Riverside Health and Rehabilitation Center

Riverside Health and Rehabilitation Center

4.6(480)✓ Google-verified

Families recovering from surgery or managing complex medical needs find skilled, attentive care in a spotless setting. Staff members build genuine relationships with patients, remember names, and include family in the healing process. Ventilator and cardiac care stand out for their technology and specialized expertise. Minor hiccups with meal quality and transport logistics rarely overshadow what reviewers describe as compassion combined with medical competence. Patients leave feeling treated as people, not cases.

Most long-term residents and families report good experiences, with staff described as caring and the environment clean and active. One recent admission process involved a nursing supervisor's failure to communicate clearly, misleading a prospective resident about acceptance, and denying admission without timely notification to family-a red flag for transparency and follow-through.

Most residents and families describe a pleasant, clean place with kind staff who respond quickly to concerns. A recurring problem: an aggressive maintenance worker has upset multiple families, and at least one resident reported dead mice in the dining area, raising questions about upkeep consistency.

Most residents praise cleanliness, security, and the stability of staying long-term. However, maintenance delays, indifferent management, and gaps in pest control create real friction for some tenants.

The McAuley

4.8(55)✓ Google-verified

Most residents report finding genuine friendships, daily activities, and attentive staff. Apartments are spacious with balconies, meals chef-prepared, and common events like happy hour foster connection. One recent reviewer noted the high cost and occasional social friction, but even that parent acknowledged their father enjoyed his time here. Staff members named repeatedly (Anabela, Elizabeth, Beth Andresen, James Manugas, Jaclyn Terranova) go beyond transition help to ongoing resident concerns. Pet-friendly policy, fitness center, wood shop, and resident library cater to active lifestyles. Programs include singers groups, volunteer roles, and daily social gatherings.

Most families report that staff make transitions feel supported and that residents flourish in a caring community. The beautiful historic building and engaging activities draw consistent praise. One family's formal complaint to Connecticut's Department of Public Health alleged their father was medicated without consent and neglected when ill, resulting in documented violations found by health inspectors. This serious concern sits in stark tension with the overwhelming majority's positive experiences.

Most visitors find attentive, professional staff and a clean, welcoming environment. One historical account of billing fraud and neglect stands in stark contrast, alleging unpaid payments weren't credited, theft went unaddressed, and staff didn't perform assigned duties.
