Assisted Living Communities in Middletown, CT

"I visited Avery Heights. I looked into a one-bedroom apartment, which was about 600 square feet. This is an older facility, so the arrangement of the rooms is kind of unique. There are about 113 units there. They had a movie theater, a cafe, and full-service salons. The areas that I saw were lovely. The programming seemed to be good. The people who were there for me were a little bit older and maybe not in line with what I would be doing. Other than that, I don't have any negatives on it at all. It's all one building, but there are hallways, so your independent living is in one area, your assisted living is in another area, and memory care is in another. You don't need to go outside to go to any of those. I was able to review a month's schedule of activities and their food, and what I saw was very interesting and looked fine. When you walk into this facility, it's just absolutely beautiful. It's like going into a museum as opposed to a modern facility. It has beautiful architecture."

"I toured Addison Place at Glastonbury. They were kind and professional. They made you feel welcome. Debbie was very nice in explaining different options of what we would have for the style of living. They had patients in their 70s, which is what I needed because some places have a much older clientele, and I was trying to stick with something more age-appropriate. They answered questions. They've worked with me through this and trying to make this happen. They gave me a blueberry loaf to bring home, which was good. The building was nice and clean."

"Large bright apartments with lots of sunlight. Easy access to shopping and I-84. The staff are very friendly and seem to be happy there. I see a lot of faces that were here when I visited a friend a before COVID and that is a good sign. I've been looking locally for my parents and this seems to be a great fit!"

"Brookdale Gables Farmington is an independent living facility. The pricing was very reasonable. Everybody was engaging. There were a lot of activities going on. The meals looked very good. I did not attend any programs, but the programming looked fine. I was looking for a one-bedroom, one-bath. I don't recall anything negative at all about it. The staff was very accommodating. I had a complete tour of the facility. They showed me the rooms, went to where we would be eating our meals, and where some of the activities were going on. I saw a full month's schedule of activities and saw several menus. I was very pleased. Marie did the tour, and she did a great job. I saw the area where they do the crafts and the outdoor areas. The guest dining area was lovely. They had rooms where they had other activities, a library, and a store that was run by the people there, and it was lovely. The staff was very friendly."

"I visited Brookdale West Hartford and looked at their memory care unit for my mother. As a visitor, I liked everything about it. It's very nice, and the layout is very good. I like the way they laid out the floors. I think the food is very good, too. The people are very nice and very attentive. It's a very nice and very warm place. It's also a very clean facility."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Hoffman SummerWood Community was a very nice community. It's a Jewish community pretty much. It was very friendly and I met the rabbi there. My friend is a pretty devout Catholic, and I thought this might not be the best place for her. I didn't see a lot of Christian things going on. It's not all Jewish, obviously, but it was a different environment than the other places that I saw. It's a very warm community and a very pleasant environment. They have book clubs, chess clubs, and writing clubs. They'd go on field trips to the shopping centers and whatnot."

"Robyn was the person who led the tour at Atria Larson Place, and she was phenomenal. She made you feel like a family. The property itself was lovely, decorated very nicely, and very up-to-date. The residents seemed very friendly. People would say hello. We were taken on a tour of their small cafe, dining area, and the activities room. There was a concert going on when we were there, and the apartment seemed lovely. Then we met with Greg, the business person, and went over the details. He was also very nice and willing to work with you. It was overall a very positive experience, and my aunt's looking forward to moving there. We had no complaints about anything. It was just lovely. We looked at a studio at first, and it was adequate. It wasn't large, but it had a little bit of separation from the living area. It was a nice set up for being a studio, but we preferred the one bedroom, which wasn't more money at that point, and it seemed to be a bit larger than one of the other places we looked at. Their dining area was also lovely. There were tablecloths on it. It wasn't mealtime, so there was no one in there, but it was set up very nice, kind of like a fine restaurant."

"My father moved into The Residence at South Windsor Farms. Our overall experience with it is very positive. I like that they know all the residents and that they make sure that they're getting the care that they need. The room is bright and up to date. He enjoys their food. They have all kinds of activities to choose from, like exercise, crafts, and games. The staff members are very friendly, and the residents seem happy and well cared for."

"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."

"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."
