The Best Senior Living Communities in Enfield, CT

"I like Holiday Bluebird Estates. It seems very clean and spacious. The residents seemed pretty happy. They were all smiling, which made a good first impression. The staff was very cordial, very helpful, and informative. They have a section where there's a pool table. There are tables for them to play cards or whatever else they have. They have a room with books for reading and a TV for watching. They have another section with some aerobics equipment for working out. They have an activity room where they play bingo. There's a community kitchen with a stove and a fridge. I also saw a couple of studios and one-bedroom apartments, which were very clean and nice."

"I didn't have any negatives at The Reserve at East Longmeadow. It's absolutely beautiful. It's lovely, new, and spacious. It has a lot of natural light everywhere. It's larger than the other place, so it has a lot of different seating options for the residents and their guests. There are more facilities and more activities. While I didn't dine there, I looked at the menus, and the menu options for the senior residents are wonderful. They have many options for all meals. And it looks like it's fine dining, so that was impressive."

"I toured The Wellington at Springfield. It's in a beautiful area, very, very beautiful, pretty area. The building inside and out was very clean and very organized. The people up front were just wonderful. I can't remember that girl's name, but she was very helpful. The rooms were perfect. I loved Wellington. Full kitchen, so all the appliances were there, which made a big difference."

"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."

"My father will be moving into The Village at Buckland Court. Everyone's been really friendly. They make my dad very welcome there. It's very spacious inside. We liked how there was a lot of little gathering spots in the building. Everyone's very welcoming. My dad's very comfortable."

"My father moved into The Residence at South Windsor Farms. Our overall experience with it is very positive. I like that they know all the residents and that they make sure that they're getting the care that they need. The room is bright and up to date. He enjoys their food. They have all kinds of activities to choose from, like exercise, crafts, and games. The staff members are very friendly, and the residents seem happy and well cared for."

"Evergreen Crossings Retirement Community was lovely. We visited my father-in-law and he gave us a tour. We had a meal. Everything was positive. It was pleasant. He was clean. All the staff was very helpful, caring and considerate, professional and friendly. I saw nothing wrong. I had a prime rib. The chef was excellent. He had a two-bedroom and it was well-sized. The place was clean and it was warm. I didn't see the activities other than the meal. However, the price was going up considerably."

"My aunt is doing fine in Holiday White Oaks. She is very happy there. It's wonderful and it's impeccable. The staff made us feel so comfortable, like a family. Their food is very good. My aunt has no complaints. The staff members are wonderful. I've seen the activities, and they look great. My aunt would definitely participate. Right now, she's on oxygen in her room, which is fine, but she doesn't have a portable one yet and so we're waiting for the oxygen people to come out and put her a portable one on her arm so then she can walk around and do the activities. Nevertheless, their activities are wonderful. The rooms are filled with people, and they're all so happy. They have wheelchairs and they have walkers, but they get around and they just want to be with other people and have fun, and that's just what White Oaks allows, and it's wonderful."

"I toured with a family member looking for independent living. I was shown a nice apartment in the main building, many amenities. I also looked at a cottage, beautiful, great size and even has a garage and full basement. The grounds have many opportunities for walking, sitting and interacting with residents on the property."

"The person who took me around River Mills Assisted Living at Chicopee Falls was very knowledgeable. My husband has Parkinson's and Lewy Body and she was very knowledgeable about what residents with those kinds of problems need. When she was describing the programs that they offer there, I was really impressed with them. She was really engaged and very knowledgeable. She cared very much about the residents and explained all the different kinds of activities they have and why they were important. She just knew a lot medically and about how to provide a decent life to people with these kinds of illnesses. I really liked the space, the layout, and the terrace they have for people to be able to hangout outside. This facility was much nicer than the other place I went to. I wasn't that impressed with their main area though. There was TV blasting, but the memory care space was the nicest."

"Orchard Valley at Wilbraham was fabulous. All of the staff members were wonderful. Stephanie was the one that I dealt with, and she couldn't have been any more attentive or helpful. The room that my cousin was going to go into was way more than we expected. It was really like a two-room suite, it was delightful. My cousin was going into a respite room, and then if that worked out and she decided to stay, then she would bring her own things in. We were thrilled that they offered that kind of situation because everything was happening so fast here that we needed to move quickly. So, going into a respite room rather than thinking about having to outfit it with all of my cousin's own furniture made it a lot easier. We were really sad that it didn't end up happening, but they couldn't have been any more helpful."

"My father-in-law was at Keystone Commons and it was very good. It's clean and the staff was attentive. His room was well cared for. It was very good. Everything was more than adequate. As my father-in-law's abilities to take oral nutrition independently faded or were diminished, the staff was attentive and helpful when he needed assistance on that. Depending on someone's functional abilities, they offer differing activities, whether it's games or things like bingo or music therapy. They offer pet therapy as well."

"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!!!"

"My mom moved to Connect55+ Manchester. Everybody's nice, however, on the second day the washing machine broke, but other than that everything has been great. Everybody's been super nice. The staff is nice. If you see anybody, they introduce themselves, tell you what they do, and offer to show you around. They're very kind and helpful, and a really nice group. The facility is nice and clean. Everything's brand new. They've just built it these past years. They've got a full-time activities director. She's got everything and we did charcuterie boards one night. There's some kind of exercise thing every day. They have movies and there are games. My mom has a two-bedroom apartment for $2,100 in a full community with activities and comes with a washer and dryer and trash service. It's pretty good."
