“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!”
“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!!!!”
“Maria was a great caregiver for my husband. She was both caring and firm in meeting his needs. She is very warm and compassionate with him. The service was great in contacting me if Maria was late or unable to come. I would certainly use this service again.”

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.
