The rooms are messy and the staff has a disgusting attitude. No thank you!

My tour of Academy Point at Mystic was very good. The person that gave us the tour was excellent. It needed probably some updating. The rugs in the hallways had a lot of stain and things like that, but they were aware of it, and they were planning to do it, but they were delayed due to COVID.

We will be moving our mom to Academy Point at Mystic. We chose this place because it had a homier feel to it compared to others, and the room my mom would have is a nicer room. We're hoping to get her into a one-bedroom apartment, and it really looks like a one-bedroom apartment; it was very nice compared to the other ones. The staff was wonderful, and the director that I've been in contact with is wonderful. She's answered every email that I've sent her, and she's even asked about my mom and how she's doing. She's just been great. We also met the chef, and the food sounded wonderful. The upkeep and maintenance were pretty good. They were actually putting in new data cables when we were there, so it's nice to know that they're constantly trying to keep up with everything. They have basically the same amenities as everybody else, they have the laundry and linen housekeeping services, the food, and the activities. She showed us the activities calendar and it looked great, like it would be a good match for my mom. They have pet therapy and they also offer outings for memory care residents. We got to view their patio outside, which was nice; that lets you know she can go outside and enjoy the weather. Their dining room is just beautiful, they have a view that overlooks the Mystic River, it's just great.

My mother moved into Academy Point in Mystic in 2018 after falling several times in her home. Her last fall resulted in a severe leg break which required extensive surgery. She was bedridden in a ‘non-load bearing status’ for six months so her leg could heal. My 85-year-old stepfather was unable to care for her needs in their home where she’d likely fall again. So, my spouse and I toured facilities to find them a new home. We decided on Academy Point. The facility is light and clean, staff are friendly and courteous, and my mother has a fabulous view of the mystic seaport from her room. Prices were competitive with other assisted living facilities. When my mother arrived at Academy Pt, she needed a significant amount of assistance completing her basic daily needs. The staff happily provided that care, albeit for an additional cost. As my mother recuperated, she was able to regain control and taper back on the additional services/costs. During this period, my stepfather passed away. Bonnie and her team were great, helping my mom through this difficult transition both physically and emotionally. We even held a memorial service for my stepfather on the back patio at the Academy Point facility. Finally, I should add that Bonnie and her team have managed the Covid situation in a balanced and professional way. My mother received both shots in an expeditious manner. Very few residents became sick. And they made every effort to enable family to visit in a safe manner. Living in the Academy Point community, my mother seems happier than she’s been in years, laughing, telling jokes, arguing about politics. She cares for herself, has friends, attends reading groups, paints in art class, and, prior to Covid, started to play Bridge again. She recently called me to tell me excitedly that she’d been ‘made Dummy’ during her last bridge game. I’m not sure what that means, but I think it’s a good thing!

I toured Academy Point at Mystic. I was told by one of the residents that the food was extraordinary, but I did not experience it myself. They showed me a studio, a one bedroom that was like a classroom, after all it was a school, but there was nice woodwork, and about two blocks walk from downtown Mystic. You can see the river from many of the rooms, but I don't think from all of the rooms. The downside was the cost.

I visited Academy Point at Mystic for my dad. It is a beautifully situated, old school house that looks out at the river and is so pretty. It's dated, though, and wasn’t the right kind of place for my father. I didn’t like the memory care unit at all. I was so depressed when I went into the memory unit, but as far as their assisted living and independent living, it was beautiful. The apartments were incredible, airy, and had views of the water. The residents seemed to be happy. I think it was lovely place, but it wasn’t going to work for my father.
