Assisted Living Communities in Wilton, CT

"It was kind of set off in the country, but it was still in Stamford. They had sitting areas that were amongst the trees and there were lawns. I had always driven by it because it's only a mile from my house, but it's set back. It's kind of like you're living in the country. The staff was good. Unfortunately, I only saw three of them, plus I went on a Saturday. I guess Saturdays are kind of slow there. If I had the choice, I would have gone with Sunrise because it seems at least in the summertime, you could get out and get the sun on your face or walk around. The rooms were nice. The great thing about it was there was a thermostat in each room. You could adjust either the heat or the air-conditioning to suit your own room as opposed to just having the whole floor heated to one temperature. That would be pretty neat. For someone cold all the time, you can have it up to 75. If they like air-conditioning, they could have it set at 68. You had your own bath, and they had kitchenettes there. They had a studio, a one-bedroom, and a two-bedroom. You had plenty of closet space. You got free cable TV in your room. All you have to do is get the converter. It was very well appointed. Originally, I was supposed to be there before lunch, but with the COVID restrictions, they revised my visit to 1:00, so lunch was all done by then. The dining area was clean. There are plenty of tables for people to sit down. They had a library, a sitting room for TV, an area to play games, and another place that had couches where residents could have people come to visit them and instead of being squeezed into your room, you could sit down and have a conversation. They had a backyard that was all fenced in and it had trees and stuff. It wasn't like you were limited. For people that had houses, that would be a place to stay because you got that living in a house feel. The facility looked pretty good to me. I went there in the winter, so there were no leaves on the ground or anything. Everything was pretty clean. They had a nice parking lot when you pulled in. It looked pretty nice. If they would have offered the Medicaid rooms once you're done spending your life savings, that would have been a place to go."

"We cannot think of a more special and welcoming community for our beloved father than the Atria in Darien. It looks and feels like a luxury hotel but even more impressive than the look and feel is the wonderful, caring staff. They treat the residents with kindness, genuine affection and respect. Many staff members have been there for a number of years which demonstrates that it’s clearly a wonderful place to work, let alone to live! Not a day goes by without a phone call from dad saying what a good choice we made in the Atria Darien and that he couldn’t be more comfortable than he is there! This sense of peace and belonging he has makes the entire family so happy. We would be so concerned if he felt differently. he enjoys it so much that he barely wants to elsewhere! We really can’t say enough great things about the Atria in Darien. We believe believe that your loved one has a chance to live there, you should seize the opportunity!"

"My father is currently at Sturges Ridge of Fairfield. They have very friendly staff, wonderful activities, and a very caring environment. They also have a wonderful movie theater, trips to the beach, live music, happy hour, social gatherings, and a very nice dining room with really good food. I ate two meals there while we were looking, and it was a very good food. They have lovely grounds. It actually butts up against a high school football field, so they can see the kids playing on the football field. It's a very nice facility. Everybody's been very friendly and helpful."

"I visited Benchmark Senior Living at Ridgefield Crossings. The tour was very good and very informative. The staff took me on a tour of the dining room and the common areas. I was also able to see a couple of the model rooms, and that was very helpful. The dining area was very nice, and the facility was very clean. Everybody was extremely friendly and helpful."

"I love that the Sunrise of Fairfield is a social community, which is the biggest thing for Mom, and she's got 24/7 care. I have zero complaints and the staff has been great. Mom also loves the food. They have a hair salon and they do their nails. It's a great location."

"Brighton Gardens of Stamford was older than the first place we went to, but it looked aesthetically appealing. The staff was very friendly, the facilities were smaller, but they seemed pretty good. They had lots of activities, there were stuff going on when I was there. The rooms were nice enough, they weren't high-end, and it's like a 3-star hotel. It was a nice community, they had a pet dog that roamed around, and it was a very open, nurturing community."

"My mom has moved into Atria Stamford. They have been exceptional. Her transition to Atria was fantastic. They made sure that she had friends and people to eat with. The staff is very friendly and very supportive. She's very happy there. They go above and beyond, way above and beyond. The inside is beautiful. It's very well-maintained and very clean. My mom is a big opera buff, and they have a lot of scheduled lectures during the week and performances (not opera, but like piano recitals). She has been to opera lectures, and she goes to the movies there. She takes advantage of a lot of the programs they offer during the day, including some of the exercise programs. I think the food is only so-so (according to her). What I really want to point out what makes Atria exceptional is the staff. The director is there every day, he knows the people that live there. He knows the residents. For example, when my mother ended up staying at my house for dinner, they didn't know she was going to be at my house for dinner. Because I'm her contact, they called inquiring if I knew where she was and if she was OK. Everything they promised us, they've done, which I've been so impressed with. Rob and Wayne have been exceptional staff members. They just went so above and beyond with my mom and with my family."

"Spring Meadows by Monarch was very clean and very nice. The people were very friendly, helpful, and gave a lot of information. They had a lot of cool things that they were doing with the residents. They had nice grounds that they could walk around, a courtyard, some gardens that they could work in, a gym, and trips to the market."

"Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull was very nice. The rooms were very nice. The grounds were nice. They had activities, and they had plenty of outdoor seating. The staff was very nice, and we talked to some of the residents there. The apartment had a full bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a big bathroom. It was very spacious. I would live there. I, my husband, and my son each had one cookie, and they were good. They have exercise classes and movies. It was nice and clean."

"Maplewood at Danbury is a very nice, really clean, and new place. "

"It is close to my home, and they would take my mother. It’s lovely, everybody is nice, and they took her with the Foley catheter. The facility is very clean. "

"This facility is warm and inviting as soon as you enter. The staff are compassionate and wonderful people. They are a special group of people that work here. Highly recommend Maplewood at Stony Hill."

"We visited to find dedicated personable caregivers and a beautiful home. It was a pleasure to meet everyone and see the thoughtful features that made this home perfect for caring for loved ones from a memory care perspective. I would highly recommend this home. "

"I love it here, I love living here. Breakfast is amazing. I won't be here for over 8 years if this was not a great place We have the best maintenance guys I will give them 5 starts. Staffing are great "
