Any one who knows my Dad, would think he was an actor in grumpy old men. He has told me that most of the people who help him are really nice. That alone is high praise for The Pines. I can't thank them enough.

Currently waiting for a shared room to cut costs. We chose this place because the price was good. I'm impressed with management and it is a very friendly staff.

As an outside provider I am frequently in this building. The staff is caring and attentive. They have an amazing activity program and they provide a homelike environment. I can't say enough about the level of care they provide for their residents.

Elder care services and prices are extremely varied. This service made recommendations that zeroed in to our needs and made this experience so much easier and much less stressful. We are grateful! We are confident that our parent is reasonably content and has the necessary care for her current state of health.

The Pines is a perfect fit for my Mom. The staff are are kind, courteous & friendly & very nice to mom. There are a lot of fun things for me to do when she feels up to. For the value for cost, I can't answer this as my brother & sister handle this part. As far as I can tell, the staff always looks out for & will call my sister asap if there are any issues. I would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had.

My mom has been at the Pines for 9 mos. now...I know that she is well taken care of and all her needs are met. The staff is wonderful and caring and I can't say enough good things about them. They are quick to respond to any questions/concerns we might have..The food is terrific. The administration plans some fun nights for the residents at least on a monthly basis on top of the daily activities...

November 8, 2024Hi Cindy, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this review! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything.
My mother was a resident at The Pines for about a year and a half prior to her death. They were mostly understaffed with high employee turnover, and not equipped to handle the issues that come along with caring for someone with Alzheimer's or dementia. My mother did not receive the level of care or understanding that she deserved. Her room was rarely cleaned, her personal hygiene was not up to par, her belongings were often lost and never found, and communication was poor. It seems their way of dealing with the disease is to heavily medicate patients. She fell almost daily during her last few months there and they did not have the staff to keep an eye on her to keep her safe.

November 8, 2024Hi there, we are sorry to hear that this was your experience with us. Our standard of care is much higher than what was described, and it's difficult to hear that we fell short of that. If you would like to speak with us further, please contact our Vice President of Operations at angiec@merrillgardens.com.
The overall facility was very pleasant and quiet. We are currently looking for a facility for our mom. this is the running. Thank you.

It is with great pleasure I tell you how pleased I am with the excellent care my boyfriend's mother is given at The Pines of Newmarket. During the several times I have accompanied him there to visit his mother, I have seen the loving, compassionate care she consistently receives from the outstanding caregivers employed there as well as from management personnel. The thing I love best about the Pines is that the care being provided is genuine and never rings a false note. I would recommend the Pines to anyone looking for an excellent place for a loved one.

My mother has been at The Pines of Newmarket for 2-1/2 years. From the beginning, I knew it was the right place for her. The nursing and care staff all take the time to get to know her, they know what she likes, or doesn't like, and they respect her preferences. If she doesn't like what's on the menu, they provide something else. [names removed] of the administration are always pleasant and ready to help the family with any needs. The nursing and care staff are very kind to Mom and the family. [names removed] and others whose names I'm unsure of, usually stop to speak to Mom and the family. The facility is clean and well-maintained. There are bulletin boards with information about the day, and upcoming activities. We arrive to visit mid-morning, and there is always something going on such as live music, a game of Bingo, reading aloud about history or current events, or a craft activity. I highly recommend The Pines of Newmarket to anyone in need of care.

We have had issues with staff (agency) coming and going so frustrating that the communication between staff is not great. Staff doesn't seem to get the fact that we, as a family, choose to do my Mom's laundry and things continue to go missing. As of last night my mother has had 3 falls- all from a wheelchair despite asking them to not leave her unattended in the wheelchair in her room! (the second time it was 10 hrs after the fall before I got notified of the incident!) Right now they are dealing with a covid outbreak but no communication of this to families despite going into the holiday weekend!!! So communication to families is a BIG issue! (lack there of!) The food is mediocre at best- they feed the bigger meal at noon, and lots of sandwiches at dinner in the evening- how about adding in some soup or something warm this time of year! Presentation of said food is poor-things are pretty bland looking- how about some fresh fruit and not always gross looking canned fruit cocktail!! With only 50 residents, I had hoped the food would look a little more appetizing since the description on the menu looked sounded pretty good! One of the main reasons we chose The Pines, was location to family and cost. The base cost is reasonable, and we pay [fee removed] on top of that for her "level of care/specific needs" So just under [fee removed]. I would have thought the extra care she needs would include better monitoring but l am beginning to have some doubts due to the 3 falls in 2 months!! Overall- things are average for the most part. Have I thought about looking for a different facility that is more nursing home, vs assisted living. I was told there is generally more licensed staff (RN, LPN) in a nursing home vs assisted living so maybe Mom needs that type of facility?

My mom is currently a resident at The Pines of Newmarket. I really like it there. The staff is great. They are very friendly and my mom is well cared for. The other residents are friendly, as well. We had a great tour and the move in was a very easy process. The activities are well planned. I hear from them often, so no issues on communication with the family and you can visit anytime at all. I would recommend The Pines of Newmarket to others!
