Assisted Living Communities in Rocky Hill, CT

"The rooms at Brookdale West Hartford were lovely. The one that I looked at has been newly painted and newly carpeted. The cabinets in the little kitchenette were in good condition, but could still be updated. It's a small kitchenette with nice countertops, so it's adequate and I liked that. The bathroom was nicely set up, too. The only thing was they did not have a lot of closet space/storage space."

"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."

"The tour was very well done. The person who gave us the tour was the assistant to the director, and he was very good, very personable, very friendly, and answered all of our questions. We saw their dining room, and he explained all of the meals. It's a very lively place and very energetic. You could feel the energy when you walked in, and it had a good vibe to it. The people seemed very friendly. We saw a lot of people. It was in between meals, but there were people in the halls, a lot of people around, much more so than I saw at other places. The activities were on full display. We didn't eat there, but it seemed like everybody liked the food. The rooms were very clean and set up very well. We mainly looked at studios. If you had to go from independent living to assisted living, they were structured in such a way that you did not have to leave your apartment. Their assistance came to you, which is kind of unusual for facilities that have multilevel care. Everything comes to you, and you don't have to leave where you are."

"I visited The Village at Kensington Place. They were excellent. It was a little bit older than the other facility I visited, but still very nice, very comforting and warm. It seemed very home-like. I was very impressed with the staff as well. They had a nice entryway that had some landscaping, but I didn't get to go to any kind of common area or courtyard. There was ample parking, and it was easy to get to. I didn't get to see the actual room, only a blueprint floor plan."

"My aunt is currently staying at Emeritus at South Windsor. There were two factors why we chose this facility. One was cost and second was proximity to my house. The price was also in a reasonable range and something that she would be able to afford for a number of years. The staff seemed to be very caring and attentive. The services are good. She gets three meals a day and there are a number of activities that are scheduled. She has assistance with personal grooming and they have a beauty salon on site as well as some physical therapy. It's a relatively modest-size room, but it meets all of her needs. It’s nice and bright. "

"My mom was a resident for 4 years at River Ridge. The facility is beautiful and the staff are caring, compassionate, professional and fun loving people! My mom loved being a resident and made some close friends while there. My brother and I couldn't have asked for a better place for our mom to spend her final years of life. River Ridge definitely provides quality life options for seniors! "

"I did a tour of Colebrook Village at Hebron. It's in the running, but I'm still waiting. We have to see what my father's needs are going to be, and I'm working with the VA to see if they can come through with some assistance. The tour was very positive, the manager was wonderful, the Marketing Manager. I toured one of the apartments, saw the library, and the dining facilities. I saw the courtyard where somebody planted tomatoes. Also walked past the hairdresser, recreation rooms, and physical exercise room. We worked with one person; she was great. She's marketing, so I would expect that person to be trying to sell you the place. The one apartment I saw looked nice, and the other things. They also had a movie theater."

"What I liked the most about Stonebrook Village at Windsor Locks was the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the environment. It appeared that they had a lot of activities, particularly for somebody with cognitive issues. I didn't find anything disagreeable about the place. It was very nice. I also liked the fact that they have 24-hour nursing care as well as their resident-to-care associate ratio. They were very empathetic, understanding, and kind. The memory care was a locked-down unit, so it's safe, but they had a courtyard where they could go out and get fresh air and plenty of room for walking."

"I went to tour here. The layout was very nice. It was very spacious and very clean. The rooms were very nice in size. The staff was average. They have the same amenities as the others. They have a hair salon, a movie room, a dining room, a private dining room, and a library."

"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."

"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."
