The Pines of Newmarket

My friend moved into the Pines of Newmarket, and it's very clean and well-kept. He has a single room with a bathroom and a couple of closets, and we had to bring some furniture in. The amenities are more than adequate. The people are very cooperative and want to make it as homey as possible for the residents. The staff knows everyone's names. The have a one-bedroom, a shared room, and double rooms. They have art, music, and brain games; he's busy all the time.

We chose The Pines of Newmarket for my grandfather. He moved in recently. It's cost-effective. The area is nice. They're taking good care of my grandfather. They serve three meals a day. They provide transportation, but the VA offers it as well, so we use the VA.

We were very fortunate to have found The Pines of Newmarket for our father. They have a small number of residents under 50, it's a single level facility, and they had several choices for room sizes. My dad got a nice medium-sized room at a very reasonable cost. The rooms are well apportioned, and the place was just been redone to the tune of several million dollars, so it's in great condition. The food has been great and the staff has been exemplary. The administrator and the marketing manager couldn't have been more efficient and more pleasant, and assisted us in a lot of the stuff that we had to do. We've been very pleased. There's physical therapy and there's a lot of interactive resident programs. He's a Korean War veteran and there's a large number of men there, more so than in most places. Almost 25% of the residents are elderly gentlemen, and they get together on Wednesday afternoons for three hours to talk about the old days. He plays different community games like Bingo and Charades. They get him out of his room and have him interact with people, and he does physical training four times a week; some of it seated, some of it upright. It's a very engaging facility. The staff go out of their way. When we visit on schedule or have surprise visits, they're all pleasant. The place is always immaculate and everybody's being taken very good care of. This is my fourth elderly relative that we placed in a facility, and The Pines is right at the top. Considering the challenge of feeding that many people, it is institutional food, but it's definitely very high quality. It's been completely redone with new furniture, new amenities, new plumbing fixtures, new bathrooms, and insulated windows because it's very cold up here in the winter months. The overall condition of the facility inside and out is perfect.
