This is by far the worst place your loved one could end up in. Not only is it dreary, the place is run down but the care that residents receive is unimaginable. They are un-caring, loud and obnoxious, and don't have concern for your loved one or their visitor. Do your research before you choose this place, thank God our loved one was finally transferred out of here.

WIth my loved one needing care, I visited Golden Living Center in Portsmouth. It was awful. I've spent many years dealing with family members in facilities of this type, but this was the first time I literally gagged from the smells, not on one, but TWO halls. This place is dark and depressing, and not suitable for anybody that you love. How very disappointing.

My sister has the say where mom goes, and she chose Golden Livingcenter. I wasn't very happy with it because I didn't feel that they took good care of mom . She has lost quite a bit of weight. No one was helping her eat. She was 115 lbs. when she went in and now she's only 97 lbs. so that's not good. I think they need more help and qualified staff to work with dementia. We're going to move her to an assisted living facility.

My father entered Golden Living in May of 2009. I liked the facility for the most part. On one side there was the assisted living, and the other side was a nursing home. I liked the fact that it was a place that an elder could spend the remainder of their life. The staff was also very friendly. I think my only complaint was the horrible smell coming from some of the rooms from time to time when I would walk through the nursing home side to get to the payment office. I think there should be more separation between the two wings. However, I understand that these things are to be expected in this type of facility. I also did not care for the color of the walls. It was very pink,not that I am not a fan of the color pink, but sometimes there is such a thing as too much pink. I also did not care for the color of the floor tile. All in all, I think that this facility is probably the best in the area. I think that the best thing about them is that they remain in constant contact with the residents and their families. They treat each and every person like a human being, and give the elders the respect that they deserve. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
