"Carpets were cleaned throughout bldg., however the stains are back & actually it looks worse than before, personally I think it was $$$ down the drain. Still having a huge problem with staffing as the meals are mostly Buffet & by that I mean, just what's listed on the menu for that meal, so if you don't care for it or if have dietary restrictions your out of luck! We were told approximately 7 wks. ago at least 4 or more severs were hired BUT where are they??? Have seen 1, yes, I know they have to meet certain requirements however this is beyond ridiculous & most residents are fed up with this! Still haven't received a perk I was told I'd get as a new resident over 6 mos. ago, so not holding my breath on that. Today I was totally humiliated at Bingo & ended up leaving before the last game as I was holding bk. tears!! I love Bingo , but will never attend again!!! So sad!" - Sharon… Read more

"Sure, it looks pretty and appears to be a nice place. But I wouldn’t even send my dog to live here after the experiences I have had with a loved one in this facility over the last few years. Communication is horrible, they claim to not chart medication dispersement when I asked about the last time my mom had a certain med, and in my personal opinion, it appears that the care factor is more in appearances than actual patient care." - Beth… Read more

"My mom moved into the New England Club when she was in her mid 80's as she was not capable physically of maintaining her house. She no longer drove and life in suburbia was getting lonely. At NEC she enjoyed playing bridge and being with other older people. She was as active as possible--going regularly to the exercise room and taking part in group exercise classes. She was very comfortable. She was able to get around for quite a while and then was in a wheelchair (electric and later aide-propelled) I was pondering moving her to a nursing home, but NEC was abe to handle stuff pretty well. She lived the remaining time of her life with them. I was able to purchase added care and she was able to stay in a place that was familiar to her. There is even a nurse practitioner that comes to treat patients which was better than going out!! Mom and my sister and I felt that NEC was a good place for her." - Nancy… Read more
