"Brookdale South Windsor was nice. We liked it. It's really nice inside. However, the rooms were a little smaller than the place we chose. Everyone was very friendly when we were there. The building seemed so much bigger from the inside."

"I spoke with Charles at Brookdale West Hartford. He did an excellent job. He showed me the facilities and the amenities. He went through all the activities with me. He showed me a small and a large studio room, and both were very nice. The dining area was immaculate. Everything was laid out very nicely. They had a very detailed menu for the residents, so that was all very, very well done. There was plenty of parking. They had a visitor parking place, which is where I parked. No issue. The staff was very helpful. He answered all our questions and was very patient with us. I was very happy with the visit. The place was very well maintained. Everything was clean and very organized."

"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."

"I toured four facilities, and Cedarbrook at Ware had the nicest rooms and the best food. There is a buoyant attitude among the staffers and guests."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We have chosen Ruth's House for my mom, and she will move in. I loved this facility. I found them to be friendly, and I thought the food was good. The facility was clean. I just loved that they had a ton of activities. There was also a lot included with the cost. They will give her showers, and they're going to give her her pills. It's a beautiful and friendly place. I have tried their food and it was very good. They had a theater room, a library with a little bird that sits on its cage, and the common areas were beautiful. They would take them out to lunch, and they had lots of entertainment. The staff is all friendly and really helpful. My mother started choking at lunch and everybody rushed over to help her. Even the housekeepers we met were nice. All the residents that we met during lunch were very happy, and everybody that I know who has his mom or a relative there has been very happy."

"Our father was at East Village for several years around 2010 and really enjoyed the community and the wonderful staff. Five years ago, we moved our mother to East Village and more than 50% of the staff was still there! What a great testimony to the community that this is a well run business that values their employees and the staff is happy. As a result, they are very caring and compassionate to the residents and it really feels like a family. We are most grateful to have such excellent care for our mother. She is on the memory care side now and doing very well. She is 97"

"My mom has moved into Heritage Woods. The staff is knowledgeable and caring. From the executive director to the nursing staff to the aides, they have all helped my mom and made her feel welcome there. They showed her around, and they've helped her get involved in activities. It has been a good experience so far. It's very nice, it's very clean and it has an open design. They have a wraparound front porch that's screened in with furniture out there. No one is using it this time of year, but it's there. They have a beautiful seating area out front where the lobby is with a working fireplace, and they have a library right there so you can sit and read books. They have an exercise room and exercise classes. They have large windows in all of the rooms so that they let a lot of light in. Maintenance and cleanliness are very good. There are all kinds of different activities for them to choose from. They keep their mind and their body busy."

"The walkthrough at Mason Wright was very pleasant. The place was very inviting. It didn't feel like assisted living honestly. It just felt like very homey for them. When you first enter, there's a living room sort of where you wait. There's a fireplace. They took us into a room to kind of evaluate my mom. It was like a very casual setting. They sat us down and they assessed my mom there. And then they just gave us a tour of the place. And that was it. The staff was very professional, very pleasant, very knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions. Their approach was very nice. They had a space for them. My mom had dementia. So they had a unit for dementia there. And they had what they call a sensory room. When she was feeling agitated, she would go there. She was accepted into assisted living, so we thought that was very nice. The rooms were nice. The setup was good."
