Nursing Home Communities in Waterford, CT

"I toured Fairview - The Odd Fellows Home of Connecticut. I was hoping to get my aunt in there. It's superb. I know them from having visited the father of a friend three years ago who was in their skilled nursing/memory care, and they're amazing at what they do in their memory unit, even so far as finding out from the family what kind of music that the individual likes. Each resident got a little Nano. They had a cage of lovebirds and a beautiful aquarium. It's very enriching, especially for people like my aunt now who doesn't have an immediate grasp on their memories. The staff was truly excellent and incredible. It is the most updated one here for skilled nursing. They just went through an incredible rebuild two to three years ago. It's immaculate, plus there were lots of windows and lots of light. It's just clean as can be. They really set the standard."

"I toured Complete Care at Groton Regency. They were very nice and helpful. The place was clean, and I liked the layout of it. I thought it would be a good place for me. Ava was wonderful. She explained everything and was easy to talk to. The room size was very sufficient, and I was pleased with it. You have your own private bathroom right inside your room, and I felt I could be very comfortable there."

"We had a client admitted for extensive PT rehab. Facility was clean and efficient. Staff was fully invested in care of the client and worked tirelessly to advance the patient’s abilities. "

"My mother-in-law is in Mystic Healthcare and Rehab. It is very clean. The staff is fantastic. The staff members are so excellent, which is really important when you're in a place that has people that genuinely care about you. I couldn't rate them better. The dining area is nice, clean, and welcoming. However, the food is not up to par. They serve sandwiches way too much. They could really improve on their food. They do bingo once in a while, which is nice, but they're a little short on activities. They could use some more activities for the residents."

"I am appalled at the way the conditions have been becoming over here. The floors are taped because the floors are coming up, the only time you see aids when they’re on their cell phones in the hallway, can’t get your loved one changed and it’s 11 AM, there is absolutely no compassion in this place! Upon arrival today to visit a loved one there was commotion at the nurses desk they were getting ready to discharge a patient to the family because they were appalled and disgusted of the treatment that is given to their loved one! I believe it’s time to move on, and for the people that work there don’t do it for the dollar do it because you have a caring heart!! I don’t know how many times I have talked to head people in there but it looks like it goes to a deaf ear!"

"Staff is very friendly and helpful. Rehab has been challenging and what I needed."

"Regency Heights is a skilled nursing home and the person that we placed there liked the facility. They also accepted the insurance that we have. They have case management and social works. They have activities and programs available for the residents. The residents are also enjoying the activities. There rooms are congruent, not private, but shared room. "

"My mom moved into Gladeview Rehabilitation and Health Care Center. She is very, very pleased, so it's working out very well. We chose this place because of the location. The staff members were caring, kind, and happy. The staff has longevity. I think their average staff member stays for at least 16 years. It shows in their happiness to be there and take care of our elderly population. They have an activity room. They have programs that they sponsor, like music programs. They have a full month of activities, and you can participate as little as you want or as much as you want, which is great. They offer private rooms and semi-private rooms. They just kind of hit all the bases."

"Norwichtown Rehabilitation is a nursing home and rehabilitation. They have a lot of staff, they're very helpful, and it's very easy to inquire how my mother is doing. There is always somebody that will answer or refer me to the right person so we're very satisfied with it. The staff is very efficient. They have books, puzzles, and a game room but my mother's not able to do it right now. The rehab is very good too. There are a few family rooms there too and there is a salon. There are also certain doctors that come in. They've also done a lot of renovations in their facility. It's a well-maintained community and it's close to home."

"Everyone at Essex Meadows has been very kind and helpful during my rehab stay here. I would recommend to anyone who needs rehabilitation to choose Essex Meadows Health Center! The food and other services were excellent and the rehab team was great! The nursing staff and aides are wonderful also, kind and caring. I enjoyed my stay at Essex Meadows! "

"I was an independent care manager of a resident of Apple Rehab in Old Saybrook, CT. In general, I thought the facility was exceptional. The grounds of the facility are well kept and the entrance is easily accessible. The common areas of the facility are clean and newly remodeled. The residents' rooms are also clean and newly remodeled with private baths and walk-in showers. The staff and management of the facility are compassionate and professional. I think the residents get excellent care there. While my 95 year-old client was there, I noticed that the nursing staff (RNs and CNAs) went above and beyond what is typically expected from these professionals. My client was admitted to Apple Rehab after a fall in his home for what we thought was a short-term stay. However, he never fully recovered from the trauma of the fall and subsequent surgery and his condition deteriorated rapidly. The staff at Apple made sure his last days were dignified and comfortable. Overall, Apple Rehab in Old Saybrook, CT is one of the very best along the shoreline and I would recommend it to anyone. "

"I was a resident at Royal for a few weeks of rehabilitation. After Guilian Barre syndrome left me unable to function. The Royal was great, the entire staff is wonderful! From the nursing, PT, cleaning, cooking, and maintenance everyone is very helpful and kind. Even the other patients and their families are supportive and friendly. Starting my recovery here was perfect, close to home and comfortable. I would highly recommend the Royal to anyone for great care and comfort. I will always be grateful for everyone's efforts that made my stay a success! "

"The Apple Rehab Watch Hill facility is a wonderful place to put your family member. Not only do they have friendly staff, but the view is jaw dropping from the dinning room. I would have chosen this place right away for the picture perfect view of the bay if it weren't for my daughter taking care of me. Once I walked into the building I was greeted by friendly faces. There is no terrible smell that you would expect from such a place. I arrived around lunch time and the hallways were full of the smell of lasagna, my favorite dish. Later on I spoke to the director and she was nothing but sincere and kind. She gave me great advice on planning my next move. The facility is also a rehab. I have only heard great things about them, on account of my friend having to stay there after a hip replacement surgery. She told me she never received so much attention, more than any hospital would have given her! I already told my daughter to place me into this nursing home in the future, I would not trust anyone else but them. "
