The Best Assisted Living Communities in Tolland County, CT

"Our experience with Stonebrook Village at Windsor Locks has been very good. I love it. Everybody is grea, the place is terrific, and they've got activities going on every day. The rooms are very nice and very clean. My wife has a perfect little apartment. The food is great, and the value is good because everything is included."

"Brookdale West Hartford is new and bright. They have a very adequate program for 25 residents. They have nice corridors. The rooms are understandably small. No frills, but adequate. They have several different styles of rooms, but they don't want you in your room, they want you out doing a program. They have a program that, after breakfast starts at 10 and goes until 7 p.m. That's nice and varied. It's not the same routine daily. It involves chair exercise, arts, music, and cognitive stimulation. It looked great. Everybody was involved in some sort of activity. If you don't want to be involved, you can sit and watch and still be visually stimulated. They have a very nice patio seating area for residents. I like it very much. It's a little bit higher cost. It's absolutely lovely. The dining area for memory care is all contained. It doubles as a craft space in between meals. It looks perfectly adequate. It has a nursing center cubicle, which I like. It's well-staffed. There are lots of people in all three shifts. If I were making the decision alone, I would certainly think Brookdale West Hartford is a beautiful place to have a family member. The staff who gave the tour was very helpful, informative, and very pleasant. He toured me around. He made himself available for questions at any time. It was a very good experience."

"We went to Avery Heights. The staff members were very friendly. The dining area looked OK. The place was impeccable. It looked wonderful and really nice. The pool was a huge draw to us. And if my mom was transitioning into needing more care, I felt like they were going to handle it the best. I was surprised the grounds were very pretty, but the rooms were very, very small."

"Both my parents were residents of Summerwood. As their oldest child I felt it was my responsibility to ensure they were in a clean and safe environment. Summerwood offered that but so much more. From the delicious meals served in a lovely dining room, to the in-house events, parties, entertainment and activities as well as the trips offered off the property, they could do as much or as little as they wanted. The apartments are lovely and brand-new looking. Mom and Dad's was kept very clean. On one occasion I was notified by the staff nurse that my Dad was ill and they handled getting him to the hospital. It was comforting to know that both Mom and Dad were always being looked after and I didn't have to worry. The staff was a pleasure to work and they went above and beyond to ensure Mom and Dad were content and happy. My parents also found the staff to be very caring and fun. I highly recommend Summerwood for your loved ones (or yourself!). "

"The rooms at Brookdale Chatfield were very well appointed and very nice, not overly spacious, but certainly well laid out. The staff and the lady who showed me around were nice and very thorough. It was close to everything as far as shopping and the City of West Hartford. It was a very nice place. The dining room was very nice. They have a room that has billiards, a place where you can get your hair done, and a little gymnasium with machines."

"Elmbrook Village is a very nice place. They have lots of activities. They help remind mom to take her pills, help with her ostomy bag twice a week, with light housework, and they clean her place. She is in a 1-bedroom apartment. They have programs that help strengthen their brains, games, arts, and field trips. They have an exercise room and a library. The food is great."

"We went to Commonwealth Senior Living at Haddam. It was very good. The facility itself was beautiful. It was spotless and well-staffed. The people that we met were all very, very nice. The units were very, very nice. We looked at a studio and a single room and they were actually really, really nice. They got everything you would need."

"My grandmother lived at this facility for the last 15 years. She was well taken care of by most of the staff. The issues that I or my family had with the facility were taken care of very quickly and efficiently. Although, I wish that no one needed these facilities, if I had to recommend one, this would be it. The staff was professional. The other patients were friendly. The building was well maintained. "

"The Ivy at Ellington looked very lovely. The staff was very, very cordial. They showed me the whole thing, it was very nice, they have like a bar room, a game room, a garden area, and a couple of sun rooms. Everything looked very nice. It's a fairly new facility."

"There are two levels in this center and, if I remember correctly, two wings on each level. The nurses, recreation staff, nursing assistants and even the janitorial staff in each area are very nice. The staff was helpful and quick to respond to residents' requests and call lights. Some rooms are double and some are private, all are very homey and many of the residents have made their rooms look like home. This facility has a lot of activities including bingo and community mealtimes for the residents and other opportunities for them to socialize. The location is very nice and there is a great outdoor space with sidewalks (handicapped accessible) and benches where family or volunteers can take residents for a visit. I did not have a family member staying in this facility but visited on several occasions as a volunteer while I was in college at the University of Connecticut about 20 minutes away. "

"The tour was fantastic. The facility was like a 5-star resort. Everything was beyond expectations. It was just beautiful. It was fancier and better than I expected. The staff during the tour was amazing and super friendly. The memory care woman was just the best. They had all kinds of great programs and they're very involved with the residents. It was very impressive. The food was fantastic. The individual rooms were very spacious. They had a common area and different restaurants within the facility. They went the extra length to personalize the rooms and then showcase each resident."

"My tour at Arbors of Hop Brook was excellent. The woman that gave me the tour was very knowledgeable. She had been working there for a long time. She showed me all the rooms and all the activity rooms and the cafeteria. I was very pleased with her tour. The rooms were good. They were big. They had a mini kitchen as opposed to the full kitchen that you get through the other facility. They had an exercise area and a library."
