"Waveny Care Center appears very nice and is kept well. There are many staff members including full time nurses throughout the night, janitorial staff, and other patient care staff. Given this, however, many of the staff, including the nurses speak with heavy accents which makes it hard for many of the elderly residents who are already hard of hearing to understand. Because of this, patient care is not as efficient as it could be. There are good aspects though. Each person staying in the facility has their own room with a bed, television, and bathroom. Having spoken to people currently staying there, they seem happy yet bored, and seemed all too eager to have a conversation with a complete stranger, me. "

"My husband is going to go daycare at Almost Home Adult Daycare. They serve lunch and they have a scheduled program throughout the day. Basically, some of it the VA would pay for it, so that was important for me; I have some help financially. They were very nice. In fact, we stayed four hours, and they had an entertainer who was there, and the people seemed to be comfortable there. The place was very clean, the people were very nice, and they looked like they were being kept busy. "

"I toured Masonicare At Ashlar Village. I think they had some of the nicest rooms that I've seen. It was a clean facility. The people were very pleasant. The food was good. They offered a lot of activities. The staff members were very accommodating and attentive. I felt it was a quality facility."

"Day break at Waterbury is a wonderful place with a remarkable and caring staff, loads of fun activities, and day tripsI highly reccomend this place for the best care ever for seniors"

"I been wanting to leave this place for a long time but realistically I I can't do it all on my own right now.If I could take Maggie and Allison with me I would do it .They both are Ambassadors here at Abbott. These girls work hard and they do alot for everybody. Allison always makes sure my hair is straight. Maggie got my computer working twice already. My aide Arlene be hooking me up too. I LOVE the girls here They are all hard works .Deep inside I still want to go but leave my Ambassadors and my CNAs .I'm going to just chill cause they got me and I'm good here."

"We chose Mulberry Gardens of Southington for dad because it was very affordable and they had a nice staff there. It was just really nice and comfortable. They made you feel at home. They're very attentive to the residents, which I like. They have bingo, they toss the ball, they take them out for walks, and they do a lot of arts and crafts where they've done pictures and stuff like that. He's got a nice studio apartment. They have a gym and a salon, so I don't even have to take him anywhere, which is nice. I could just call them and ask them for a haircut and they'll do it."

"My impression of The Bristal Assisted Living at East Northport during our tour was great. It was over the top, it was nice. It was like a hotel, I passed by the dining room and it had linen tablecloths, they had waiters and waitresses, and they were setting up the tables. All the residents were given things like beer or wine, and they showed them the menu, and the menu had a rack of lamb, baked salmon, or barbecued ribs. They had three entrees to choose from and homemade tiramisu for dessert. It was almost very resort-like and it was expensive too, but it was very nice if you had the money to stay there. The staff who gave us the tour was great. He sat us down and we had a little brochure all set for us, he answered all of our questions and asked my mom if my dad was a veteran so she could get veteran benefits, and things like that. He went above and beyond giving us information and helping us."

"The Strong House is an excellent adult daycare center. The staff is warm and caring and professional. The Strong House offers a variety of daily activities to accommodate the various needs of the patients. I highly recommend this facility. One of my clients is early-onset Alzheimer's and she thoroughly enjoys the two days she spends at the Strong House. "

"I can't say enough to praise Day Haven. The staff is warm, friendly and made my mom feel right at home from the moment she walked in. I really didn't want to place my mom in a facility so finding this place was a god send because there was no way I could take care of her by myself even though i'm retired. She has dementia and requires constant attention. She goes to this program 5 days a week and when she comes home i can tell she has had a good day. She is more alert then I've seen her in a long time. They offer breakfast, lunch and snack. They do art projects, children come in and do inter-generational programs which my mom loves since she was a teacher. The woman who runs the activities does fabulous discussion groups which are relevant to what my mom is going through. It's truly a special place. -Dorothy"

"My father was at an assisted living facility, but we kept him going at the day program of the Alzheimer’s Resource Center because it was much higher quality. When they did have an apartment open, we moved him from next door to there. Everyday they have two forms of exercise options: either like a zumba or taichi or yoga. They try to incorporate different types so it’s just not the same physical activity each day; they do one in the morning and one in the afternoon. They have art classes, do day trips at least once a week to either local farms, museums, or concerts; they do a lot of quality out programs. They do a lot of music programs. They have an in-house music therapist, and they have a travelling music therapist that even in the evening might go. There are only thirteen apartments, so they encourage everyone to go; they call it their "family time." They have a pianist play in that room and do the sing-alongs. They also have skilled nursing so if someone progresses they don’t need to actually to look for a separate facility which is a nice plus. Another interesting thing is that the assisted living is self pay, but the skilled nursing can be self pay or accept state funding, so even if somebody runs out of their fund, they could still stay there without having to go to a different facility. It also has several different types of support groups that are open to both the community and to people in the community who are not in their programs. I really like this place; I think they're the best one in our area. "
