The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in New Haven County, CT

"I toured Masonicare At Ashlar Village. I think they had some of the nicest rooms that I've seen. It was a clean facility. The people were very pleasant. The food was good. They offered a lot of activities. The staff members were very accommodating and attentive. I felt it was a quality facility."

"Right now, my brother is in a nursing home at Village Green of Waterbury. We were there before, and then he was out for a couple of weeks, but now he is back there to get strength. My brother is still weak, but he is getting physical and occupational therapy there. He is also getting manual dialysis four times a day, but he is not able to do much more there until he gets stronger. The staff's work ethic is very good. The rooms are very fine; they're roomy. With regards to food, if you eat in the dining room, it is very nice, but if you eat and get it from the floor below, it is always cold. "

"Evergreen Woods was fabulous. I liked the congeniality, the food was terrific, they had a private dining room set up, and we could have steak or anything. I have two cats and two dogs, and the CEO came down to me and said, "Don't worry, we'll have all your pets." Everybody we saw was lovely and willing to help; that was very nice. They had everything, and everything was spotlessly clean. It made sense where everything is located -- everything was near to your room or your apartment. The quality is just really good."

"My mother is in Lutheran Home of Southbury. They've been very nice and good to my mother. She likes the food. I haven't been able to get to visit her in a while because of the virus. One time I visited her and she was happy with where she was and how things were going. She doesn't participate in a lot of things, but she does do some chair exercise type activities, and maybe they'll go watch a movie in the evening. They have entertainment coming in in the afternoons as well. They have lots of activities, but she doesn't participate in too many of them. She's comfortable there. I haven't seen much of the staff. My mother says if she pushes her button, they're right there, they're very attentive to her, so that's a good thing. They were renovating when I was there. A lot of stuff was torn up. I think once things are finished it's gonna be real nice. It's not bad even with the construction and disruptions. Her room looks out over the playground. There's a school nearby. She's getting good care there. It's worth the price."

"The Watermark at East Hill was nice, but the apartment then was $450,000. If you die or you go away, they keep 20%. The restaurant was like a very expensive hotel in New York. The people were nice, everything was set up nicely, and I liked it, although it was a little hard because they would keep $80,000 in case you moved out or you died. Maintenance was very nice. They would clean every other day or every three days. The food was excellent. The seniors there weren't as old or as dilapidated as I have seen in many other places. They invited me several times back. I think I had three meals there. They have speakers coming in, and they invite you to attend."

"With this website, I have learned about the elderly and how the system really works with and sometimes against them. Currently I have an aunt in a nursing home facility and it seems its working well for her and our family at this time. "

"My family member received attentive, caring and thorough care from nurses, MD, CNAs, social worker and housekeeping. Everyone was so kind and helpful for his rehab stay there. The social worker was excellent in keeping us informed re: progress and plan of care. The facility was very clean and needs were met. I would recommend it to anyone."

"I visited Luther Ridge with my son. It was very nice. The people were nice. They have lots of things to do. They have things that older people would enjoy doing. They have a bus that takes you where you want to go. I thought Luther Ridge was very nice except for the fact that the rooms were small. "

"My daughter is in Apple Rehab Cromwell for rehab. They are well-equipped and staffed. She's in a private room. They have a dining hall and activity room. It's an older building. The staff is fine."

"So far, I haven't found anything that I like least about Jerome Home & Arbor Rose. What I like best is they are very understanding, willing, and very helpful when it comes to working with my mom and she seems to enjoy the other residents. The staff is very accommodating, very helpful, and extremely friendly. The facility is extremely clean. Some parts of the building are older, but it's still beautiful. My brother saw the activities and he was impressed, and he's the kind of person who is hard to impress."

Welcome to Greystone Retirement Home! Greystone Retirement Home ASSISTED LIVING WITH Care…Comfort…Companionship A Pleasant Home Alternative for the Elderly Today’s challenge in the long-term care business is to create suitable shelter and care solutions to meet the steadily increasing needs of an elderly community of people who can no longer remain totally independent but who do not require nursing care. The social goal of Greystone’s continuum of care is to permit an individual to live in the least restrictive environment with the greatest amount of privacy for as long as possible. Loss of partial independence need not lead to permanent loss of self-esteem or loss of power to exercise competent choices and decisions in one’s own life. Greystone Retirement Home’s philosophy is to preserve and support self-esteem and independent individual identity and enable its residents to enlarge their social circles and expand their opportunities for sharing and giving to others. Greystone provides an environment, which serves to bring the residents together, re-empowering them to the fullest feasible extent by helping to remove any shame of failure and decline through compassionate help. Greystone’s greatest challenge lies in achieving the right balance of services so that independence is encouraged without jeopardy to safety and well-being. Greystone’s aim is to provide the security and comfort of well-being for all residents, by means of an appropriate blend of personal care, health care, spiritual enrichment, and social service. Greystone is licensed by the State of Connecticut as a Residential Care Home and does not discriminate against any resident before, during, or after admission to residency on the basis of race, color, creed, age, handicap, sex, sexual preference, or national origin.

"Everything I saw at The Watermark At 3030 Park was a five. The place is nice and new. It has been refurbished and it is completely renovated. It is very nice. I was showed a couple of rooms, and they are very nice. Everything was new."

"My dad has been a resident at Middlewoods in Newington since August 2015. Since my mom passed, my sister & I were looking for a place where he could maintain his independence while being under a watchful eye. We are beyond pleased with the administration, the nurses and all the assistants who get my dad through his day. Each employee is friendly, upbeat, patient and engaging. The activities each week are excellent (great parties, too!) The dining room is lovely & shares a very attentive staff who make quite sure that the resident is satisfied with the meal. My dad's apartment is clean, comfortable and just the right amount of space. I highly recommend Middlewoods of Newington!! "

"My mother is in Masonicare at Chester Village. We chose it because it was the most country setting, like being in a home. It's not an institution. It's very homey. You have your own apartment. They have a dining room, and they have meals. It's very luxurious. She's independent living, with an aide living with her in her apartment, but they have assisted living and memory care as well. The staff members are all very, very caring, and very helpful. They're always available for whatever you need. If you need maintenance, they fix it. If you can't get your TV on, they come turn it on for you. She has the option to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the dining room or she can have breakfast in their apartment. It's like a five-star restaurant. We eat there all the time. There are all kinds of activities. They have everything you could want to do if you're able to do it. They do movies, they do plays, they do bus trips, they have a gym, they have an indoor pool, they have an outdoor pool, and they have walking trails. They take them to dinner at outside restaurants three times a week with the bus. They have all kinds of stuff. If you need somebody just to give you meds, they give you meds. If you need somebody to come in and give you showers, they'll give you showers. It's like you can pick and choose what you need."
