PositiveWe visited Suffield by the River with my parents, [name removed], and [name removed], last week and were very pleased with what we saw. The community was lovely, clean, and friendly, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It seems like a place where they would feel comfortable, supported, and at home.
★★★★★
PositiveReview for Suffield by the River
5 stars. No question. Staff RCAs are great very well trained. Lots of support on all levels. At Suffield there are 6 levels of care. My mom is at 5. It's expensive but you get what you pay for. There is a nursing home in the next building and you're guaranteed immediate entry if you're coming from assisted living. Mom is 98. The buildings are very well maintained nicely decorated. I haven't eaten much there but what I had was good. Mom likes the food.
★★★★★
CriticalFor independent adults
Staffing seemed to be a big issue. Chronically understaffed across the board. Most staff was kind and friendly, but some could be rude or unhelpful because of their own frustration with being overworked and not having enough support.

PositiveReview for Suffield by the River
The staff is great but they are not great returning calls after you are moved in. Otherwise pretty good place.
★★★★★
Criticaloverall nice community, but facilities need a lot of improvement
The staff is mostly friendly, and tries to do their best, but there doesn't seem to be enough for the residents. Often there are long wait times when you request aid. The facility is mostly kept clean and orderly, and usually decorated nicely for holidays and events. The grounds are lovely, very nice to take loved one outside in good weather. Recently paved roads and parking lots and new windows are going in the apartments. Recently we've had issues with the A/C not working, laundry machines not working, hot wate…
★★★★★
PositiveI was concerned about where my parents were planning on moving, but my concerns were quickly settled when I visited Suffolk by the River. The property was beautiful! the food was fabulous and the people working seemed to love their jobs and the residents. The person that answered our questions, Valerie, was kind and informative. I highly recommend Suffolk by the River.
