United Methodist Homes

My dad loves Middlewoods of Farmington, his assisted living home for nearly three years. He describes it as "easy living" rather than assisted living. The staff is friendly, and they provide lovely care for my dad and other residents. The cost is reasonable. He stays very busy with the many activities available, which includes exercise classes, Wii bowling, painting classes, and bell ringing choir. He also enjoys playing cards with his friends, and there are frequent happy hours and other social events.

Very warm and personal. Spoke to some of the residents who all expressed how happy they are.

I had a wonderful, informative visit with [name removed]. I really feel this would be a great fit for our brother. Everyone was welcoming and inviting. The facility was clean and had a family environment.

I came here 3 years ago and they have spoiled me rotten! I was a widower 8 years keeping house by myself and now all my needs are more than met!

Excellent, beautiful and well managed home. Problems, though very few, are resolved quickly and always with a positive response. These people strive to be the best at what they do and it shows.

Middlewoods of Farmington is everything we wanted and more. The building is lovely to begin with and the current renovations will make it even more attractive. The staff takes a personal interest in every resident and they go above and beyond to look out for everyone. The attentive care services have given us a much needed peace of mind. The on and off site activities are extensive for a facility this size, and what's interesting is the high degree of participation we have noticed. It is also noteworthy how much input the residents have regarding food and other services. And speaking of food, we would give 5 stars to the food, for which you do not show as a separate category for rating purposes. The variety and quality are wonderful, as is the personal attention of the wait staff.

My mom has been at Middlewoods of Newington for a year now. It is very clean and well kept up and the staff is very friendly and helpful. 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.

I think its friendly, clean, and the food is really good. The staff is very friendly. Friendly and professional at the same time. They also offer a variety of activities. This has been a positive experience for my sister and I.

I have been a resident of Bishop Wicke Health Center for over 4 years. I am unable to stand, am wheelchair-bound and have only minimal use of one hand. I am given choices in what delicious food I want, and the engaging activities I attend. I'm extremely involved in my own healthcare, which the staff at Bishop Wicke totally encourage, support and facilitate in every possible way. I would recommend Bishop Wicke without reservation because of the friendly, home-like atmosphere and the compassionate outlook of the employees who care for me.

When my family had to find an assisted living facility for my mother coming out of rehab, we toured a few facilities in the area. Middlewoods of Newington was the one we selected because of the smaller size and more reasonable cost. We have been very happy with this choice. Mom loves it and all of the staff have been very friendly and very helpful. I would definitely recommend it.

My grandmother has lived at Bishop Wicke for 5 years. I could not imagine a kinder, more caring team of people for her to depend on. I do not say this lightly as I am a nursing home consultant and have visited over 75 homes, many considered the best in their geographic area. Though I moved two hours away, her and I decided that it was better I drive the distance to visit rather than leave the phenomenal people there. When I was recently asked by a nursing home professional the best place they could visit to see truly caring teams in action I answered with Bishop Wicke. (Did you know ppl from around the WORLD come to tour them to learn their "secrets"?) No place, even my own home, is perfect but I always trust their clinical judgement and most importantly that they are doing the right things for my grandmothers happiness. I know WITHOUT A DOUBT that she would not be with us today if not for Bishop Wicke's compassionate care.

We toured this community for the care for my mom. The menu was. nice and seemed to have a good variety of healthy meals. The staff is attentive to the residents. We did like the list of activities that are offered. We would recommend that families tour this community for the care of a loved one.

My mother-in-law has been at Middlewoods of Newington for 3 years. She entered at age 95 and is still going strong at 98! The care and quality of life at Middlewoods of Newington is second to none! All her needs are met and exceeded at this facility. Her studio apartment is cute and homey, the meals are excellent and there is something going on all the time! The staff is high quality and cannot do enough for the residents and their families. She is safe, mentally stimulated and very happy here. My wife and I have tremendous peace of mind and enjoy our visits with her and the other residents here. We would highly recommend Middlewoods of Newington for your loved one's assisted care.

We toured this community when while looking into care options for a loved one. The place is great, the people are friendly, and we like that it has a smaller floor plan so that my loved one doesn't tire herself out when walking to the dining room, or to do activities.

All in all, we're very pleased with Lifestyle Transitions at Wesley Heights. It's an incredible place. I have nothing but good things to say about the entire staff and the entire process. They made it very comfortable and easy. I understand how difficult my family member's condition can be, and I think they're doing a great job with her.

I've been here for over seven years and my feelings have been truly nice. All the department heads are very kind and helpful. I truly recommend this place to anyone who needs assisted living. The staff here is very good to all our needs. We actually are like one big family.

Middlewoods is a very nice and beautiful facility. After assessing my mom they would not take here and they were not very friendly about it, they acted like they knew my mom better than me.

We thought Lifestyle Transitions was very nice. It was one of our top two choices after touring at several places. We left the choice up to our mother, and she chose the other place, I suspect because it was less expensive than Lifestyle Transitions.

Our family was able to do an in person tour and our experience was great. The people who took us on the tour were super informative and friendly, they were just wonderful. However the rooms our loved one would be staying in just seemed very dark, and had minimal windows.

Our family had an in person experience, and the feedback we got from them is that it went really well. On a value for cost stand point they like this community more, and like the apartments here more.
