20 Best Cna Programs In New Haven, CT (2022 Updated)

This place is a perfect example of “you get what you pay for”. I attended September 2009 – May 2018 (with a 3 year gap from 2012-2015). The hospitality teachers and department head were wonderful, and a lot of my general Ed teachers were amazing too and I have nothing but great things to say about the teachers. However, the registrar office and academic advisors were a nightmare to deal with. No one ever smiles, my message NEVER got relayed to the right person, and it was such a headache to deal with offices equivalent to dealing with the DMV. They also claimed that when you graduate you can transfer your credits to a state college which is false. Some of the credits transferred, but classes like Math don’t transfer and I have to take a placement test to get into the same exact math class I took at Gateway and passed the class with an A. The bookstore staff was the most incapable, rude, useless group of people. Graduation was a completely unorganized joke – they told graduates to arrive 2 hours early to stand in a parking lot with no instruction and 1 porta potty for about 300 people. They also only announce 1 of your degrees – so if you have 3 degrees they won’t even take the extra 5 seconds to announce all 3 (I thought graduation was supposed to recognize your achievements?) I would have never wasted my time going to graduation if I knew how pathetic it would be. Parking on campus in New Haven was crazy and the lot constantly overflows into the Temple Street lot so you get to walk in stairways that smell like urine with bums roaming the lot and drunk people stumbling to their car after your class at 9:30 at night with no security guards to get to your car. Literally no security whatsoever like your completely on your own in a public lot in the heart of New Haven. Like most schools, they don’t allow weapons inside the building so you don’t even have a way to defend yourself if you get approached in the lot which will happen at some point. There were also hospitality classes that I had to buy things out of pocket and was promised reimbursement that never happened.Nina Tiso

I loved working with the children in the Early Learning Center, but the adults in the classroom didn't really treat me that well. They didn't really accommodating me that well when it came to tasks such as setting the table for breakfast,lunch, and snack. A coworker got nasty because I wasnt moving fast enough for her. I'm visually impaired and I have to take my time because of my vision. I had to complain about this coworker 2 times. Another thing that didnt make sense was I had to walk to the other side of campus to eat lunch for my 30 minute break. The teacher of the classroom would get mad at me for being late because I am a slow eater and I cant move fast again because of my bad vision. student teachers aren't allowed to eat in the teachers lounge. I shouldn't have had to complain to my boss about eating in the teacher lounge. This place needs to be more accommodating to student teachers with disabilities and staff needs to be more compassionate. I am very glad that I don't work at this place anymore! I wish the adults would learn compassion from the children!Jasmyn Polite

Beautiful atmosphere. I was in their old building on Long wharf years ago, and seeing how they've grown and progressed into what I consider a university now, is life changing for the people attending this college. For a community college, they offer so much for the students with assistance as well as their educational endeavors. Their cafe offers delicious varieties which includes a wide range of healthy choices. Very inviting environment for the students to learn in. I get the feeling that this University cares about the students that attend itDelbra Wilson

I went here for my first two years of college. Here's what I've noticed. – The people here are great, for the most part. – UNH emphasizes on a welcoming environment – There's always new development like the Bergami center which is a very nice looking building. – I lived in Westside and Winchester halls. Both are good! – I was in Engineering which I struggled in, but when I changed my major to accounting I had no struggle. – I just really wish UNH was more helpful with finance and mental health. – They were WAY too strict with Covid. Yes, I understand the dangers, but we're adults you have to remember. They threatened to suspend if you violate rules, even accidentally. They also quarantined my entire hall in 2020 just because one student got covid. I really didn't believe they had to be that harsh. – They were also TERRIBLE with communication when moving in for my 2nd year (because of covid), and I had to spend a month trying to figure out when to move in. – The Accessibility resources center is a good place, but once they forbid me from using a calculator on a chemistry exam in March of 2020. Everybody but the ARC staff thought that was terrible. – Their math department was terrible. The professors meant well, but it was not taught in an interesting way. – On a positive note, they are fantastic at safety. In January of 2021 I got cyberbullied by someone in the school who made threats including a death threat. The ResLife dept. handled it very well and the police took it very seriously and found the guy doing it, someone who I thought was a friend. He was suspended. Overall, UNH is not perfect, but their heart is in the right place. I didn't leave for any of these reasons listed, that's another story entirely. But if you are Nick, Chris, Lucas, Antonia, Victoria, Makayla, Jenna, Galianna, Alexa, or Patrick, I miss you!James Shewan

I attended UNH between spring 2019 and January 2021 (two years) as a transfer, and earned a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice (Investigative Services Concentration). I am giving this school 3 stars because excluding a very good academic experience, there were too many low moments I experienced at UNH for me to give this review more stars. These low moments range from lack of opportunities for commuter students (which is what I was for 3/4 semesters), existing social circles that prevent prospective students from feeling any sense of belonging, the school's fostering and promotion of the word "LatinX", and other things. (Mainly because I am a Latino/Hispanic male originally from South America, and don't see how the word is applicable to the Central/South American community). The pandemic did affect the college experience in spring 2020, but my experience was already going downhill well before this. For these reasons, I feel as though this was an era of my life that never happened. Above all, I find it difficult to talk about this era and school in more positive (than negative) ways. I do recommend this school for my degree. My professors did an excellent job of teaching me. But it all does come at a cost because setbacks or letdowns (described above) can quickly affect a student's experience. Likewise, I am considering graduate school here because my professional job search opened my eyes to how graduate degrees are becoming the new standard for the U.S workforce. Hope this helps.Marc Conrad

The beauty of this school is not just about the academic excellence and great facilities, but the diversity; it’s almost as if every nationality is represented here. Everyone is friendly from the students to the academic staffers, non-academic staffers, to the school security operatives. When I visited this school I observed wheelchair accessibility is greatly adhered to in this institution. I also noticed there’s a 24/7 Wells Fargo Bank ATM point on this campus. Consequently, you will always have access to cash. When you school here you also get to enjoy the magnificence of New Haven, West Haven and most of all New York City, since it’s just less than an hour ride with your car or via the Metro-North Train. This school is pretty close to road and be easily noticed from a vehicle in normal traffic. #NewHaven #WestHaven #UNH #University #AcademicsExcellence #CT #Connecticut #OnGoogleMaps #Google #LetsGuide #GreatFacilities #WheelchairAccessible #KnowledgeU-roy Felix Agboli

Although my professors have been awesome, the university as a whole is horribly disorganized and mismanaged. The various staff of different departments are uniformly rude and uninformed. I've gotten wrong and/or misleading information on basic protocol literally EVERY SINGLE TIME I've spoken with someone (where do I submit work study requests? Can I still carry student insurance if I'm part-time?) Regarding the insurance, I was told "yes" by 2 different pople. HOWEVER, the answer to that is it's automatically cancelled when you register online for classes and it is received as part-time, so then you have to re-enroll as a new client at a higher rate. I found this out when I was trying to fill a prescription and after much investigation found out that my insurance had been cancelled. This is one of the MANY problems I've experienced with Southern administration. Equally as faulty, is the technology "services" that Southern uses. Windows 7 computers in the computer labs that take (no joke) 5-20 mins to log you on if there are more than 3 people in the room and remote printing that requires an installation on your laptop every time you want to use it. This is recommend since you'll otherwise sit for 20 mins for the lab computer to log on and then progress to opening and printing a file at the speed of dial-up. If you need to reach anyone (computing services, the bookstore) for questions, you'll be strained to find contact info outside of the (203)392-SCSU main office number. A detailed Google search rarely finds the phone numbers associated with specific offices. Most recently, for the past month as Southern has started the fall semester, their network has become so overloaded that the mail server periodically un-syncs all of my devices from their email (iPhone, Mac) so I don't get mail or know that an email I sent never actually sent, since it doesn't appear in ANY outbox or draft folder from any device. But since it happens off-and-on, as the SCSU network comes and goes as it pleases, I've not known about the missed emails until someone tells about a group email I missed. Lastly, and kinda most importantly, Southern's crap internet system occasionally doesn't recognize my password for Bannerweb, email, and Blackboard. Confoundingly, this doesn't occur on these applications all in one sitting. MANY TIMES I've sat and typed my password into Blackboard 5+ times and magically after repeated entries it suddenly works!!! Always had the same problem logging into "myscsu" and trying to get my email back online to the Southern server. Recommendation: If you're enrolling as a full-time undergraduate, I would HIGHLY recommend looking for a school elsewhere because you're DEFINITELY not getting your money's worth at this institution. Note: they also have no funding for student work study anymore, so don't count on that for extra money/tuition expenses. If you're taking classes part-time, for a job or continuing education, it will be a frustrating experience, but not a total waste of money. Botton line, I rated 2 stars because the professors and experiences with classmates have been awesome this past year, but the university as a whole is beyond frustrating.Jennifer Vollmer

im usually not the type of person to be negative and leave lengthy reviews but this is so necessary being that im so extremely disappointed with this school! I went for a tour in November of 2017 fell in love with the campus so I decided to apply as a transfer student in April of 2018! I sent in my fee waiver form April 20th I was told it takes 2-3weeks to hear back from the school, ok cool! here it is a MONTH later still no response, nor any communication to even let me know they've received my fee waiver form and that id be hearing from them soon or whatever the case may be just complete silence!!! not to mention the students that answer the phone are very rude and snappy! I withdrew my application and applied to Iona college! I applied with them got an acceptance letter, got my financial situation settled, paid my deposit all within a week, easy as 1,2,3 as it SHOULD be. Its an excellent school with a countless number of awards, i feel as though the process of applying to schools should be as easy and stress free as possible! Im extremely dissatisfied with my experience with this school it literally had everything I was looking for campus wise, but everything happens for a reason and being that Im going into the education field I've been told from numerous amounts of educators that im better off getting a job, with a degree from Iona under my belt. The purpose of this review is not to trash talk or to persuade anyone into not applying here but rather to allow others to be aware of what they may possibly come into contact with when applying to this school and perhaps a change can come about for the next student. : ) Blessings.Alexa Griffin

If I could give Southern zero stars I absolutely would. They are extremely unorganized, they don't care about you as a student AT ALL.. They cancelled a BIO class that I really needed a week before classes start. I emailed the head of the department asking for a solution and all I got was a too bad.. Now because of this I have to attend an extra semester and will not be graduating in time.. They offer classes at odd times which makes it hard for you to sign up for classes back to back, so far the professors I had don't care about you and are not understanding.. I graduated from Western Connecticut and I never had a problem with them and now because of Southern I have to spend more of my time and money that I don't have…Barbara Monteiro

This school was perfect ! The hours worked perfectly for me and it offered everything I need. The instructors are nice and friendly, they prepare you for what to expect in the field. Everything is hands on and the material is easy to keep up with and understand. It is an accelerated program so be prepared to pay attention and keep up with the work. The test and quizzes are super easy and there is no way you can fail this course unless you do not try! The school also offers CPR for free! the CPR instructor Sean is amazing ! He makes you leave knowing you can save a life ! I would recommend this course to anyone who is trying to further their career. Thank you Northeast Medical InstituteNajera Robinson

This class was very informative and clear to understand. I feel very confident in my skills after taking the CPR class. The instructor Lauren was very knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable asking questions. The environment was clean and they had a lot of equipment that was used during the course. Would highly recommend them. Look forward to getting certified again in two years with them.Gabriela Panico

This CNA Program was great! It was self-paced which gave me a lot of flexibility during my day. The online program was similar to a movie which made it go by fast. The in class clinical and lab was great! We went over all the CNA skills. The school is right off the Merritt parkway so it was very close for me. If you live in New haven it is right over the border. Highly recommend!Rob D

My name is Glendora McMillan. I Just completed the Phlebotomy training/class at Excel Academy, 100 Broadway, North Haven, CT. When, I decided to go back to school, I am so grateful to have found Excel Academy. The staff Daniel, Christine, Nancy are truly dedicated in helping you to strive in achieving your goals. I am truly honored and blessed for my instructor/teacher Ms Paola. She taught me so much and I've learned so much from her. I know with the knowledge and skills that she has taught me, I will be a caring and successful Phlebotomy Technician. Thank You again, Ms. Paola and Excel Academy.Glendora McMillan

What an awesome experience! This program goes beyond just teaching you foundational skills of becoming a great CNA. The instructors to the front office and owner want you to succeed in every aspect of life and are willing to support your needs. I want to especially thank Mona and Andrea, both instructors really went above and beyond and I would say I learned more from them in a short time then a couple of my college professors. I would also like to thank Daniel and the front office for making me feel really supported and I can’t wait to carry my lessons from here to my future goals!Shivam Gandhi

Nancy was wonderful and helpful from the first day I called the school for information regarding the CNA course. She even offered to bring my registration documents to me because I don't drive. The instructors Miss Mona and Miss Andrea are super amazing. Learning was easy and fun because they put their hearts into teaching us and I am extremely grateful. Daniel (the owner of the school) is super laid back and is very involved like a proud father!! Excel Academy is definitely the school to attend if you are interested in any of the courses they provide.Isha Robin

Thank you NEMI for the great experience! I started the class in late July early August with the online self paced cna program and then went rifht to the lab and labs skills. Right from the get go I was told everything I needed to know even about the clinical waiver which was is process. We were asked to sign a covid form which explained all the requirements that CT DPH set to graduate. The teacher Tymel and owner were great! The responsiveness was unbelievable! Anytime I had a question or wanted to know when the waiver would be approved they told me the most up to date information. I even emailed the DPH to see what was taking so long and they explained it is a process and NEMI had no authority, like mentioned, to process our certificates until they received the clinical waiver. Northeast Medical helped me attain my Temp NA to use for the mean time. The hands on skill training and the online were excellent! They go very much in depth about what happens in nursing homes and brings it to life by representing the nursing home with short video clips. WELL TODAY IS THE DAY! I RECEIVED AN EMAIL THAT THE WAIVER WAS APPROVED! Now I can go and get tested at a prometric testing facility! I would highly recommend this school, they kept us safe during covid with their mandatory protocols and allowed me to attain my cna certificate of completion online!Matt D

I am currently taking the CNA course and have already learned so much in my first three days. My instructors, Nitra and Najera, are incredibly informative and make the class fun. I also had the pleasure of taking Sean’s BLS class, and am pleased to say he made 3 hours feel like 30 minutes…which is a good thing. He was easy to follow, helpful, and kept the class engaged. I am very happy I chose Northeast Medical Institute!Laura DeLucia

I had to take my CPR class here for work. My instructor was Sean and he was wonderful! I was the only student in the class so I was able to ask as many questions as I wanted. Sean was intricate in his answers and went through the entire class without missing a single important detail. I scored a 92% on my test and my errors on the last 2 questions were due to my lack of attention to detail. Thank you so much!s a

I cannot say enough positive things about Homewatch CareGivers of New Haven. Matthew and his team are the real deal. In looking for proper care for my father, we went back and forth with other agencies but none were nearly as comprehensive, knowledgeable, supportive, and caring as Matthew and his team at Homewatch. The caregivers that Matthew matched us up with are nothing short of phenomenal. They touch base with us (the rest of the family) every day to let us know how Dad is doing, and he has been thriving with them!! He's doing better than he's done in over a year since the Homewatch aides have been caring for him. They clearly take their jobs very seriously and emphasize the "care" in "caregiver". They play board games with him, go on walks with him, and make sure he has his meals and meds on time each day. It's like they've given him a new lease on life at age 93. Matthew was also invaluable in setting up prescription delivery through a local pharmacy so that we never have to worry about Dad running low on medications, etc. Matthew is literally "on call" for us 24/7. He has personally come by to check on things and make sure all is going well, and offers to help with any physician appointments, etc. He has been a much-needed liaison between our family and Dad's physicians, the Visiting Nurse Association, physical and occupational therapists, etc. It's been such a weight off our shoulders knowing that Matthew is on top of all of these things – more than we ever could be. He has also been a great sounding board and source of support and advice for each of us in dealing with the aging process. I would highly recommend Matthew and his team of caregivers at Homewatch CareGivers of New Haven to anyone seeking the highest quality of care, coordination, and supervision of their loved ones' needs. Thank you Matthew and team!!!I.M. Carrington

I only have the best things to say about Homewatch CareGivers of New Haven, Matthew, and the aides we have. Prior to finding Matthew and his team, we had worked with several agencies, as we have needed help for my father. We had dealt with no-shows, high turnover, and aides that didn't really seem to grasp the importance of engaging with my dad, not just waiting until he needed assistance with something. I won't lie – my parents are not the easiest of clients, but Matthew and his kind and skillful team have brought a massive sigh of relief to us. From the very beginning, Matthew requested medical and behavioral/ lifestyle information in order to understand what my dad's needs are. Matthew contacted the rehab where my dad was and his doctor, in order to make sure he had accurate information about dad's condition. Matthew also took it upon himself to sort out dad's medications, which was a Herculean task!! He even set my parents up with a local pharmacy that packages and delivers the meds. In the first couple of weeks, Matthew would often come by himself to check on things. We have two wonderful aides, in a 24/7 live-in situation, and it has been a complete game changer. One of the most impressive elements (which we were never able to get other agencies to do) is that Matthew setup a communication portal for us, so that we (the children) can receive daily (usually multiple times/ day) updates on how dad is doing. We also use this to make sure everyone knows when his Dr. appointments are, and how he will be getting there. I could go on and on, but I will finish by saying that Matthew and Homewatch CareGivers of New Haven really goes above and beyond (compared to everyone else we have worked with) and they are very patient, which is critical when dealing with people (my parents) who really don't think they need help (!!).Katie McHugh

My family was looking for a caregiver for my father. After some research I called Homewatch and spoke to Matthew Peterson. He was wonderful, actually. He and I spoke two more times over the next few days and then we had an in person meeting that included my mom and sister. We were so encouraged. And hopeful. Matthew told us he had five potential caregivers on his team who he thought would connect well with my father. The next day, Monday, a wonderful woman came to stay with my father. We thought we were so fortunate that we chose the right agency! The next evening, Tuesday, the caregiver did not show up. Matthew apologized profusely….said he had a zero tolerance policy for a no call, no show. My family went without a caregiver for that evening. On Wednesday, Matthew sent another caregiver, also very nice. On Thursday, she did not show. After quite the heated discussion between my sister and Matthew, he assured us via phone and email that he had another caregiver that would be coming on Friday. Matthew said he would be at my mom and dad's house too, in order to make the introductions. Although Matthew did arrive to make the introductions, no caregiver ever showed up. We promptly fired the agency. Three no shows in the first week….very disappointing and disheartening. All the time researching, the phone calls, the meeting…all the time that we took with Matthew…was a complete waste of time. If I could give less than one star, I would; however, Yelp requires at least one star. If I didn't know any better, I would think that Homewatch Caregivers is a scam and not actually a legitimate agency. Lia EspositoLia Sabin

I started the electrical program in June of 2021 and had a pleasant experience to start. I was in a class with about twelve other students and felt that I was learning and retaining information adequately partly due to the class size. Fast forward a few months and our class has almost quadrupled in size. Half of the class is required to sit in one room and watch the instructor on a projector while he is in another room with the other half of the class. It is now to the point where students have to rely on other students to teach them certain things because of how thin the instructors have been stretched. I, as well as numerous other students, have voiced their displeasure with administration multiple times but we've essentially been told that it's something were gonna have to deal with. I can't speak highly enough on behalf of the instructors Mr. Sterling and Mr. DeFelice who clearly care about their student's education, but it is evident that Lincoln Tech (New Britain) as a whole does not. I can't speak on behalf of the other Lincoln Tech campuses but I imagine they are run similar. If you are someone looking at tech schools I implore you to look at all your options.Tyler Mattioda

When I first applied it was to go into the nursing program but I was discouraged by the person I met with. She said since I was a single parent it would be hard for me to take and keep up with classes and referred me to apply to the medical assistant program instead which I reluctantly did. (Big mistake) even though I had made deans list, was one of the top in the class grades wise and had a 3.76 gpa I was placed last for an "externship" and then when placed I was placed in a small office that didn't need an extra medical assistant. I didn't get a job and wasn't helped securing one either. I was so pissed I didn't even show to graduation! I also aced my Registration exam the first time and was THE only person in my class to get registered or certified. I wasted time away from my child and had to take out two loans I'm STILL paying for with nothing to show. I always discourage people from going here because it's not worth it. And the kicker!!! Placed want at least a year or 2 experience before they hire you so it's extremely hard to find work when you only get less than a months training in your field! Would've been better off at a community college or 4 year school.kanosha norman

I looked into this school a few years ago, and when i showed up to take the tour they said i first had to sign in by writing my name and phone number down on the sign-in sheet. I felt uncomfortable doing this, but they wouldn't give me the tour unless I provided them with my phone number for some reason. Well, it turns out that the reason is so that they can continue to sent you text messages begging you to attend their school, even several years after you already decided not to. Blocking the number doesn't work either as they use a different number each time. If you decide to look into this school, i *highly* recommend providing them with a fake phone number when you sign in.Andrew Preston

I’ve debated on weather or not to post but everyone asks me if I would recommend this school. The teachers there are amazing, they want to make sure you learn and know what you are doing. To be honest once you get to clinical they forget about you. I asked for help on multiple occasions because I was struggling with a protocol, I was told “we will put a schedule for you to come to the school with a teacher to learn more and you will go to the hospital one day a week” this was in addition to be already being at a clinic site 5 days a week. That never happened, I was told during one meeting when I asked to switch to vascular so I can have that experience on my resume that if the general site I was at now liked me I should stay because if I make a good impression they will let other students go to that site. I give credit to my teachers but that’s about the only good thing I can say about this school. I’ve had employers say they won’t hire if you go to this school because of the reputation. I know they’ve made changed and added staff since I graduated last summer but I would suggest making sure you do all your research on what accreditation’s the school actually has before making your choice on where to get your education. I thankfully was able to find a job on my own many months afterwards. Do your research and look up their accreditation’s before signing any contract with them.Lindsey Genovese

I recently graduated from AIHT, Cardiovascular Technology program. I did my clinical hours at Windham Hospital in Willimantic where I got hired right after. During covid, I realized how important the healthcare field was so I decided that I wanted to pursue my career in the medical field. After searching for and touring a few schools in my area I chose the AIHT ultrasound program. Lauren and Ravish were very helpful explaining all the steps and processes. As a single mother, AIHT’s flexible hybrid program enabled me to balance my personal life and school schedule really well. Upon completion of my clinical hours I felt really confident about my knowledge and felt comfortable taking the CCI board exam. I scored a 845 and officially became Registered Cardiac Sonographer. Finally, I want to thank all of the instructors and staff at AIHT for enabling me to start my new journey in the medical field as a Cardiac Sonographer.Yossinee Israsena

I'm very happy I found AIHT school which fit into my schedule and was close to my house. All the professors and administrators were good and helpful. I'm very THANKFUL for having KRISTEN & DONALD as ECHO scanning instructors because they really benefited me and made a great impact in my career. They are very knowledgeable and have plenty years of experience. They were very helpful and prepared me for the hospital environment. Stamford hospital crew were amazing and I can't thank them enough for helping me pursue my true dream. I'm overall thankful for the program. It is deff not easy just be prepared to put in the time, effort, and to study hard.Madeleyn C

My mother-in-law was among the first residents to the memory care unit at Chatham Place when it opened. She (and we) experienced the usual bumps that happen with ANY life transition of this kind. Providing care for elders with memory deficit is not an easy task. Chatham Place has been able to bring together all of the elements necessary: a beautiful building, lots of activities for residents, kind and helpful staff. What is most appealing is knowing that CP is a part of the Mary Wade tradition, which has been known for excellence in nursing care in our area for many years. Don't overlook this gem!Pat Heavren

I provide a free service that helps seniors find the right senior living community that fits their lifestyle, social needs, location and budget where they can feel loved, secure and happy. I love Chatham Place. It’s in a perfect location in the heart of New Haven with a budget and lifestyle to suite just about everyone. It’s a new, state of the art community with a great energy. And Frank Rende is the consummate Sales Director. Call Frank for a tour. You’ll love it too. Five stars 🌟 ++Cynthia Montano

My mother has recently moved from a condo in West Palm Beach, Fl to Chatham Place. This brings her close to family and friends and we couldn’t be happier. The staff has been wonderful. Supportive and empathic. It is a great move for her. See is settling in nicely, taking advantage of exercise, gatherings, excursions and making new friends.Diane Panasci

Deciding it was time to have someone come into our home and help care for my loved one was difficult. Peoples’homes are private and personal. Having a stranger in that space seemed like it would be uncomfortable and weird. It hasn’t been. Margaret and Gordon came highly recommended by a professional in the field and we haven’t been disappointed. In the couple of years we have been working together, Margaret and Gordon have completely taken care of us. They are super responsive when things come up and our needs change. Once, there was a last minute emergency that prevented our companion from coming so Gordon came! Imagine that happening with another organization! I have recommended them to others numerous times and will continue to do so. It is not a coincidence when everyone in an organization treats clients with dignity and respect. Clearly, Margaret and Gordon expect that from their employees- they certainly model it themselves.christine pagano

We were at a loss as to what to do when my mother-in-law needed our help. The family decided a live in was what we needed. I contacted Synergy and was so impressed with their thoroughness! Every “t” was crossed and every “i” was dotted. The two caregivers we had were wonderful with our Mom. Mom accepted them gracefully and they took very good care of Mom. Today we are ending our care with Synergy as the family has again decided as Mom nears the end of her life that we will care for her until God sees fit to call her home. God bless Synergy and thank you. We highly recommend Synergy!Elizabeth Pascarella

I contacted synergy to get help for my parents. Gordon and Margaret were absolutely fantastic!!. They met with me right away, went out of their way to make my family feel comfortable in every possible way! They were there for us anytime we needed them, their staff was amazing! They even communicated on the weekend to check in to see how my parents were doing, and provide direction, totally went above and beyond!! I should also mention they are very reasonably priced! I highly recommend them for any care that you need!Marlene Lafata

Mr.miles was a stellar teacher. Not only his versatile teaching style was very helpful in my learning the way he would work with students with language barriers was phenomenal. Not only he would teach you what you need to know he would also learn things from him you can apply to your only life too. You would walk in his class not knowing anything then leave his class feeling like you can take on the world. He was Teacher, Mentor and friend I do not regret coming to Mr. miles class at Training direct.mbjames

I’m very grateful I’ve decided to do my CNA course at Training Direct in Bridgeport. Our teacher, Mr. Miles went above and beyond to explain and to demonstrate all techniques. He made everything look simple, safe, efficient and pleasant. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Thank you Training Direct and super thank you to Mr. Miles!Pátria Do Mundo

Training Direct campus is excellent. I had a great time at BPT campus during my CNA class 2022. Miss Norma is very excellent in advising me on classes I needed to complete my course. Miss Dyana – is a very great instructor. Thanks alot for helping me accomplish my goals.Lauren Palmer

I had a great experience! The classes and the hands on training are easily to follow! The CNA instructor, Tyemel is very professional and easy going. He pays attention to any detail that needs to be correct it. He also gives you tips, website references and answer all the questions that you may have! The administration is always there for you and they are more than happy to help if help is needed! Highly recommended! 🙂Yajaira Christian

What a great experience at Northeast Medical Institute! Their staff answered all my questions I had during the registration process. The instructor was great! He definitely knew his stuff and was not to hard on the class which made it a more comfortable learning environment. Highly recommend! I will definitely be referring friends and family.Tim C

Highly recommend this CNA and Phlebotomy program for someone who is interested in a quick/informative program near Hartford CT. This program allows you to take it half online and then finish up the nurse aide and phlebotomy skills in person.Robert Frost

The 3 people we spoke to were nice but after getting up extra early, catching s bus across town in the freezing cold the person didn't even show up for the program! They called him 3x he didn't answer or call back! The word "crisis" is in the name and the guy didn't show up and couldn't even call and its the last program of the month! Just like everyone else if its not THEIR crisis they don't care and have no consideration for anyone else! Update: approximately one week after this review and a phone voicemail message i was contacted with an explanation for why no one showed up to the scheduled session. According to the person i spoke to the MCJT program shouldn't be on the regular job center schedule for 2x a month. One person was sick and the other was on leave and the program only goes to the BLVD office on an as needed basis in conjunction with other pertinent programs. I look forward to meeting with someone at the BLVD office next week (if my post surgical restrictions are cleared) and being able to participate asap afterwards. Update: I met members of the team and with their help I've begun Microsoft certification online.Blue

Always a helpful environment, but like anything in life the only get out of it the amount you honestly put into it. This place is also helpful for if you gotta send a fax out for a job or something like that. You can come here and use the fax machine or go online and our an put in applications as much as you want. Thats awesome if your having hard times and cant afford internet at the moment this is a awesome thing that they offer simce so many companies have changed to online applications if you dont have Internet access that takes you outta 50% of the job market.Troy Stevens Jr

My advise for the people like me just want to get help from new haven job center do not waste your time I sent more than 4 months and after that they told me I am not approved for the fund during on that time I participated in several job orientation and other workshops and prints and copies documents and spent some money and took some math and reading test and I passed and after it I am not eligible for the fund I wast my 4 months for nothing . My question is if I am not eligible why they not confirmed me on the first day it is funny .Samim Yusufi

Nope. Never again. Unpleasant staff. Very demeaning social worker, and the supervisors….forget it. The day my mom was admitted, they had no paperwork for her to sign about her items she brought with her or anything, and arrived by 4pm. The hospital referred them for their respiratory program of which my mom NEEDED and NEVER received. They gave her a lousy week of therapy and then made her do everything on her own. Finally, they lost a few of my moms clothing and refused to try to find them…..after 3 damn weeks. Then when I requested reimbursement, they said to talk to administration. Terrible place to go.Victoria Smith

This place suck the patients or elderly who stay there are treated terrible. I have witnessed people begging and pleading for help and the lazy workers sat there and ignored their cries for help. The workers are more interested in watching television and being lazy. The elderly should be taken care of better than what I have witnessed. It is very sad to see this type of behavior just sickening. I would not bring my dog there no way. Someone really need to investigate this place fast.Esteevot

As a care manager, I had a client living in Mary Wade for memory care for 6 months before she passed. I visited frequently during that time and witnessed how attentive, compassionate and playful the staff were to the patients. She was kept clean, comfortable, and dignified all while receiving every level of necessary care including hospice services. The staff at Mary Wade were wonderful! I would absolutely recommend this facility to families needing memory care for their loved one!Heather Dostert

I have a family member that's been being cared here for sometime now! I have to say that I so not happy with how there being cared for! Your structure is nice on the first floor but internally needs for the residents aren't being met! Yu should look into nurse but the name of Yvonne that works for your facility. She is mis treating and I don't think this would look good. If you don't take action. I'll will have the seek private investigation. I care about my family that should not be treated no less. Is this type of treatment is what your facility stand for our family bring done so wrong!Liv Stallings

EXCEPTIONAL!! No words can describe the awesome care my uncle receives at Advanced Center for Nursing and Rehab. (I had two aunts there as well, last year). The facility is exceptional on all ends. Outstanding nursing care, the staff is compassionate and caring. Rehab is amazing, they work wonders. Food is delicious, Dad never lets me bring outside food, he loves the food. Recreation does a great job, always something fun happening, just positive vides throughout the facility at all times. The facility is in great condition, very well kept and always shining. Would definitely recommend!!!Blake B

My stay at Advance was very interesting. Matthew, the Director of Conciergewas very helpful in getting me information when I had questions. The CNAs were very helpful and most of my nurses were too. Some of my nurses tried to help me feel normal by just talking with me about other stuff that had me depressed. One nurse even made it her business to come in and make me laugh. One nurse wanted me walking, so she would walk with me upstairs. Some of the CNAs treated me like family instead of just a number. I truly appreciate all of those that helped in my recovery process.Carolyn Charleston

If I cancel classes before I complete it do I owe money for the remaining balance (and I do not come back in the 3 month period) will that balance be defaulted. Altho I paid ahead for classes I did not attend to yet, will the remaining balance affect my credit score? Will it go to collections? I need clear answers. Also the website says this. I would email and keep this private but I seem to not get a clear answer.Sam Sparrow

I took a phlebotomy course here this past month and I am beyond happy that I attended here. Dr. Chavarry was an absolute amazing teacher and super knowledgeable. The staff is so loving, welcoming and supportive to each and every one of their students. I will be attended there again for an EKG course and I’m super excited to go back! I would highly recommend going here.Amanda S

I am a pass student of Training Direct Danbury. I got my certifications there, the classes they are good and also recognized by National Healthcare Associates. Classes are good and educational, time management are are also good. You can get a job after you have finish your learning. I am working with thier certification, it is not a bad school. Not bad at all.Jennifer Harris

The way that I would like to start this off is by saying this is the best school I’ve ever attended. Kathy from administration helped me by making sure I understood everything that I needed to. Then Whitley and Jenna from financial aid helped me by making everything in that area easy as pie. After that came one of the best teachers I’ve ever had Beth. She made sure that we understood that the Medical Coding and Billing program was not going to be easy and to be ready to not have a social life outside of school which was not a joke at all. My program was supposed to be 40 weeks (10 months) and with the pandemic it got extended to 15 months. After everything the school was very helpful and also made sure we were safe when the school opened up after being closed due to the pandemic. Emilie and Beth are always there to help out and even do one on ones if needed. The biggest shout out is to the owner of the school Chris Coutts. This is because after I completed my program I was offered to take 3 practice CPC exams and if I passed the owner would pay to take the actual CPC exam. This was completely out side out our program cost. Thanks to Chris Coutts I took my CPC exam on 12/4/2021 and got my results on 12/10/2021 that said I passed. If you are looking to start a new chapter in life and are thinking about Medical Coding and Billing I strongly encourage you to go to American Institute.Rotsen Pizarro

I absolutely love The American Institute. The West Hartford Campus is absolutely amazing. Ever since enrolling with Jason my life has been positively progressing. Jason signed me up back in august. He told me how great this school is as well as the director of my program who is also my teacher, Beth Canny. She is an outstanding, loving, caring teacher. She makes herself available for help at any hour of the day. She always has an open door, and can always assure you that you are capable of this program. She’s hands down the most amazing teacher I’ve personally ever had and I’m so grateful to be apart of the AI family. Jason was awesome in telling me about the program and how nice this school truly is. The school always has its students at heart, and not only while in the building but at home as well. They are always finding ways to help students needs. I am constantly telling family and friends about how amazing the American Institute is.Danielle Dzienciol

I started at American Institute in September 21' for medical assisting on an impulse decision & it's been one of the best choices I've ever made. I called and within 30 minutes Jason called me back to see the campus. He made my choice to register so so easy. I've always wanted to be in the medical field and this school just felt like the place to start my journey. My teachers have been AMAZING. They are so so knowledgable and if they see you care, they will help you succeed by all means. Just in 2 months I've learned so much. I've never done so well in school and I am just so grateful to have found this school. I have also made amazing friendships with likeminded and motivated women. Ignore the bad reviews..If you put in the work, you will have a great experience. If you are motivated and want to start your career in the medical field, this is an amazing place to start!!!!Olivia Lanza

This institute has flexible class times to work with almost anyone’s schedule. It also has an amazing staff and instructors who seek to ensure you completely understand both the curriculum and lab skills. I took the phlebotomy program, and I have zero complaints. Monica is amazing; She labors closely with you, so you have a solid comprehension of the steps, techniques and procedures to execute a successful venipuncture for each patient. You have plenty of hands-on time as well in the lab with your classmates and volunteers, which will give you the competency necessary to work in a medical setting. I definitely recommend!Aleah Hansen

By far the worst school I have ever gone to. They train you enough to pass the national registry but not enough to ever find a job in the different fields. The EMT instructor is sexist and rude, doesn’t help students learn, and isn’t understanding to the needs of students. The director is sarcastic and the company in general is only in it for the money. Not a single person that I know who has taken phlebotomy or EKG has ever found a job due to requirements in the area. When asked for more training they ignore you and tell you that you need to pay even more money for the extra training.Chris Attakk

The phlebotomy program through American Professional Educational Services was phenomenal. The classroom information was presented professionally and accurately without any gaps in content. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and relatable. Ample lab time was provided for maximum hands-on skills learning. I was more than prepared for the national exam and was able to secure a job in the phlebotomy field without a delay. I highly recommend APES programs and certification classes.Debra Gosselin

Kathy Trister Director of Career Services Is amazing, she is professional ,knowledgeable and resourceful.She connected her students with multiple employers and is an excellent mediator between employers and students. She provided excellent service and support for students entering the workforce. Al Mallozzi Electrical dept – Shelton Program Manager was also phenomenal ,he’s caring, knowledgeable and professional. He is instrumental in having students complete the program and follows up with this his students throughout the hiring process. He maintain constant communication with his students while after they have completed Lincoln as an amazing support System.Kadian Weir

I don’t know what these bad reviews are all about, but I got my LPN license a few years ago and I am now working in the field earning a comfortable wage. I felt supported and had all of my questions answered here. My favorite clinical teacher was Mrs. Lisi, she really showed me the ropes. Also, It was accredited as I am now in the process of obtaining my RN. schools can’t be perfect all of the time. There’s always going to be minor annoyances, that doesn’t warrant a negative review. I even recommended my friends to go here.Emily Kent
