    Compassionate clean active comfortable rehab

    I moved here after a terrible experience elsewhere and I'm so glad I did. The staff are wonderful - friendly, engaged, respectful and very communicative - and provide true person-centered care that restored my confidence. The facility is clean, homey and decorated for holidays, the food is delicious, therapy and activities keep me active and socially connected, and outdoor spaces are lovely. A few small concerns were promptly addressed; overall outstanding respite/rehab care - I would return.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is predominantly positive, with many reviewers praising the staff, the quality of therapy/rehab, cleanliness, and the active social environment. A strong theme is that staff are caring, engaged, and take time to know residents personally — reviewers repeatedly note person-centered care, smiling and attentive aides, and staff who make an effort to create meaningful social connections. Several reviewers described positive respite or rehab stays as "vacation-like," and emphasized clear, impressive communication from nurses and administrators. Therapy services and rehabilitation were specifically called out as strong points, and multiple reviewers said they would return for future stays.

    Facility and amenities are another consistent positive. Reviewers described the center as clean and homey, with pleasant smells, holiday decorations, and a small-community feel. The grounds and outdoor areas were praised for being welcoming — bird feeders, picnic tables, and umbrellas were mentioned — and interior amenities such as a beauty salon and library were appreciated. Dining areas are described as pleasant (two dining rooms were noted), and food quality was called "delicious" by several reviewers. Maintenance staff were singled out for helpfulness, and the facility's upkeep and cleanliness were commonly noted as strengths.

    Activities and social programming are highlighted as meaningful components of daily life at the center. Multiple reviews emphasize an active activities staff that keeps residents engaged, involved in social interaction, and physically active through PT or exercise programs. Reviewers credited activities staff with creating social opportunities and helping residents form connections, and these programs contributed to positive respite and rehab experiences.

    Despite the many positive comments, there are serious and specific negative reports that warrant attention. A subset of reviews describe neglectful care: residents left alone for long periods, urine-saturated sheets, and pressure sores that were poorly managed. One reviewer moved a family member to another facility after a period of "very bad care." These accounts contrast sharply with the majority of positive experiences and suggest inconsistency in care quality. Several reviewers called out issues with particular LNAs/CNAs and noted that staff quality can be uneven — though some of these concerns were later remedied and the reviewer regained confidence in the staff.

    Other less frequent but notable negatives include some staff being described as grumpy or unapproachable, and reports of smoking at the entrance. One review mentioned that perceptions of care were influenced by the facility's religious affiliation, indicating that cultural or organizational identity may affect families' impressions in some cases. Overall, while many reviewers felt staffing levels were adequate and the community was not short-staffed, the presence of both exemplary and problematic staff behavior in the reviews points to variability in individual staff performance or supervision.

    In summary, the dominant impression from the reviews is of a well-maintained, clean facility with strong therapy, engaging activities, and many compassionate, communicative staff members who provide person-centered care. However, the presence of multiple reports describing neglect, hygiene lapses, and poor wound management — even if from a minority of reviewers — highlights inconsistency in care that management should note. The pattern suggests generally high-quality services and a warm, homey environment for most residents, paired with occasional, significant lapses in basic nursing care and staff approachability that families identified as serious concerns.

    About St. Teresa Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

    St. Teresa Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits in a peaceful neighborhood in Manchester, New Hampshire, with a warm, caring atmosphere where folks can feel comfortable and safe, and they've been around for quite a while with a steady focus on helping people retain their independence and dignity, whether they're staying short term or long term, needing skilled nursing, memory care, rehab or simply independent living in the Bishop Primeau Apartments right on the same grounds. As a non-profit, church-related center operated by Catholic Charities New Hampshire, they aim to make sure everyone's treated like family, focusing on person-centered care that fits each resident's interests and health needs without a lot of fuss, and the staff includes registered nurses, licensed nurses, CNAs, and specialists in speech, occupational, and physical therapy, with a doctor on call 24/7 and electronic call systems in every room so folks can get help right away if they need it, which gives many families some peace of mind.

    The facility's had good inspection grades, often A+, and got recognized with the AHCA National Bronze Award for Commitment to Quality back in 2019, which is a sign they do things right year after year, plus they take both Medicare and Medicaid. Inside you'll find two quiet wings for rest, roomy apartments, and big comfortable common areas, along with family amenities including a lovely indoor courtyard full of flowers and gardens, a gazebo, a beauty salon, a rehab gym, a gift shop, and a library, so there's always a spot to relax or chat with neighbors or visiting loved ones. Dining happens restaurant-style at the Bistro Café where the culinary staff cooks up meals for all dietary needs, and they do homecooked meals for folks, which feels nice, and housing is spacious throughout.

    Programs cover just about everything, with services for people living with chronic illnesses, dementia, and serious or long-term conditions, and they've also got strong rehab for folks recovering from surgery, illness, stroke, or other health changes. They provide respite care for tired caregivers, memory and palliative care, hospice care on-site, and many forms of therapeutic support like cardiac therapy, respiratory therapy, nutritional counseling, mental health services, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, audiology, recreational therapy, X-ray, lab work, and orthopedic rehab, all managed by a team dedicated to each person's comfort. Residents can join in lots of activities-games, crafts, gardening, singalongs, special events, music therapy, movies, weekly Mass, and even group dining outings-so there's a steady calendar of things for folks to try if they want to.

    They've got an occupancy rate close to 72 percent, and folks who move in for independent living enjoy modern apartments, light housekeeping, meals, and transport, while those needing a closer level of care have access to round-the-clock support, personal care, laundry, housekeeping, and all sorts of therapy and medical support. There's a family council, but not a resident council, and families are encouraged to take part in planning and decision-making. The building's had some recent renovations to keep amenities comfortable and up to date, and you can see photos of what life looks like right there. All in all, St. Teresa offers a wide variety of long-term and short-term care, a friendly team, many amenities, a focus on dignity and support, and a history of high quality recognized through state inspections and national awards.
