I never ever have written a review on Yelp, but I feel so strongly about Middlewood's of Newington…read morethat I had to take a minute to tell you about our experiences there. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and caring, I mean really caring and sweet. The food is delicious, healthy and there is plenty of it. If residents don't like food they just have to ask and another food will be made for them. There are all kinds of activities and excursions with plenty of staff to help; and they throw some of the best parties I have ever been too. Medical staff is on hand which is very helpful. My grandmother arrived and was very scared (she lived in her home over 65 years) I swear within a day or two she really started to love the place. She has made many friends. What I like best is that we don't have to worry about her. We don't have to spend the weekend, doing laundry, cleaning and help with her showering. We get to spend quality time with her. That's the best feeling in the world. The place has just upgraded the place, new carpets, new paint, new furniture everything is spotless and beautiful Kathy Braga is the Chief Fun Fairy and Director of Middlewood's. She runs a tight ship with lots of love. She makes everything run seamlessly. My grandmother has long term care insurance and they gave us so much trouble to get them to pay for my grandmothers care. Kathy dug in and we got the result we wanted they'd pay for her care. I don't believe that we would have gotten the same conclusion with out her. We love her, we love the place and we are very, very happy.

The rooms are very comfortable and the hallways resemble a college dorm with small tables of knick knacks and seasonal decorations. My mom gets her hair, nails and pedicures done on the premises. Also on the premises is a geriatric doctor and psychiatrist, both of which my mom sees. There are activities every day and also a van that takes residents to doctor appointments, the store as well as field trips and Wii bowling competitions with other assisted living communities. There's something for every level of care for seniors and I am very happy to have my mom living there.

We were impressed enough to have my mother move there from Florida when she needed a smaller living space and available nursing care. It was not long before we came to understand that the saying "all that glitters is not gold" applies. Turned out to be a place that ostracized my mother from evening meal dining because one has to be "invited" to a table of people already grouped through friendships/familiarity. In the year or so my mom lived there, she felt like an outsider in the dining situation and ate all her all her meals in her apartment. She made friends with immediate neighbors but socially could not fit into the social network created by people living there before her arrival, even though she was a gregarious and fun loving person. And, the management was quite insensitive to the exclusion of my mom from the social cliques their facility had facilitated even after we complained about the situation. We were so sorry that we took great efforts and great expense to have her live there. Be careful if you are considering this place for any person you care about.

The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) should really reconsider the operating license of…read moreHughes Health & Rehabilitation. Probably once a state of the art senior & rehab facility back in the 1960's & 70's, this is truly not the case in the present day. My entire family was appalled at the crumbling conditions, under trained "professional caregivers," and many potential health and safety violations. We recently had no other options discharging elderly family member from the hospital. Resulting in two agonizing days & nights not only for our loved one, but the family as whole. We scrambled desperately to locate a qualified, up-to-date post operative facility. Every experience at Hughes left them with low marks of 1 or 2 on a scale of 1-10. The Registered nursing staff is virtually understaffed and over worked. Which leaves much of the "care" to under qualified CNA's to basically run the roost. Not one was hospitable or caring. For example, our family member was left on an uncomfortable bed pan for over an hour, despite numerous attempts to call the staff. To mitigate the issue, we requested a bedside commode. However, the call light wasn't answered again for a good twenty minutes. So our family member made her way precariously to the commode. Then to add insult, when we came in the next day to transfer her another facility, the Commode was still un-emptied 24+ hours later! The rooms are small and under designed for 1 patient, let alone 2, which made both residents very uncomfortable. An old window mounted air conditioning unit struggled to cool the tight space. Halls are narrow and a parking lot for various items, such as, dining carts, pressure cuff carts, beds, wheel chairs, house keeping items (some very filled with soiled bedding). This clutter generates chaos and unsafe conditions for unstable residents needing the use of a handrail. I could go on, but enough said. She was transferred to a 5 star facility that honestly is a DAYdream versus the NIGHTmare. Please do not even consider this facility and subject any loved to Hughes under any circumstances. My heart goes out to all of the remaining patients and residents who have no other means to move on.

It is difficult to express in words how thankful I am for the care the staff at Ingraham Manor…read moreprovided to my late Aunt and Uncle, Janet and Al Robidoux. Every staff member, including the CNAs, nurses, physical therapists, doctors, housekeepers, and social worker, went out of their way to provide my family members with the most kind, caring, compassionate, friendly and skillful care. Your team is made up of a very special group of people who touch the hearts of many. Prior to her passing, my aunt raved about the care provided at Ingraham. I cannot thank you enough for making a difficult time much more pleasant. Your work is stellar! Keep up the great work!!

I would never place another relative at this facility. My mother was here for several months, and…read morethe care she received was overall decent. But when Medicare decided to cut off my mother's coverage, the staff at Ingraham Manor didn't tell my mother, or myself as her Power of Attorney. They just quietly moved her to their long-term care wing, claiming that "she'd be more comfortable there," and switched her to self-pay status - again, without saying a word to us about it. It took about 10 days for me to find out accidentally when one of the social workers mentioned that my mother was self-paying, and I was absolutely livid! I removed her from the facility a few days later and my mother was forced to pay a very large bill for those 10+ days. Oh, but it doesn't even end there. Nine months later, I received another bill in the mail for an additional $3500 because the billing department at Ingraham Manor had "mistakenly" charged her the wrong rate. I feel so much disgust towards this facility because the whole situation seems like a deliberate and calculated money-grab against an elderly woman who didn't have much money to begin with. These types of practices should be illegal. At the very least, I feel like they are unethical and predatory. Needless to say, I would never again trust anyone at this facility.
