The Best Senior Living Communities in Branford, CT

"I tried to keep my husband Rich home for as long as possible. He was a 72 year old when things started getting very hard to manage. Finding Maplewood at Orange has given Rich a new lease on life. He is thriving there. Everyone from the top down has given Rich their all. It is very easy to get in touch with management and they get back to you immediately. The community is extremely clean. The food is delicious. The numerous activities are geared towards all interests. The grounds are beautiful. When my daughters, grand daughter, and grand dog and I visit we all feel we are part of the family. Everyone who works there knows our names and is so welcoming and inviting. I am so thankful for Maplewood at Orange."

"From the moment we arrived at Whitney Rehabilitation Care Center, the staff made us feel supported and cared for. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-maintained, offering a warm and comfortable environment. The food is thoughtfully prepared and caters to residents’ individual needs — my loved one actually looked forward to mealtime! The nursing and rehab teams are outstanding — they are not only professional and knowledgeable, but truly compassionate. They took the time to explain each step of the care plan, answered every question, and treated my family member with dignity and respect. The therapy department was especially impressive — they were patient, motivating, and instrumental in my loved one's recovery. I felt reassured knowing my family member was in such capable hands. I would highly recommend Whitney Rehab to anyone looking for skilled nursing or rehabilitation care. The dedication of the staff and the overall environment made a world of difference."

"I visited coachman square with my mother a week ago. This community is incredible! Everyone interacted with each other. The staff is amazing and caring. I spoke to one of the residents and she raved about the place. She had visited several places before she picked coachman and she knew this was her place to move to. They are redoing the interior with new carpet and updated furniture in September. We ate lunch and the food was completely fresh. The dining director came out to meet us and he explained the menu, diets and what he would do to help my mother with her diet restrictions. Leslie, who toured us was knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile! She answered every question we had. She showed us 2 apartments and they are huge! Bigger than all of the other places we went. The bathrooms are big and my mom will have no problem with wheelchair access. She introduced us to the executive director who has been there for many years. She was so wonderful. She also answered questions we had. They have a robust calendar of activities. They also have outings to museums, Mohegan sun, pet therapy, and exercise programs related to specific areas like arthritis and other conditions. They are going to have support groups once a month soon. The place is clean and inviting. Pricing is inexpensive for what you get! I am definitely going to bring mom here. She was so excited! Thank you Leslie and her staff for being so warm and welcoming"

"I toured Charter Senior Living of Woodbridge. It was a good experience. However, at that time, they didn't have enough staff. They were in the process of redoing the whole place, so there were a few little glitches about the staff. The food was good though. The rooms were really nice and big. The upkeep of the place was OK."

"I toured HarborChase of Madison, and they were redoing it. The size of the room was OK. The facility was clean. The dining area looked small, and the staff was very pleasant."

"I toured Carriage Green at Milford. The tour was fine. I thought it was really excellent. They have everything you ever need. The staff showed me three different rooms. The two 1-bedrooms were perfect. I wasn't interested in the studios, but the other two rooms were very large. They were certainly enough for one person and lots of storage. It was an excellent place. We went into the dining room. She explained everything to me, which was very nice. I thought that you had to have meals at a certain time every day, but that was not the case. Their restaurant was open all day, and you can eat when you want to. She also showed me the game room, the TV room, the conference room, the ice cream parlor, and the library. The staff was very nice. Even the people living there were very nice. When we walked through, they were very friendly. It was my first visit to that type of facility, and I was very impressed with it. I just have a lot of considerations, and I'm really not quite ready yet."

"It was our good fortune to be able to have our mother move into Long Hill Home as her memory issues became too advanced for us to care for her safely in her home. A beautiful residence that looks and feels just like a single family home, but with attentive 24/7 care. Excellent meals, well appointed rooms. Everything designed to provide calm and professional care and a safe and welcoming environment. I can't say enough about the staff and care she received. She was happy and loved. We appreciated that we were always welcome there. If you are looking for a new residence for your loved one who is struggling with Alzheimer's or dementia, we can assure you that you won't find a more accommodating and quality option that this."

"I toured Spring Village at Stratford. The facility looks nice. The staff was very helpful. She explained everything clearly, so it was very good, and everything looked fine."

"Benchmark at Split Rock was very nice. The lady we talked to was excellent and very informative. We looked at both assisted living and memory care. Everything seemed good. They sent us home with some sandwiches, and they tasted fine."

"I looked at this facility for my 91yr. Old mom who has dementia. I feel it is a perfect solution for her . The staff were engaged and genuinely caring of the residents. It was a warm and cozy home without a hint of the institutionalized feel but at the same time I felt confident that the CNA ‘s were very capable. I would highly recommend visiting and considering this type of facility . "

"The Village at Kensington Place is big enough, but it's not humongous. The memory care unit has a fabulous setup. The rooms are clean. The food was great. I thought it was a really nice place. The people seemed very caring. The girl who was going to do the tour had something come up, and she asked if I would mind going with the head chef. The chef was wonderful. They sent me home with a fresh loaf of freshly baked cranberry bread and it was fabulous. They had an outdoor space in the back of the building. They have two other little areas where they can go outside."

"Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull had a good appearance. It's well-maintained. The apartment was a good size and well maintained, too. The staff was knowledgeable and very professional. The dining area was clean. They have the normal clubs and there's like a list of maybe 15 things on the board, so the activities seemed more than adequate."

"My mom is in Bridges by EPOCH at Trumbull. It's all excellent. We were very impressed. It's very clean. They have a lot of programs that deal with memory care. The food is excellent. I give it two thumbs up. My mom likes listening to music. She's got dementia very badly, so that is pretty much what she does there. Her room is very nice and very clean. She has a room for a bed and some other furniture. There's a big closet, a sink, and a bathroom in there. They baked us an apple pie after we went to visit, and that was very good. But they will prepare anything she wants. If she likes blueberries, they'll go get her blueberries. They're very accommodating. We have had no issues. Their activities are geared toward people with memory loss. The value for money is comparable to everywhere else, but I think it's too much."
