff, atmosphere and cleanliness of facility."

"Salmon Brook Center is a nursing facility that has a rehab wing and a residential wing for memory care patients and patients who need 24/7 nursing care. The staff from the orderlies all the way up to the head nurses are wonderful. Everybody, including the physical therapist, is so kind. Families can visit anytime they want, day or night, any day. They can also bring pets to visit their loved one if they want to. It's a very friendly kind of family atmosphere. There's not enough parking, but it's conveniently located close to a bus line. The actual building has just been remodeled. The rooms are mostly double rooms and have windows. The residential rooms have singles, but we didn't spend a lot of time in the residential area because our friend was in rehab. My mother was OK with the food. The facility was a very nice, good place."

"My room was clean and well supplied with towels. The staff was kind, helpful and always treated you with respect and a smile. Many attempts are made to make time spent there fun and social. The rehab department were very good. I felt there was a true concern for my well being. I witnessed this with all the patients in my area. I give them top rating for doing a wonderful job of caregiving."

"This nursing home is very well staffed and also very clean compared to other nursing homes in the area. They have quite a few Alzheimer's/Dementia patients there and they have a unit that is locked 24 hours for some of these patients who are at risk of wandering. My Dad has been there for 6 months and has been doing extremely well, under the circumstances of his illness. Their Rehab//Physical Therapy unit is fantastic and they have helped my Dad to be able to walk with a walker instead of being in his wheelchair. I would recommend this nursing home to anyone thinking of transitioning their loved one. "

"My mother is in Ellis Manor. I think it is serving her very well. They are taking good care of her. However, it is struggling like a lot of the nursing homes. They’re struggling right now because of funding, and it is not their fault. However, the overall care is excellent. They’re taking very good care of my mother. She needs more care now than she did before. My mother has her own her room, but she shares a bathroom with somebody else. It is not spacious because it’s a nursing home, but she has a TV and her bed. It is nothing like living in a facility, but they are taking very good care of her. Right now, they’re in the process of changing how they do care for people there. They’re dropping their staff for one thing, and they’re also putting a new thing at the place, that if you’re walking by and somebody needed your help whether you were their aide or not, you are to go in and help them no matter what. I think they’re upping their care level. I think they’re trying to do the best they can. "

"The staff my okay, mostly left people alone with their family when guests where there only popping in to give food, medicine, and to check up. The food wasn't very good but that's something you kinda expect in an assisted living facility. The hospital was very clean and the dietary staff was very good and accommodated my grandmother excellently. Building it self is very nice and is and is in a very nice area next to Goodwin park on the Hartford Wethersfield border. It is a very secure facility, but is nice, not industrial and sterile looking like some look. They have all the activities and amenity that youd expect in a nursing home like haor salon, cafeteria, bingo, and community rooms and such. The people there are mostly elderly and some younger patients in need of physical rehab and such. "

"I have had many opportunities to be inside of Woodlake. I worked as an Emt and brought pts in and took them out for different appointments.The staff are outstanding and the really show that they care about the persons living there. The facility is well maintained and never gives off a bad aroma. I now am on that long journey of cancer,and getting close to having to consider a facility. I would put Woodlake number one on my list. "

In an effort to help consumers, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid developed the 5 Start Quality Rating System to provide residents and families with an easy to understand summary of nursing home quality. Nursing homes are given one to five stars. One star for being much below average to five star for being much above average. Trinity Hill is proud to have achieved CMS’s highest 5 Star rating!

"The accomodations are basic. Facility is clean and pleasant. My friend, who resided at Windsor rehabilitation for several months loved the food. Staff is wonderful. Everyone is warm, welcoming, well informed and professional."

"I was able to visit Hughes Health & Rehabilitation. There were a couple of reasons why I didn’t want to place my husband there. One was that there wasn't a separate parking lot, so you had to park on the street. I do have a handicapped parking permit tag to be able to park wherever I wanted, so I had to use one of the three spots on the side of the front lawn for handicapped people. I would improve the parking. The facility was a very old building. Part of the patio was attached to this huge house, like a mansion. Unfortunately, I found this to be a very old a facility; although it seemed adequate, and I didn’t think my husband would like it there. It was just kind of dreary and dark, and the atmosphere was quite depressing to me. I did see the rooms, but only from the doorway. I would not feel comfortable driving there and being there, especially at night. I was uncomfortable. I would like to have brought my husband to this facility, not only for rehab but also for long-term care, but I don’t think he would be comfortable. The dining area was located off one of the corridors with nice, big, round tables. It was bright, and the food was attached to a kitchen for that particular wing or section of the rehab facility. I could see that they had celebrated holidays, and people are allowed to visit anytime. "
