“My grandma was admitted tonight and the staff were wonderful! It’s quiet and there is a sense of peace when you walk in… it’s not chaotic like other facilities. I was reluctant to send my grandma to a subacute rehab but was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful they are. Hoping rehab team is just as great with her!”
“I appreciate all the love I received from all my clients. I really tried to give them the world. I know they love working with me, but I really wanna give a shout out to Diane for doing the best that she can every single day picking up every single call and being sweet over the phone we need more people like Diane”
“What an amazing community. Tight knit through and through, from the residents to the staff. I would certainly send my loved ones there. 5 stars across the board. Way to go Pomperaug Woods!!!!”

About these figures
Computed on October 23, 2026 from the 13 communities listed in Southbury, 733 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change.
