Excellent Teamwork

I have been the caregiver for a resident at The Cascades at Stone Bridge as of 2018. Since National Healthcare Assoc. acquired the facility in June of 2024, the management here has been the best by far. I agree with past reviewers the environment is warm, clean, organized and beautifully maintained. Most important to me is that the management under the current Executive Director is the best by far. She "Listens". She goes the extra distance, considering all possible options to make your family members stay the best possible. That leadership "does" transition through to all staff who have been excellent in their care and compassion to residents and their families. For me, that starts at the front desk. The professional and courteous character of the two sisters sharing this post, whether on the phone with you or in person, exemplifies what a "first Impression" should be and is. This "Team" effort provides that peace of mind I believe all care givers seek for their family members.

Cascades of Stone Bridge

Like most of these places, they're understaffed it seems they were purchased out. They're trying their best, but it's the same problem for all of the senior living facilities finding adequate staff to come and help and cover the people that are here doing the job. This place The Cascades is very good when I talk to them and ask them to do something or something hasn't been done. They're very responsive which I appreciate.

Get a security camera

If you choose to place a loved one with Stone Bridge, I can only recommend that you install security cameras in your loved one’s room. I’m glad we did as I’ve been able to turn over hours of security footage to the state authorities currently investigating the facility. We moved our loved one away from that facility as quickly as we could.

Beautiful grounds and wonderful staff

I give them 5 out of 5 on every item. We're thrilled with them. My dad is still unhappy and having trouble adjusting, but that's more of an emotional issue. Yes, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families. The director, [name removed], is wonderful. And so is [name removed], the RN. The staff is very nice!

Grateful to find the combination of a lovely facility and a kind, responsive staff

My loved one was previously a resident at The Commons of Newtown. The move in process was easy and the staff communication was excellent. The staff was very responsive to any concerns or requests that my mom had - she was visiting my dad every day. The staff was also unfailingly kind and patient with my dad. He also responded to the activities and the community there. It was a great fit for him and a great relief to my mom. I would highly recommend The Commons of Newtown to others!

best in every way, activities are like a Cruise, best! music..crafts!!

best experience, caring aides who work very hard... the best thing is the daily activities, each day a calendar of great activities including painting, music, etc. The outside is beautiful to sit and relax, nice furniture, and a huge pond. The dining room is delightful, as is all the surroundings. The care is personalized to their changing needs. Quaint surrounding, in beautiful Newtown.

Mom's Home

Mom has been a resident of The Commons for two years now. She has enjoyed every day that she has been there! I feel comfort knowing that she is treated with love by all nursing and other staff with whom she has contact. Mom is kept as busy as she wants to be and is always doing new things. I am grateful for your community. I have always been able to get an answer to all of my questions promptly. When I visit, it is always a positive experience.

Very good place very friendly staff

This is a really nice community but I do not know that I would permanently place anyone at this community. My loved one was here for respite care and the staff were really great. i just feel like they did not really push enough for her to get involved in anything but it could have been due to her being respite.
