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.

The staff at Brookdale Chatfield seemed very supportive. The residents there seemed very happy with what the staff was doing for them. The organization is one where you pay on a monthly basis as opposed to buying in. The rooms seemed small. They had different sizes from very small efficiencies up to 2-bedroom units, and if we were going to move there, we would probably look at one of the 2-bedroom units.
The community itself looks like it’s been around for maybe twenty years, but they have done a good job of maintaining it so that everything looks fresh and good. The kitchen facilities were up to date. The stove and the refrigerator were all new. Any time anybody moved in, they completely renovated that particular unit -- put in new carpeting and repainted -- so when you moved in, the unit itself looked very new. We were quite impressed with everything.

Everybody at Brookdale Chatfield has been nice to us. The food is not bad at all; it's actually pretty good. The people are nice and accommodating. So far, it seems like a very pleasant place to be. There is a room with physical fitness equipment. They've just constructed new buildings for assisted living.

I was actually disappointed with Brookdale Chatfield because it was under construction. It looked pretty bad. The apartments were nice. I thought they were of good size.

We chose the Chatfield for my aunt because they had a special running that month and we could afford it. They have a movie every other night, for she likes to be social. They have the typical things, like bingo. They have culture clubs. I think the activities have been the best thing for her. They have great food there, and there's an everyday menu that they can pick from if the meal of the day isn't something they like. They're extremely accommodating about meals. They do breakfast and dinner. They have a little cafeteria where people can order lunch and pay for it; it's not included in the rent. They were very accommodating about answering all my questions. The follow-through hasn't been as good as I would like. They're very enthusiastic and excited in the moment, but then when I followed through the following week, not everything always happened. It's extremely clean; you don't worry about that. I think they're doing a good job.

Overall it was very clean and well maintained, like that you would expect of a nice hotel. There were no odd smells or strong cleaning products. We were all impressed by the promotion of healthy living, physical fitness, and mental help if needed. A large pool and workout area, all pluses. I mean, it definitely had an old people vibe walking around, as in the carpet and floral decorations, though, that's the sort of thing that would bug me and not my boyfriends grandmother.

My wife has moved into Brookdale Chatfield. I'm very satisfied with it. The living atmosphere is favorable. She has a very beautiful, large corner room. It has free window, a large toilet facility, and a shower. The staff is favorable. The meals are feasible. They do exercises, listen to music, they go on trips, and there's a TV room. The facilities are very nice and very bright.
