The Best Senior Living Communities in Danbury, CT

"We like them for my mother because the memory care facility was on one floor. We like the way it was configured. She will be moving there. The staff has been so accommodating and welcoming to my mom. She is not living there yet. From what we've seen, we really like it. They had a community event outside on one of the days that we were there. The food was good. The memory care people are able to access the entire building with assistance. They have a very nice restaurant. They could have their own P.O. box there. They have a movie theater, and they have people come in to do music. There are a lot of activities."

"I liked the Maplewood at Newtown. It had several floors and they designed it nicely. The rooms, the hall, and the carpet on all the floors are the same. As people decline, they put them on the lowest floor, and they have no idea that they changed rooms or areas. That was very impressive. The staff was very nice. They talked to us and showed us the brochures. They showed us the rooms and explained everything. I had a good impression. They showed us the studios, but I was interested in a one-bedroom. They had a beautiful library, a TV room, and a sitting room. Name it and they have it. In case you want anything special, you just tell them, and they do whatever they can for you."

"I went to Benchmark Senior Living at Ridgefield Crossings. It was very nice walking in. You felt like you were home in a regular setting. It was very nice, and it was comforting going in there. The apartment was very spacious. When we peeked in someone's room, they made it look like their own house. It was very nice and very pleasing. The staff was wonderful. She was great. She took her time and talked about everything. She brought us around to the assisted living. Then we stopped by shortly into the memory care. They had a little choir thing going on and somebody was playing in a room. It was nice to see the whole facility at that point. The dining area was beautiful, and it was nice. The layout was great, and it definitely was very clean. She showed us a room where they had the activities and what they're doing. They had a lot of crafts going on. They had a chorus where you could join in, which was going on at the time. It was nice to see. There were a lot of people there."

"My mother was in the memory care unit. The staff was so compassionate and tried everything to help make her stay there comfortable. They really tried to get to know the individual and what works/does not work for them. There was constant communication between family and staff about how she was doing. I was there almost every day, at all different times, and she was always dressed and clean and well taken care of. As were the other residents."

"I like Church Hill Village very much, and we're considering it. It is a lovely place, very clean and attractive, and the food was very good. We were given a tour of the potential rooms we could rent and live in, and they were lovely. The manager is accommodating and great. His assistant is very kind and she made us feel very comfortable about my husband living there. They would take care of all of his needs. They have a beautiful restaurant where everybody seems to be getting good service and good food, and the people seem very happy there. It's always light and bright in that room. We were given a lovely lunch, and it was a very nice experience. The waitresses and waiters were very kind and patient. The physical therapy person was very, very helpful in that he would be able to assist my husband in getting the physical therapy he needs, which is very important. Other than that, they have basic art classes, movies, and everything else that a person could enjoy. The facility is well done. Everything seems to center around where the staff is. So, you're never alone. There's always somebody nearby. "

"We had a good experience with Meadow Ridge. There are people who are very active there and they have programs. We visited twice and we had some of their food, but it was not a sit down, so it's difficult to really say. It was quite expensive."

"Over two years have gone by since I first reviewed the Greens, and I can still say without hesitation that my sisters and I remain thrilled and relieved by the care that our parents are receiving at the Greens. Our parents require more attention and assistance now than when they moved to the Greens over 3 years ago, and the staff at the Greens continues to provide that care in a very compassionate and kind manner. The nursing director is probably the greatest asset and resource at the Greens. Our family is completely confident and reassured by her commitment and caring for the residents. There are many other noteworthy personnel, from the aides to the recreation, transportation, and dining room staff. The bottom line is that residents are treated like family, and our family is so grateful to have discovered the Greens at Cannondale."

"I like Motif by Monarch. It's very nice. It fits my needs. The location was great. The people there were great. The activities seemed to be good. It's an A-plus. They had a library and a gathering room with a bar, and that was nice. They can eat outdoors in good weather. Some of the rooms have a kitchen, and some of them don't, so it depends on what you need. I only interacted with one employee and she was very nice and very informative. She did a good job explaining everything to me. She was very knowledgeable."

"I love the Spring Meadows by Monarch. It was clean and bright. The decor was amazing. They had that soothing blue. And the residents that we passed by were really pleasant. They were all so very happy. The room itself was just amazing. It was a perfect fit for what I was looking for. The sales manager was extremely nice and very informative in terms of the community, especially the activities that are offered. It was nice. The receptionist was amazing, and the nurses that walked by were very well-mannered and very pleasant."

"Pomperaug Woods was very nice and very friendly, but they were a little bit expensive. It was independent living, but they also have assisted living. The staff was very good. They have artists, composers, and very highly intelligent people living there. They have a varied program of things. A resident moved their own grand piano in there and would practice the piano during the day. It was all interactive. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to explain all about the people that were living there, the artwork hanging on the wall, and what artists did it. The facility was very nice. It's all one level. They have an outdoor court, and when it's nice weather, they hold all the concerts out there. They had the Blue River Jazz Band there. It's top-notch entertainment."

"I had an in-person tour of Sunrise of Wilton. The facility was clean. The organization was manageable. The atmosphere is wonderful. The rooms were relatively good. They were huge, but a livable space for seniors to move around and feel comfortable in their setting. The staff was very compassionate, caring, loving, and communicable. They have a lot of activities, like making sure that the seniors walk around. They had games and people coming in."

"I like Brookdale Wilton very much. It's older, but it's very nice and very well cared for. They have nice spaces, and the room that they showed us was fine. It is definitely on our list. The staff who gave me the tour was very nice, very informative, and very helpful. She went through everything. She did a very good job of it. She was helpful not only with her place but with that kind of care generally, so that was nice. She didn't rush, and she showed us everything. We were very happy with her help."

"My mom is in Ludlowe Center for Health and Rehabilitation for rehab. It's a very nice facility. It's very clean. The staff is very attentive, and they're very helpful. It's not your typical nursing home. It's a lot nicer than that. It's more homey. My mother seems to be OK with the food. She's in physical therapy every day. I'm not here when they do that, but they're trying to get her up, moving, walking, and stuff. Her room is very nice. It's clean, and it doesn't look like a hospital room or anything."

"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 . "
