Assisted Living Communities in Fairfield, CT

"Maplewood at Strawberry Hill is a lovely facility and it is brand new. The design is much more conducive to seniors and I like the arrangement of their apartments. And of course, it's brand new so that definitely makes a big difference. The staff were very helpful although I didn't really interact with very many people. Some staff that walked by said hello. We have friends there and they said the food is very good. Their rooms, the windows are high enough that you can put furniture it. The walls also have windows so people can bring more of their furniture with them. And because it's new, you got new carpet, new bathroom and that makes a difference. "

"My mom moved to Sunrise of Wilton, and what I like best is that my mom is in the memory care unit. The residents were in the living room area, together and out of their rooms. They all seemed to be happy there. Although her room wasn't elegant, it was comfortable and provided the basics. The facility is very clean. The staff is friendly and seemed aware of my mother's needs. My mother was supposed to be getting up on her own into the wheelchair, so the aide was there to observe and make sure that my mother was able to do that on her own and was there in case she fell. She wheeled her, and she did not like having my mother walk. She was attentive to her."

"In looking for a home for my sister who needs memory care, my son and I interviewed eleven facilities in four states in the Northeast. We visited the six that seemed most promising. The first visit was to Spring Village in Stratford, and we walked away saying that they had set a very high bar for our other visits. The staff was so welcoming and clearly competent, kind, and informative. We had the sense that they loved their work and were very proud of the home. They were genuinely interested in hearing about my sister and talking about how they might personalize her care and treatment. They were also committed to helping us, the family members, through what was a difficult time for us all. We were most impressed with the facilities and the activities available in memory care. There are music therapy classes and art therapy classes, exercise classes -- in addition to lovely enclosed gardens and living room, TV room, and spacious hallways for walking. The rooms were sunny and open, very good size with spacious walk in closets. After visiting other homes, we both said that it was clear what decision we wanted to make. Spring Village was the one. My sister has lived there for two months now, and we have been most pleased with the personal, friendly, and warm relationships she is developing with the staff. The activities and resources available to her are varied and appealing. We feel like she has truly found a home, one in which we all enjoy visiting her."

"Carriage Green at Milford seemed like a very nice community, and I'm certainly impressed with it. The apartments were lovely. The one we saw had a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and a small kitchen area. It was clean, ready to be moved into, a good size, and had a lovely layout. Some of the community rooms looked a little tired. They were homey, nice, and clean but they look like they've been around a while. "

"I visited the assisted living facility of Benchmark at Split Rock in Shelton. The person who showed me around the place was wonderful and very nice. The room I saw, which was a single room deluxe, was very nice. It was a nice size and had an open concept. It also had two bathrooms, which is very nice. Their dining area is big, and everybody comes downstairs on the elevator to eat there. It was very nice and very clean. They have activities. They also have a courtyard and a place to walk. I don't care for their parking as they don't have much. The lady who took me around said that if I came back, they would see that I had my own space in front of the building because it's very hard to find a space there."

"So very glad to have found Just Like Home! The house is bright, clean and comfortable. My Mom feels very much at home. The staff is amazing; so caring and attentive. The residents enjoy all the musical guests and fitness trainers that come to the house. "

"We visited to find dedicated personable caregivers and a beautiful home. It was a pleasure to meet everyone and see the thoughtful features that made this home perfect for caring for loved ones from a memory care perspective. I would highly recommend this home. "

"very modernized, clean and beautiful. I am looking for my mother and i had the opportunity to look at this amazing facility. this community is at the top of my list. the staff was friendly and welcomed my mom and i. The interactions were pleasant and the residents seem to be enjoying themselves. this community is a community i would recommend for you loved one. "

"The rooms are very well designed with accessible bathrooms and kitchenettes. They are spacious and uplifting, and housekeeping does a fantastic job cleaning 2X a week. My mom was very resistant to senior living at first, but settled in so well in just a few weeks. They allowed her to do a “trial stay” for the first couple of months, which was unique. The staff are so supportive and friendly! She plays bridge, joins in different groups and socializes daily with the residents. She has made so many great new friends at age 103!"

"Everyone is very kind. They know your name and what you need to help you out. The room is great. The interactions and activities are too. The meals are very good. "

"Rooms are very nice. There were many activities my mother participated in. She especially loved the outdoor garden area within the building, even in the colder months. The real reason this is a special place are the people who work there. All are very caring and patient and always eager to help. "

"I found Maplewood to be a safe and secure environment for my Mom. Being a 90+ healthy senior, she did not need a nursing home. Our needs were met along the way. Socialization, good food, lovely and secure. Covid became difficult for everyone. They did the best they could to keep residents safe. Kudos!"

"My mom is at Maplewood in Danbury, and the facility is beautiful. The activities are packed for all different levels. The food is amazing, and the people are really caring. I picked it because they have very high ratio of staff to residents. I didn't want my mom to be overwhelmed in a new place she can't navigate, and it has worked out perfectly. Because of the small size, they get a lot of individual attention. They get to know the other residents and the staff and vice versa rather quickly. It has memory care, and they have different levels like a continuing care community. If my mom's Dementia progresses even to full Alzheimer's, the place runs the complete gamut so she doesn't have to be moved. "

"It is a very modern and up-to-date facility. The price is reasonable. The staff is very good and nice. They really care about their residents. My uncle is there now and he has a lot of ailments and they are a very good help to him. I really will recommend them to others. "
