We can’t thank the incredible employees of AristaCare at Manchester enough for the amazing care they provided for our Dad during his recent stay. Starting with Barbara Knowles, External Case Manager, for her kindness, compassion, and professionalism when setting up the hospital transfer, and being there for him throughout his stay. Jackie Rosado and Jackie Hanson both checked in often to be sure he was having a successful experience and received whatever help he needed. There weren’t any issues, but if there were, Betty Belluscio was ready to fix anything that needed to be addressed. Finally wrapping up with Mary, the Post Discharge Coordinator, who continues to check in to be sure he was sent home with all proper medications and all questions answered, even 3 weeks after being discharged! During his stay, all of the employees were amazing, but Evette stands out as a tremendous help getting him ready and set to start each day. Thanks, as well, to Courtney on day shift and James on night shift for their help and wonderful care. The stylish Melissa always kept things running smoothly and efficiently! The Physical Therapy Department got him prepared and strong enough to head home with confidence - in a short amount of time. Finally, Mr. T. stopped by to check in on our Dad and made sure that his time spent at AristaCare at Manchester was the absolute best it could be.

My Father in law was well taken care of like he was one of their own. There was a dietary issue but once we got the right person the right info it was solved. I wouldn't hesitate if I needed it again. Wonderful From the front desk, PT, Nurses, Aides and staff ✨️ especially Yvette, Sam, Courtney I could go on and on🙏
Our Mom spent several weeks here & our family is very happy she did! The nursing staff was wonderful to her & really got to know her & what helped her the most. My Moms only complaint was “they give too much food!” Which is actually a good thing! Even after she was discharged we received follow up calls to make sure everything was going smoothly & was told if we needed anything to just reach out to them. So glad we found a place that cares like they do.
I have been at this facility for almost 4 weeks. I'm a resident for rehab and I can tell you that Therapy has the greatest people and do a stupendous job. The atmosphere in the building is light and enjoyable. Playing music throughout the building. With there help I have stopped smoking and look forward to a healthier life. I would recommend this facility over and over again to anyone needing care or rehab. Thank you to all the Staff, nurses and aides for taking such good care of me.
I have been to two other nursing facilities and Aristacare at Manchester has been the best! For the 3 months I have been here, the staff have been very respectful and went above and beyond for me. Every staff member I encountered were willing to go out of their way to help me, helping even when I did not ask. I would absolutely recommend this facility. The staff all deserve A+ for all of their hard work and effort, especially Mel, Brenda, Carol, Marlene, and Daisy. I've never met anyone as hardworking as Jeniyah!
