Mary's Meadow was recommended to her and our whole family is so grateful she had access to the care there. The staff genuinely care and are so kind, professional, knowledgable, and helpful. They go above and beyond in many ways, including giving my mom uplifting words of encouragement and helping her stay positive. Also, all the meals are hand-made and nutritious. We were all relieved my mom got the nutritional support and oversight she did while there. She regained a lot of strength from the food, which was always delicious and delivered on time. The whole place is clean and comfortable. There are doctors, nurses, and other caregiving professionals (e.g., physical therapists, nutritionists, etc.) on hand. We remain very grateful to the whole team at Mary's Meadow!

Over the past year I have seen the decline in the facility. She was placed in hospice and thought she should still have some extra care to be sure she was mentally and physically comfortable. The attitude was one of basically why try to do anything she is dying anyway. One day I found her hunched over in a wheelchair with a bathrobe and no clothes on. It was very sad. I then sent her to the hospital so she could get comfortable. The hospital assumed the end wasn't near and they sent her back to Meadow Brook. With in two hours she had passed. It was very confusing, since the death certificate indicated she suffered for hours? So why wasn't I called if they thought she was declining however the death certificate conflicted what I was told by the nursing staff. I made multiple calls asking to correct the death certificate to indicated she has a chronic illness. I begged them to fix it letting them know that she couldn't be put to rest until this was resolved. Dr. Singh ignore this even the funeral director called to try to help still nothing. Unfortunately this fell on deaf ears. My sister sat at the funeral home for two and a half weeks. I finally had to let it go so she and I could rest.

After getting the prescription for physical therapy at UConn, I spent a bit of time trying to find a place that would be able to take me for physical therapy quickly. I called around and finally was told by a receptionist at another HHRN location that the Bloomfield location relatively less busy, so I gave them a call, and they had an opening a week out. Whew. After the first visit, it was easy to schedule convenient sessions. I ultimately had six sessions with Brian over the course of 3 weeks. Brian has a pretty chill demeanor and was helpful in my understanding of why I was feeling the discomfort I did. I appreciated that deeper understanding and ultimately felt better - mentally and physically - through my sessions here. I was ultimately able to complete my race practically pain free, and it would not have been possible without Brian's instruction and expertise.

Shame on Suffield House staff and owners. How you chemically restrain the vulnerable dementia…read moreresidents with the use of barbaric antipsychotic agents should be criminal. How anyone can think this practice is acceptable is beyond comprehension. And yet, you are basically free to continue with this practice, while antipsychotic agents are used more and more. If you want to control your dementia residents there are safer and humane alternatives than stripping them of their dignity and human rights. What a nightmare having to deal with the Suffield House! Beginning with the social worker who did not know the correct legal representative to consult with, plus putting restrictions on my loved ones phone so that I could not call in nor the resident call out, AND the nurse who violated my loved ones privacy by eavesdropping on our conversation and following us as we walked down the corridor listening to us speak. I have even been told by several staff that my observations regarding my loved ones cognitive state were incorrect and not occurring! There is a name for this type of behavior in the mental health field. The Suffield House staff (exceptions noted) are all complicit in this chemical restraint enterprise.....from the prescribing physicians (who seemingly do not possess the compassion nor social-emotional intelligence to realize the impact that medication decisions have on the resident), to the nurses distributing the agents, and the administrator overseeing the day to day functions. Potential residents and families should make sure what chemical agents are being administered. Do your homework and educate yourself on residents right to refuse. Better yet, stay away from nursing homes where profit comes first and quality is compromised (exceptions noted). Why should anyone care about appearances? For instance, how nice the grounds are landscaped, and even facility cleanliness, when there is a cancer festering in the system, only to be seen when circumstances expose it.

My brother who passed away last month was a patient at Fresh River since 2018. His was a difficult…read morecase...his mental and physical disabilities were quite challenging and profound and he required 24/7 nursing care. The only way my family could afford his healthcare was with Medicaid which simply cannot provide all the bells and whistles. That being said, every member of the staff...receptionists, aids, nurses and administrators who I came to know were caring, kind and responsive. Whenever an issue came up that needed to be addressed, they worked with me to help resolve things. Were things perfect? NO. But at the end of the day, the staff was so caring with my brother, who didn't want to be there. (Is there anyone who given the choice, wants to be in a nursing home?). The building is not fancy...I'm sure if they could get more funding they would do more...but it was always clean. I lived 50 miles from Fresh River and during his time, I looked at other places that were nearby, but none seemed to compare in terms of the care and attitude of the staff. So what did these years teach me? If you are forced to have your loved one in a nursing home, take a moment to think about the folks who are with him everyday. These are not easy jobs. These are folks who are there to solve difficult problems when the outcomes are not always pleasant. I couldn't do what they do. I'm truly grateful to the staff at Fresh River who were there for my brother when I couldn't be.

Duncaster Continuing Care Retirement Community has always been a top notch Graduated Living…read moreCommunity since its founding in 1984. Recognized and awarded throughout their 34+ years. This Community has recently provided us with two special and personal experiences. First, my mother-in-law enjoyed and when I say enjoyed, this is very understated, a recovery period in their on-site Caleb Hitchcock Health Center. This was followed by a bad fall in her own home, which required surgery and two+ months of ambulatory therapy. Second, our daughter was offered and accepted a position with the Community. I was able to spend two and half hours one evening during an earlier snow fall to "safely Uber" my daughter home after her shift. While there I was able to stroll and observe the Community first hand. In that time, I chatted with the most wonderful residents, diverse, each within their own level of life and ability. However ALL appeared happy and with a most impressive sense of close community and caring for one and other. My favorite component is the Aquatic Center. Top notch with scheduled low impact exercise classes, monitored open swim lanes, and a gradual ramp for aided aqua therapy. Not to put aside their adjacent Health and Wellness Center with fitness and movement classes for all. The dining facilities are NOT run of the mill either. Ranging for Casual formal dining, private spaces for residents to dine with visitors, and even door service. The menu was quite impressive offering a new menu everyday catering to all dietary needs and wellness, too. Now, entertainment. I happened upon an open auditorium with a large number of residents enjoying a live Piano, Violin, and Cello performance. I stood in the doorway mesmerized leaving the snowstorm behind. From there I wondered into their Library with an ample and diverse section of book stacks, warm well lit seating areas, and during the day a Librarian. In warmer, months the grounds are park like, the landscaping is beautiful and offers a number of pathways with spaces sit, enjoy nature, and let a little Vitamin D seep in. I'm only scratching the surface and I could go on, however, I close with this: I hope to be as fortunate one day as the Duncaster Residents to partake in such a well planned, maintained, and caring Community to help extend the enjoyment of our sunset.
