What to Consider About Assisted Living in Newington

Newington's population was 30,500 at the last census, and a fifth of the town's residents are aged 65 or older. It is a suburb of Hartford with two assisted living facilities in the town and a further 38 in nearby communities to cater to its large senior population.

Assisted living services agencies (ALSAs) in Connecticut provide nursing services and assistance to people who live in managed residential communities. They are licensed by the Department of Public Health Facilities Licensing and Investigations Section.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Newington

  • The Hartford area, including Newington, is home to world-class medical facilities, including The Hospital of Central Connecticut, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Seniors in Newington can take advantage of Hartford's thriving arts and culture scene. Some assisted living facilities may organize group trips to see the art at The Gallery at Constitution Plaza or to see a performance by the Connecticut Ballet.
  • Seniors in Newington have a number of transport options. The town of Newington has a Dial-a-Ride service that provides curb-to-curb transport to seniors. The Greater Hartford Transit District also offers an ADA Paratransit service to parts of Newington. In addition, CT Transit provides a fixed-route service through Newington and seniors travel at half fare at any time of day.
  • Hartford, including Newington, is ranked 20 out of 227 metropolitan areas for ozone pollution and the county had 24 high ozone days in the last State of the Air report. However, particle pollution is relatively low, and the American Lung Association gives Hartford County an A grade in that pollution category.
  • The cost of living in Newington is almost 14 percent higher than the U.S. average. Costs of groceries, transportation and health care are all high compared to the national average but are close to the Connecticut averages.
  • Newington winters are cold and snowy, with average January lows of 18 degrees and around 36 inches of snow each year. The town only has 190 days of sun each year, compared to the national average of 205, which may not be ideal seniors who enjoy lots of sunshine.
