NewBridge on the Charles receives highly polarized reviews, with a stark divide between the experiences of independent living residents and those in the rehabilitation or skilled nursing units. While independent living residents frequently praise the beautiful grounds, robust social programming, and management's response to COVID-19, families of rehab and nursing patients report severe issues including neglect, understaffing, and poor communication. Potential families should be aware of consistent reports of slow response times to call bells and concerns regarding the quality of clinical care.
