The Village at South Farms

My brother-in-law is at The Village At South Farms. We chose this facility for its size, the fact that it was a smaller kind of assisted living with only 60 residents. It also looked like it had a good staff-to-patient ratio. The facility is very appealing with the friendliness of the staff and their outgoing nature. The staff is also very accommodating. What I like best about this facility is the fact that they seem to monitor my brother-in-law's everyday behavior very well, e.g., the nursing staff, the physical therapy, etc. They're very communicative. In terms of accommodations, they have very nice and very appealing rooms. They were able to accommodate my brother-in-law's wishes, e.g., being on the first floor. The food is very good. For activities, they have a pretty wide array of activities like musical entertainment, programs, movies, outtrips, etc. Overall, it is a very positive experience. At first, it was an adjustment for him but now, he is getting more and more adjusted.

We were looking for a place that my dad could have his own place, socialization and care if he needed it. He wanted to stay in Middletown where he has lived for over 40 years. After a few years of living here we were concerned with his short term memory. He was diagnosed with dementia. We were able to keep him there but transitioned him into the memory care. It has been the best decision! Great place and people!

I thought that everybody at The Village at South Farms was very nice, courteous, and happy, which is unusual. They're cheerful actually. I didn't meet the behind-the-scenes staff; I just met their director. The facility was a little pricey; however, it was a good and comfortable setting. Their rooms were of adequate size. I would recommend this place. However, including the price, I would just give them an average score.

My grandfather fell down the steps at home and got his leg broken. We ended up looking for assisted living facilities in the area. We took him to a few of the facilities located in the area, and "The Village at South Farms in Middletown, CT" by far was the best one. The facility is very well decorated and maintained making you feel as if you were in a mansion and living a fine life. There are giant chandeliers and a grand piano in the foyer which provides an elegant appeal to the place. The staff is as friendly as can be and he never had a problem with them. The residents are very well respected by staff and enjoy their company. The staff is responsible to help residents maneuver around the facility and let them participate in what ever program they would like. Everything a resident could want is available easily within the facility. The Village at South Farms has lavish gardens surrounding the facility which offers an eye catching view outside. Residents can sit outside and enjoy the natural beauty. I would recommend this facility for loved ones.
