Attentive staff, 5 star facility, very happy at The Chelsea

5 stars all the way across the board, our family has been very happy with The Chelsea at Montville. The main reason we went with this facility was because of their willingness to take Medicaid when my mom's funds run out, that was a big plus for us. The facility is very clean and the staff is very attentive. The nursing staff keeps me well informed on my Mom's health. The custodial staff keeps my Mom's room and the rest of the facility clean and well- organized.
