What this means for your family

While the facility receives consistently high star ratings, the lack of detailed written reviews makes it difficult to verify day-to-day operations. We recommend scheduling an in-person tour to observe staff interactions with residents and asking specific questions about their pediatric care protocols.

Google Reviews

12 reviews on Google
New England Pediatric Care receives high ratings from the limited number of reviewers who provided written feedback, specifically highlighting the deep care provided to children and their families. However, the vast majority of reviews consist of star ratings without any descriptive text, making it difficult to assess the facility's operational performance or quality of care based on these reviews alone.

2deficiencies
Well below state avg (8.9)
1 complaint-triggered

This facility has a concerning pattern of repeated deficiencies, particularly in care planning which has appeared across three surveys from 2023-2025, fire safety systems, and smoke detection equipment. One family filed a complaint in 2023 regarding nursing staff competency. While all violations have correction dates, the recurrence of care planning and safety issues suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully consider.
