My mother was at The Hearth at Southbury assisted living. It was good. She had a studio and it was large. It had a kitchenette, a large size bathroom, if you had to move around with a wheelchair, you could, there was a walk-in shower, a kitchen with a microwave, refrigerator, a sink, and a two-burner stove, but she never cooked anything there. She ate her meals there that they prepared. Their dining room was really nice. They had a cocktail hour, crafts, exercise, games, and bingo. They had an exercise room, a room with some physical therapy equipment, and there was medical staff available 24 hours. The residents had a wrist band medical type button they bring within the house. She said the food was very good.

I cannot recommend The Hearth enough. The staff has been overwhelmingly helpful, polite and caring for my mother.
The building is kept in excellent condition inside and out.
I have other facilities closer to MY home but chose The Hearth because it’s hands down the best value and care.
Thank you Hearth for taking such good care of my Mom.

I checked out many facilities and wanted to get my parents a place for the long run. This place met all their needs. The rooms are great and the staff is very accommodating. They made the transition very easy. My parents are enjoying the people,staff and being close to their children, grandkids and great grandkids.

Words can not even begin to express how happy we are that our parents are residents of the Heart (Assisted Living). More importantly, is how HAPPY our Mom & Dad are to be part of the Hearth Family.
They absolutely LOVE everything about Living at the Hearth. Their apartment ( & common areas) are just beautiful ( & so clean); they adore the staff (they are all very attentive & SO helpful) , the activities ( every day is filled with different activities that they look forward to participating in) and they enjoy having tasty meals, in a lovely dining room- with all their friends at nearby tables.
I can honestly say that my parents are the happiest that they have been in years. All the stress and struggles they had when living alone is no longer present.
Mom & Dad have developed a new zest for life, they wake up & can't wait to start their day; full of activities & socializing with their friends. All the loneliness and isolation, they had when living alone, is a thing of the past.
Our Lives are so much better too; we no longer have daily worries about Mom & Dad's health & safety; we know that they re being well taken care of at The Hearth.
Seeing Mom & Dad thriving at the Hearth makes us so happy that we are all now part of the Hearth Family! Its a Fantastic Community!

The Hearth at Southbury is very welcoming, well-staffed, clean, friendly, and upbeat. We chose it for my dad because of location, price, size, and the level of interest of the staff. My dad is in assisted living. They're very good and have a pretty good amount of activities and outside excursions with the bus. I'm very happy with The Hearth. It's a very good fit for my dad.

I visited The Hearth at Southbury, and the staff was really great. They had a nice restaurant and everybody seemed happy. I just think that the studio was too small, but it would still have been sufficient. I liked it a lot.

The Hearth at Southbury seemed cozy and clean. The person that we met -- Cathy -- was friendly, helpful, and answered all of our questions. She seemed to really care very much about the residents. It was very clean and modern. They showed us a small apartment, but when I first walked in, it had a funny smell to it. For the services they provided, I could understand the cost.

My father has been living at The Hearth for almost a year and I am very pleased with the facility, its services and its staff of nurses and caregivers. He has his own apartment, which offers him some independence and privacy, while receiving the benefit of the staff administering his medications and making sure he gets to meals, etc. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and I am kept up to date regarding my father's various health issues. I feel very confident in the level of care that he receives. I wholeheartedly recommend The Hearth to anyone searching for an assisted living residence for their family member.

I will be moving into The Hearth at Southbury within the next few weeks. I have just visited it once and took the tour, but I was impressed with the care and upkeep of the building, the facilities, and the friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff. I saw one room -- the one that I know had a deposit on; it’s a bit on the small side, but I will be able to manage to get the things in of mine that I will need. The bathing facilities are very good. It’s large, and the shower has a built-in corner seat for safety. It also has a large floor-to-ceiling closet for storage, so I think everything will be fine. I visited the community and talked with the person who was guiding us. She showed us the rooms and told us about the facilities. I know there are things going on because there was a man playing the piano in one of the rooms, and I believe they have regular movies. I know of people who have been there and are very satisfied with it. The price was satisfactory for me to some extent. However, I’m going to have to apply for additional help from the VA being a widow of a service person in order to cover all of the things that I'd like to have when I’m there.

I like The Hearth at Southbury very much; that one was my second choice. It’s a younger clientele ,and they are very busy; people are walking in the hallways. I like the rooms as it is like an apartment. The people were very friendly, and the location just a little bit off for me, so I have to decide.

The Hearth at Southbury is a very nice property. I think it is very professional and very well done. The woman who showed us through was very good. It was a very productive visit. In terms of serving the needs that are at hand, it's a very possible candidate. The rooms were good, but they were a little small.

It was a very nice facility. Their activities were fine. They had an art studio and they had a lounge. They showed movies there. They had lots of programs. They had fitness programs and they even had a belly- dancing program. They had transportation that would take them anywhere they wanted to go.

My family and I could not be more happy with the experience we had at, The Hearth. My mom has passed but the last 3 years of her life she made new friends at The Hearth. The staff and residents there are our family now and always will be.

I have toured The Hearth at Southbury and find it to be a wonderful community. My friend is looking at making a move as her home is on the market now. We toured several communities and find this one to meet all her needs. We meet with Kathy and she was by far the most knowledgeable of all the communities we visited. Everyone seemed happy, there was lots going on and you could tell that staff cared about the people living there. We looked at the studio and studio deluxe and they were both very spacious and the bathrooms were great. They were safe and helpful to seniors without looking like a hospital bathroom. There was a few different activities going on while we were visiting, one was a word game I believe they called it spaghetti words and the other was a craft they were doing for the fall for the residents doors. We stayed for lunch and very much enjoyed the food as well. They have thought about everything, transportation, meals, family areas, activities and much more. My friend is very much looking forward to making the move to The Hearth at Southbury.
