Assisted Living Communities in New Haven, CT

"It was a very bright, nice, and friendly community. The rooms were smaller than I anticipated, but they were comfortable looking. We saw a room with a pool table, the kitchen, the dining area, the exercise section, and the game room. The person that gave us a tour had only been there a month though. She wasn't too aware of some of the questions we asked."

"I was happy with The Village at Mariner's Point. It was very pleasant, professional, and clean. The director came right out and took me on a tour. I saw the whole facility. I was able to ask a lot of questions, and I didn't feel rushed. It was very nice. I saw the memory care unit for my dad, and then she showed me all the assisted living and the independent living areas. The rooms were really nice because they had like a kitchenette kind of area. They had a balcony that you could put a couple of chairs out on, so I like that. There were a lot of activities, oh my goodness! Just a lot! They have really nice vans to take them places. They had different places to eat. I saw the menus. It was really nice. They had an outdoor garden area to sit and go around, and it's near the water. It's really nice. I also met the gentleman in charge of the memory care unit. They were really helpful and knowledgeable. Another thing is that they followed up with me. The place was very clean. It was not too quiet, but not noisy. The people living there looked happy and pleasant. It was very clean and bright, and there were a lot of windows."

"The name of the establishment says it all. Just Like Home! I am so happy with the wonderful staff the accommodations for my mother.The ratio of residents to aids is small and you get to know all the residents and their family members . I feel that the staff that takes care of the residents do a wonderful job. My loved one is well taken care of and is not just a number. The Atmosphere inside and outside the home is peaceful and they bring in entertainment and music to stimulate the residents. I Love that I can have a few laughs with everyone and enjoy their company.It is so nice that you really feel part of this great organization. I know how hard it was to take care of my mom , and I feel so blessed that my concerns for my Mom have been addressed and they are willing and open to discuss your needs. I originally had my loved one in a much larger Memory care facility and I am so Grateful that this wonderful facility exists. Also the food is healthy and delicious and my mothers hygiene has never been better. I know how hard everyone works to make this a Loving and Caring home . Absolutely Amazing. What a beautiful gift for your Loved one. I am able to visit and see the Joy my mom expresses with Gods Angels that watch out for all the residents and each other! Anyhow see for yourself! You won’t be disappointed “"

"I thought Carriage Green at Milford presented very beautifully when I drove up, and the inside is beautiful. It's just very much larger than the other two places that I looked at. That would be my only concern -- how big it was. It was probably three or four times the size of the other places. They had a library, a fitness room, and an ice-cream parlor, which was cute. They had offices for physical therapy. The person who took me on the tour did a wonderful job. The dining area was lovely and very nice, but I didn't try any of the food. I saw a list of all the activities."

"Spring Village at Stratford was a pretty nice and a well-maintained community. It's multiple floors and a little bit bigger, but it's good. The staff was very professional and good too. It's close to the Merritt Parkway in Stratford, so it's convenient to the highway. The rooms looked nice, but the only complaint I had was they were shared rooms. There's only one bathroom for two residents, and most of the shared rooms don't have bedroom doors for each resident, so there's less privacy in there."

"I saw Dogwood Home featured on Channel 12 News and I was very intrigued. Never had I heard of this concept, an actual home for seniors who have memory loss. When you arrive at the home, you pull up to a house in a lovely neighborhood, and that was our first impression of it feeling like a home. Once inside, the home was meticulously detailed for seniors; wide hallways, special sinks, showers that you walk into. My dad really loved the bedrooms with private bathrooms, and the idea of someone cooking and cleaning for him! I loved the way the caregivers were so warm, loving, kind, and the way they looked after the residents there. Very warm and inviting."

"Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull seemed a little bit older. The hallways were a little bit narrower than the other facilities we had visited. The rooms were very nice. The programs they had were very good. The facility has woods surrounding it so there was less sunlight. It did not feel as open and bright as the other facilities we had been to. "

"Spring Meadows Trumbull was lovely, clean, and very nice. The staff was knowledgeable. I was there on a Saturday, but they had the activities posted on their board like arts and crafts, lectures, and people coming in."

"Everyone at the facility has been welcoming and very helpful. Staff goes out of their way to make the residents comfortable. Very supportive environment."

"I went to Maplewood at Southport. I think that was the most beautiful facility that I went to, it's the most modern, a lot of the activities they had been up to date like they provide them, Alexa, for all the different people in the community. They had virtual travel with VR technology. It had a nice courtyard area, and all the rooms were very nice also. The staff was great, and they gave me something to take to go."

"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."

"Maplewood is off the road so you're surrounded by woods even though they're building a whole over-55 development next to it. It's still separated and they have a beautiful courtyard and a nice deck. It's very nice, very clean, great staff, really nice rooms, very good food. The chefs that they have do a great job. It's in a beautiful area, nice, private and quiet. I've looked at a lot of them and this was, by far, the nicest, cleanest, most modern. They redid the painting, carpets and furniture three years ago. In the Alzheimer's part, everything is locked, coded or with keys. It also has an outside courtyard that is surrounded by their living area so it's very secure. They have crosswords, bingo, they have people come in playing music. They have family barbeque picnics. They do different activities down in the Alzheimer's where I'm staying with my mother. Upstairs they have other things going on but they have nice activities. They keep them busy. "

"Maplewood at Stony Hill is a state of the art facility strictly for dementia patients only. It had farm-to-table and had a chef who cooked right in front of them. It goes to end of life unless you need skilled nursing care like an IV tube or feeding tube, but if my mother is in a wheelchair and a diaper needs a hoist, they can do that, and that was important to me that I didn’t need to move my parents to a nursing home. It's brand new, and they do cocktail time, live Skype on big TV for the dementia patients, and all sorts of phenomenal dementia care things. They start at about $6800 for one person, which is their flat rate. "
