Assisted Living Communities in East Haven, CT

"Benchmark Senior Living at Hamden is a very lovely place. It meets all my needs, such as nursing care, transportation, and access to food. However, the question is finances and if it fits into my budget. I saw the one-bedroom. It was very nice and certainly suitable for someone who needs a one-bedroom. The staff member who gave the tour was lovely and very accommodating. The physical appearance was wonderful."

"I toured Charter Senior Living of Woodbridge. It was a good experience. However, at that time, they didn't have enough staff. They were in the process of redoing the whole place, so there were a few little glitches about the staff. The food was good though. The rooms were really nice and big. The upkeep of the place was OK."

"I toured Carriage Green at Milford. The tour was fine. I thought it was really excellent. They have everything you ever need. The staff showed me three different rooms. The two 1-bedrooms were perfect. I wasn't interested in the studios, but the other two rooms were very large. They were certainly enough for one person and lots of storage. It was an excellent place. We went into the dining room. She explained everything to me, which was very nice. I thought that you had to have meals at a certain time every day, but that was not the case. Their restaurant was open all day, and you can eat when you want to. She also showed me the game room, the TV room, the conference room, the ice cream parlor, and the library. The staff was very nice. Even the people living there were very nice. When we walked through, they were very friendly. It was my first visit to that type of facility, and I was very impressed with it. I just have a lot of considerations, and I'm really not quite ready yet."

"It was our good fortune to be able to have our mother move into Long Hill Home as her memory issues became too advanced for us to care for her safely in her home. A beautiful residence that looks and feels just like a single family home, but with attentive 24/7 care. Excellent meals, well appointed rooms. Everything designed to provide calm and professional care and a safe and welcoming environment. I can't say enough about the staff and care she received. She was happy and loved. We appreciated that we were always welcome there. If you are looking for a new residence for your loved one who is struggling with Alzheimer's or dementia, we can assure you that you won't find a more accommodating and quality option that this."

"I toured Spring Village at Stratford. The facility looks nice. The staff was very helpful. She explained everything clearly, so it was very good, and everything looked fine."

"Benchmark at Split Rock was very nice. The lady we talked to was excellent and very informative. We looked at both assisted living and memory care. Everything seemed good. They sent us home with some sandwiches, and they tasted fine."

"I toured HarborChase of Madison, and they were redoing it. The size of the room was OK. The facility was clean. The dining area looked small, and the staff was very pleasant."

"I looked at this facility for my 91yr. Old mom who has dementia. I feel it is a perfect solution for her . The staff were engaged and genuinely caring of the residents. It was a warm and cozy home without a hint of the institutionalized feel but at the same time I felt confident that the CNA ‘s were very capable. I would highly recommend visiting and considering this type of facility . "

"Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull had a good appearance. It's well-maintained. The apartment was a good size and well maintained, too. The staff was knowledgeable and very professional. The dining area was clean. They have the normal clubs and there's like a list of maybe 15 things on the board, so the activities seemed more than adequate."

"There are multiple levels of rooms to meet the needs of different residents. My dad has a one bedroom and it’s perfect for him The food is great, basically available all day (7a-7p) The staff and faculty are amazing, responsive and so caring."

"The Village at Kensington Place is big enough, but it's not humongous. The memory care unit has a fabulous setup. The rooms are clean. The food was great. I thought it was a really nice place. The people seemed very caring. The girl who was going to do the tour had something come up, and she asked if I would mind going with the head chef. The chef was wonderful. They sent me home with a fresh loaf of freshly baked cranberry bread and it was fabulous. They had an outdoor space in the back of the building. They have two other little areas where they can go outside."

"I love the Spring Meadows by Monarch. It was clean and bright. The decor was amazing. They had that soothing blue. And the residents that we passed by were really pleasant. They were all so very happy. The room itself was just amazing. It was a perfect fit for what I was looking for. The sales manager was extremely nice and very informative in terms of the community, especially the activities that are offered. It was nice. The receptionist was amazing, and the nurses that walked by were very well-mannered and very pleasant."

"Sunrise of Fairfield seemed new, fresh, and clean. The attendants were very pleasant. The staff member who toured me around was very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time discussing things and answering questions. Maybe they could have had a little more fitness equipment, because they didn't have a gym. But they had a bistro cafe and a theater room. The upkeep of the facility looked very good."

"As a Deacon at First Congregational Church Cromwell, I work with the activities director to provide an ecumenical service for residents. The staff has been wonderful in providing a clean, beautiful and peaceful setting for the service as well as publicizing the monthly service. We have been provided with internet access so that our service can utilize modern technology in servicing the residents. Residents seem pleased with the service and often talk positively about other activities and experiences that have ben made available to them."
