Nursing Home Communities in Rochester, NH

"My husband is very satisfied at Greenwood Center, although I am not satisfied, sometimes. He is eating everything and anything, which surprises me. He is so fat. There were only a couple of times where he told them that there are certain things he didn’t want to eat, and they have made a note and didn’t serve it to him. The staff and the help are friendly. It’s clean and the service is good, too. I have attempted to move him before, but I wouldn’t attempt it now. At the beginning, he wanted to come home all the time, and now he doesn’t even mention it. "

"My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's years before her stay at the Newton Center. She stayed there for a short stay, having only been there for rehabilitation. The staff were a mixed bunch; some were very kind and full of smiles, while others seemed to think most of the patients were bothersome, but I suppose those mixed attitudes can be found almost anywhere. The facility was kept clean, although at one point my grandmother's stuffed animal went missing. However, the social worker assigned to my grandmother was more than willing to track it down for her. All in all, it was a nice place for her to stay in even though I wish the nurses would react to the patients' needs a little more quickly. "

"Overall, Durgin Pines was nicely kept and clean. If you were looking for rehab, which my husband was, it did not fit his needs. Other than that, the staff was very friendly and very helpful. My husband was in the rehab section, and the staff did not keep him as fully informed as he would have liked to be. "

"I thought Mark WentWorth was absolutely beautiful. It was one of the nicest properties I visited. The lobby space was very nicely designed. There are wonderful sitting areas all over the property and on each floor. So, if somebody left their room and they headed down the hall, they had a place to sit. They had a snack area 24 hours a day. So, if somebody wished to have a cup of tea or coffee, piece of fruit, or a cookie, they had a place where they could get a snack. I thought that was outstanding. There were 2 dining areas, and one of them even had a piano. I thought that was a cool idea. So, if somebody chose to come in and play music for the residents, they could do it at a meal time or not. They also had a little space. They told me that there was somebody who lives there who loves to give little tutorials. He talks about travels and loves to give his presentations to the residents. In my opinion, the only drawback was, it was in the middle of the neighborhood and it was surrounded by houses. There wasn't a lot of walk around space. "

"I appreciate the quality of care. It is wonderful and that includes everybody: the owner, director, receptionist, nurses, physical therapist, OT, speech, the head nurses, the LPNs, and the cleaning people. The food is wonderful. They have a lot of activities. They have a sweethearts lunch for valentines. They are also going to have a chocolate festival. They have things for everyone. "

"My dad is here. The staff is very good, very attentive, and work with him very well. The room is good and clean. He has not complained about the food. "

"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 husband is in rehab at Kennebunk Center for Health & Rehabilitation. Our experience so far is not good and I can't wait to get him out of there. They're not allowing visitors inside. He's been there for a little bit and we haven't gone in there to see him. They called me to tell me he's fallen three times, and they called me just to tell me how he's behaving when he's got dementia. The thing is, my insurance only covers a certain amount of time, and they're asking me to pay $10,000 a month to keep him there, which I haven't got. They tell me it's their policy. I don't know how to describe the person I've been in contact with over there, but she's nasty and threatening. She's telling me she's gonna send him home to me. I had an accident, and she wants me to care for him. I do not recommend them at all. They walk him around with a walker. There are certain people over there that are nice. The therapist is nice, and the admissions person, Daniel, is very nice. There's another person in charge of Social Services and she is not nice, not professional, not understanding, or just doesn't really care about the resident as she cares about money. I don't really owe them anything. My husband was supposed to leave there a couple of days ago. They're demanding a check for one week as soon as possible, and that's fine, I`m gonna pay them, but I don't like how I'm being treated. You're not getting value like you would in any other facility."

"Wolfeboro Bay Care and Rehabilitation Center was very good and very clean. The staff was very accommodating, friendly, and very helpful. My spouse didn’t complain about the food. "

"My dad had a huge stroke. He almost died. Therapy and nursing were excellent. My dad is thriving at home now. I highly recommend River Ridge "

"My mom stayed here for two weeks in the Rehab. While the facility appears pleasant enough, I felt that they were understaffed and that the overworked nursing assistants did not provide adequate care. "

"My mother was a resident of Webster before her passing. The level and continuity of care is unmatched, anywhere. It speaks volumes that they are able to retain their wonderful compassionate staff. The food was great. They have a full list of activities and were very encouraging. My mom wasn't much for socializing but they did a great job of coordinating where she sat in the dining hall to get her to socialize which she ended up loving. She preferred the company of her nurses and she had some of the best nurses I've ever encountered. In all, even though staying home was her first choice, she was thrilled to have been lucky enough to get a room at Webster."

"My friends will be moving into the RiverWoods at Exeter. The tour experience was great. They did a nice job. It's a lovely facility, so we're pleased that they're going to be there. Plus, it's only four miles from our house. The staff was very knowledgeable, very professional, and very cordial. It is a very professionally well-run facility. The facility was well set up, clean, and well-maintained. They have a variety of facilities, depending on the level of care. It's a large facility. They have accommodations spread out across the facility. The assisted living facility is kind of centralized. The people said the food was good."
