The Best Senior Living Communities in Bristol, CT

"We have brought my aunt into Arden Courts of Avon, and they were all wonderful. She is there for a short-term respite. The reason we chose them was that they were very welcoming, the location was convenient to our home, and it didn't seem like a hospital-type setting. It feels very home. The staff who assisted us were excellent, professional, warm, and welcoming. We're very happy with the staff. We're very pleased with the facilities."

"The Residence at Brookside was a very nice facility. Partly the reason is because they're more expensive than the other place. It's a beautiful place. They have a memory care facility as well, but we didn't look at that. We only met the marketing lady, and she was very nice. We couldn't go in there if we didn't wear masks. I was impressed."

"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."

"There are multiple levels of rooms to meet the needs of different residents. My dad has a one bedroom and it’s perfect for him The food is great, basically available all day (7a-7p) The staff and faculty are amazing, responsive and so caring."

"I went to Avery Heights. I like the openness of the facility, and I like the activity that I saw around, and people interacting. It was very well maintained. It was clean, and they seemed to be very active on that. There were several floor plans available, and they all looked appropriate. For me, the one-bedroom is maybe a little small. Other than that, the floor plans were fine."

"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 visited Brookdale West Hartford and looked at their memory care unit for my mother. As a visitor, I liked everything about it. It's very nice, and the layout is very good. I like the way they laid out the floors. I think the food is very good, too. The people are very nice and very attentive. It's a very nice and very warm place. It's also a very clean facility."

"This faculty is top notch!! My mother in law has been going to the senior day program for a couple years now and the staff have been wonderful with her. She suffers from dementia and has done well here! Candace and Jennifer and Valerie are warm, friendly and compassionate!! I feel my mother in law is safe and in good hands! They offer me suggestions and always keep me informed of her day. They offer many fun activities , meals and my mother in law really enjoys the salsa dancing! Great place and great staff!!!"

"I like The Atrium at Rocky Hill. It really impressed me. I liked everything that I saw there. I really did. It's exclusively memory care. They have the aging in place philosophy, where they can provide mechanical diet and do two-person assist. If somebody loses their mobility, they can do hospice onsite. The activities and the physical facility itself are designed for residents with dementia, so it is all one floor. There are secure outdoor spaces that are freely accessible to the residents, and that is something very important. The rooms are very nice. Everyone I talked to impressed me very positively. The atmosphere was really nice. The staff I talked to were really nice. I saw activities going on. The staff interactions with the residents were really positive. The physical condition was very nice. There wasn't anything I didn't like. From the tour, they were pretty great."

"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."

"The Residence at Ferry Park is very beautiful and well-kept, with lots of natural light. I toured their memory care and saw an apartment there. I did not get to sample any of their food, but I'm sure it's good because they have a very nice menu. The staff and the people are very friendly, very attentive, and very nice."

"We got a tour of Holiday Lodge at Cold Spring. The staff did a wonderful job, but it's not my type of place. It seemed like it was a place for rich people. They didn't have a stove in the kitchen, and I couldn't understand that at all. The facility was very decent and very clean. The amenities that they had there were the same as the other place. You could use the bus, you could get your hair done, you could go to recreation, and you could have PT. The marketing person who gave us the tour was very good and gave a lot of information. She gave me a folder with a menu in it, and the menu looked pretty good. The dining area was very nice. I met the recreation director and the maintenance guy, and they were all very nice."

"My mom was at this facility for 4 months. She received excellent care. Her room was always clean and bedding. The staff was excellent and very attentive to my moms needs. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone is need for skilled nursing home. My mother loved playing bingo and they had different recreations for the patients. "
