Nursing Home Communities in New Haven, CT

"I would definitely recommend this live in rehab to anyone who needs it! My grandma was back on her feet in no time. The first time she was there, it was for 6 months, and we are actually looking to get her to stay there permanently. The nurses are on top of things and are all so nice! Meals were always brought on time, whenever she needed anything it the nurse was there at attention. Therapy goes on everyday, a hairstylist comes in and does their hair weekly, and they have activities any elderly person would like! "

"I would recognize Jean at Advanced Center for Nursing and Rehab as a wonderful nurse and a wonderful person in general. It was a blessing for me to recuperate at this facility and a blessing to have this compassionate person as my nurse during my stay over there."

"I went to the Mary Wade Home to visit my grandmother with my family. It by far one of the best nursing homes I have been to in my experience. The staff there is very friendly and very respectful to the patients and family. There always nurses around ready to assist you. I really felt at home when I walked in. They seemed to be taking great care of my grandmother and she had no complaints from what I could see. Everything was very clean and if there was an incident, it was taken care of right away. There were no foul smells when I went there either. The food was very good. They had a lasagna dinner that night which was tasty and they offered food to my family which I was not expecting. I was pleasantly surprised. My family really enjoyed it. Overall, I was pleased to see that my grandmother was in such good hands and I really had peace of mind leaving there. I knew I could trust the Mary Wade Staff with her. It's a wonderful place and I would recommend it to anyone! "

"Whitney Center was very nice. I like everything that they do for the people that lived there. I had a meal there and it was very well done. It was like a high class restaurant. Their rooms were like apartments and it had lots of closets and space so people wouldn’t have to condense as much as you would think when you move in there. "

"My partner stayed at RegalCare at New Haven, but it was a terrible place. It was supposed to be for rehab for him to walk, but then when he got there, they never gave him any rehab. First night there, I said to them, "Give me some towels. I'll bathe him for you," and they looked at me like I had three heads and said to me, "We have no towels right now," and I was like, "Excuse me?" then they said, "All we can give you is a bath blanket to dry him with." She gave me this bath blanket. I went into the shower room and there were pampers all over. It's showing that it wasn't cleaned after each patient, and it was terrible. I came every day and the next day, I found my partner sitting in a corner drooling on himself so he was soaking wet. I said no, and I can't leave him there. They had him mixed up with everybody, and it wasn't a safe spot for confused people like him. They had a blind man, and they put his food in front of him and he ate it like a dog. They don’t have the facility to take care of people with dementia or lost memories. Some of the staff members were very kind and concerned and they knew right from wrong, and there were some that didn't care or were too busy. The food was terrible though. The facilities were smelly, which I understand, but the dining area where people come in and eat had cloth seats on them, and if they peed on the seat, it was not cleaned, but instead a blue pad was put on top of it so the next person could sit on it. They should have seats that can be wiped down every day. I was overwhelmed, so I leave the place crying every day because I was leaving him behind."

"Different people I knew worked there at Bentley Gardens. It was a good tour. Their food was good, and the dining area is excellent. They have all kinds of stuff for activities. The rooms are good. The facility is secured enough for the residents. "

"My mother was at The Willows for eight months for long-term care, and she received very good care there. This was before COVID and so I used to go there every day and was able to observe them. They were very kind, caring, and worked very hard for their residents. Most of them had to be taken back and forth to the bathroom, and they were just a spot on every day. My mother had one particular aide and she was just wonderful. She took care of her every day and was very good at it. I would give them a good grade. She liked the food as well and as she progressed, she wound up getting mostly ground and soft foods, and she was able to enjoy it. They met my needs and they were very good at responding to anything I asked for. We were very comfortable having her there. The facility was very clean. Their OT and physical therapy were excellent all day long, seven days a week. They always provided some sort of activity. When my mother was able to, she did them, but because of her health, that kind of slowed down for her. It's a lot of money for a nursing home, but their prices were no different than any others in the area."

"I was very impressed with my stay there. The rooms were clean, the food was good and the staff was caring except for one or two. PT and OT were caring and helped me get to the point where I could go home. I would recomend this place to anyone."

"When my family did a walk through to see the facility we were very impressed as to what we saw. Your staff is wonderful and all your aides are very friendly and supportive. I can't say enough about your physical therapy department, I had Frank and he was wonderful, he knew exactly what I needed to do to and I was happy seeing myself get better on a daily basis. I would recommend Montowese to everyone. "

"I found the staff at the Arden House to be very kind and caring. My aunt had dementia and became quite difficult to deal with. The staff did a good job meeting her needs. The place itself was fairly clean and well kept. However, with so many residents, and not enough staff, the floor had that "old person smell."There was a good physical therapy department, and a place for residents to get their hair done. The staff scheduled daily activities for residents and everyone's birthday was remembered. Holidays were also celebrated. There was a lovely courtyard where people could sit, they also held events there. The television room had a piano and places for families to gather, it was quite nice. The food was not that good, typical hospital fare. "

"The facility is older, and looks as such in outward appearance. However, upon leaving your car to enter, one walks through a nicely landscaped patio area which is often a popular spot for residents. The facility is very clean, well-staffed, and there is always a staff member close by and willing (and more importantly, able) to help with anything. The food, from what my grandmother has told me, is much better than the previous assisted living facility she stayed at. Anytime there is an accident of any sort, be it a small fall or something very minor, a prompt call is always received. Small things are done to help make the resident feel more comfortable and at home. Overall, the care is very good and the staff is very concerned with the well-being of the residents. I recommend this facility without reservation and believe that it is one of the better facilities available. "

"The rooms are spacious and clean. The nursing staff is attentive and caring. Physical Therapy team is professional and work diligently to meet the goals of each patient. The kitchen staff work nicely together to prepare good home cooked meals and serve the residents with care. Activities are always in place for residents. Overall a great facility with approachable administration and nursing staff."

"I visited this facility when they just open the LW2 unit. Renovations revealed beautiful work being done. The rooms are specious and very lovely decorated. Staff is very kind and polite. I was impressed and definitely will bring my father into this facility. We also got an opportunity to try food and it was delicious. I had a chance to speak with some other family members and they had nothing but good to say about this building and management. "

"My great uncle had a long stay here due to a redo of a knee replacement. His room was large and airy. Clean is not the word, this place was immaculate! The comfort you feel while visiting actually makes you want to return. It's a very bright and cheery place. His knee was well tended to and his continuous physical therapy had him mobile in no time. "
