Assisted Living Communities in Hartford,

"Brookdale South Windsor was nice. We liked it. It's really nice inside. However, the rooms were a little smaller than the place we chose. Everyone was very friendly when we were there. The building seemed so much bigger from the inside."

"My father will be moving into The Village at Buckland Court. Everyone's been really friendly. They make my dad very welcome there. It's very spacious inside. We liked how there was a lot of little gathering spots in the building. Everyone's very welcoming. My dad's very comfortable."

"River Ridge at Avon was very nice. They took us through everything. They took us to all the rooms. They showed us what goes on from day to day. It was a very good experience. The building was nice. The rooms were clean. It was top-notch. The amenities they offered were good. There were computers. The people I met were very professional and very good."

"I highly recommend All American Assisted Living at Enfield. My aunt is currently staying in their assisted living facility for respite care. It's very clean and all the people who work there are very friendly and accommodating. I like how they have nurses there, and a doctor comes in, I think, once a week. The food is really good, and they have a nice way of doing meals. You sit at your table, your menu is in front of you with your name on it, and you get to pick what you want, and they bring it to you. My aunt's also eating, which is great because she lost a lot of weight, and is forgetting to eat, so I like it. I've also eaten there a few times. One day, I was there for lunch, and it was a chicken pot pie. The biscuit was on top, so you didn't have to cut through a crust, and it was very easy to eat. I sat with two women who were in their 80s and 90s, and they were able to just use their fork and not have to worry about a knife. The food was fresh and healthy, and really good. There was steamed fresh broccoli for the vegetable, and then for dessert, it was ice cream. It's very welcoming, and just a really good place to stay that is above average. The staff members are right there checking on people, so I have been able to sleep well since my aunt has been in. Anytime you ask them a question and need anything, they're right there and they take care of it for you with a smile. When we needed something, we went and told the desk, and they got the maintenance man to go in and take care of it. I don't really think they have enough activities, though. I had gone to another facility that had all kinds of really good stuff. I noticed that people are creating their own entertainment. Like, there's a group of people that go watch a movie in a certain location, or they make their own group to play cards together. I don't think there are enough activity instructors or directors, so to speak. I also think it's a little overpriced."

"Colebrook Village at Hebron was very nice. We had lunch there, which was just soup and a sandwich. The people were very friendly and very nice. There were many people who were using such devices, so that turned me off a little bit. But the facility was lovely, and the accommodations were lovely. The other thing I like about Colebrook is that they have a lot of people there that I know. So I wouldn't be going into a place without knowing anyone. So that was a plus. It was friendly and very accessible. There are some walking trails, and it is very near to my primary doctor, CVS, and a supermarket, and that's a plus. The person who works there brought me meals from Colebrook, and the food is very, very good."

"I toured Commonwealth Senior Living at Haddam. It was a very good tour. They had a couple of units available, and they showed them all to us. They would have worked out because they offered more services. It was a very pretty location. The facilities were very nice. We saw people doing all different kinds of things, and the staff was very pleasant. Everybody we spoke to was very nice and accommodating. And the cook came out to meet us and asked if we had questions. It was very nice. The apartments were very nice. They were one-bedroom units with bigger kitchen areas and full-sized appliances. I liked the rooms a little better. They were a little more spacious than the other place, although they were both in very nice condition. They had just painted and put new carpets in, and so everything looked very nice."

"Old Glory Days was wonderful. It was beautiful. It was very clean. I liked it because it was open. I didn't like it because there were a lot of stairs. They were very expensive, too. The staff was very down-to-earth and neat. It's a converted old house. I wouldn't recommend it unless you lived in town, and if you had a lot of money and you were by yourself. I don't think it was good for a couple. It was very well put together. It was nicely painted inside."

"My mother is a 90 year old resident at the Retreat. I can't say enough about what a wonderful warm and caring place this is. The staff are very attentive and the residents are all so friendly and warm. This is my mother's third assisted living due to relocation. She has dementia issues and has felt isolated at the other facilities but not here. The rooms are lovely and she loves the food. The nursing staff are always available. Thank God we found The Retreat!!!"

"I went to AVIVA West Hartford. It's more open and airy. It looks like an old castle that was retired and turned into a senior living place. It's on a hill, and the surroundings were nice. The indoors were good too. The staff did pretty well. She took me to all the floors and explained everything to me. They showed me the dining area. It looks clean and inviting. I saw on the brochure that they have beauty salons for females and barbershops for males. They have recreation and exercise areas. They showed me where they do arts and crafts and stuff like that."

"I visited The McAuley independent living. They have a Life Care plan. It's an older facility, but their apartments are a great size and have lots of good storage space. They had a lot of good programming. St. Joseph College comes in and does some stuff. I didn't get to eat a meal there, but I did get a chance to look at the facilities and what they serve, and also the activity schedule, which was very good. They do outings in the community. The one thing that was negative for me there was that they do not do three meals a day. They do a continental breakfast, and then you have a choice of either lunch or supper. If you're on the first floor, you get a patio."
