Assisted Living Communities in Fairfield, CT

"I saw a friend from church at Maplewood at Strawberry Hill and he liked the food there (he was a guy who liked to eat). It was a very nice place. The environment was very beautifully appointed with all the colors and large windows. My friend's apartment was very small. It was a studio size. He said he didn't need to have more than one room because he'd just go in there to sleep. He had a chair in the room, but it was very tight. He had a twin bed. The bathroom was built to accommodate people who had problems walking or standing in the shower. It was kept clean. It was a very wonderful environment. I didn't interact with the staff, but my friend said he liked them. They have a big room where everybody watches television with all the wheelchairs, and people are sitting around. The TV was huge. There was no other activity."

"I had an in-person tour of Sunrise of Wilton. The facility was clean. The organization was manageable. The atmosphere is wonderful. The rooms were relatively good. They were huge, but a livable space for seniors to move around and feel comfortable in their setting. The staff was very compassionate, caring, loving, and communicable. They have a lot of activities, like making sure that the seniors walk around. They had games and people coming in."

"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."

"Over two years have gone by since I first reviewed the Greens, and I can still say without hesitation that my sisters and I remain thrilled and relieved by the care that our parents are receiving at the Greens. Our parents require more attention and assistance now than when they moved to the Greens over 3 years ago, and the staff at the Greens continues to provide that care in a very compassionate and kind manner. The nursing director is probably the greatest asset and resource at the Greens. Our family is completely confident and reassured by her commitment and caring for the residents. There are many other noteworthy personnel, from the aides to the recreation, transportation, and dining room staff. The bottom line is that residents are treated like family, and our family is so grateful to have discovered the Greens at Cannondale."

"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."

"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."

"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 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 . "

"We had a good experience with Meadow Ridge. There are people who are very active there and they have programs. We visited twice and we had some of their food, but it was not a sit down, so it's difficult to really say. It was quite expensive."

"My father has been a resident at Maplewood of Darien for 5 months. We have been very pleased with his care. His room, which is a studio, is very generously sized , the handicapped bathroom is large and the kitchenette is perfect for him. The staff is very attentive. When I am there even for the shortest visit, invariably a staff member will knock on his door to check on him. They have a broad range of activities. My father's favorites involve the outings such as scenic drives, concerts, plays and luncheons. He enjoys having lunch with a good friend he has made at the facility. Maplewood also allows me to coordinate his care with the V.A. where he receives his medications. The managing and administrative staff is very responsive and are always working to develop programs that the residents enjoy. I would highly recommend this facility."

"Atria Darien truly deserves the highest praise. From our first visit, we were impressed by the professionalism, warmth, and accessibility of the staff, and we immediately knew this was the right place for our mother. Every question, from the moving-in process to daily details, was answered promptly and with care. The staff consistently goes above and beyond their job responsibilities, and their longevity speaks to the wonderful culture at Atria. The community is welcoming and vibrant, offering a wide variety of activities and special events for residents and families. Most importantly, we have peace of mind knowing our mother is safe, well cared for, and surrounded by a community that feels like family."

"I tried to keep my husband Rich home for as long as possible. He was a 72 year old when things started getting very hard to manage. Finding Maplewood at Orange has given Rich a new lease on life. He is thriving there. Everyone from the top down has given Rich their all. It is very easy to get in touch with management and they get back to you immediately. The community is extremely clean. The food is delicious. The numerous activities are geared towards all interests. The grounds are beautiful. When my daughters, grand daughter, and grand dog and I visit we all feel we are part of the family. Everyone who works there knows our names and is so welcoming and inviting. I am so thankful for Maplewood at Orange."

"I went to Benchmark Senior Living at Ridgefield Crossings. It was very nice walking in. You felt like you were home in a regular setting. It was very nice, and it was comforting going in there. The apartment was very spacious. When we peeked in someone's room, they made it look like their own house. It was very nice and very pleasing. The staff was wonderful. She was great. She took her time and talked about everything. She brought us around to the assisted living. Then we stopped by shortly into the memory care. They had a little choir thing going on and somebody was playing in a room. It was nice to see the whole facility at that point. The dining area was beautiful, and it was nice. The layout was great, and it definitely was very clean. She showed us a room where they had the activities and what they're doing. They had a lot of crafts going on. They had a chorus where you could join in, which was going on at the time. It was nice to see. There were a lot of people there."
