Independent Living Communities in Hartford, CT

"We got a tour of Holiday Lodge at Cold Spring. The staff did a wonderful job, but it's not my type of place. It seemed like it was a place for rich people. They didn't have a stove in the kitchen, and I couldn't understand that at all. The facility was very decent and very clean. The amenities that they had there were the same as the other place. You could use the bus, you could get your hair done, you could go to recreation, and you could have PT. The marketing person who gave us the tour was very good and gave a lot of information. She gave me a folder with a menu in it, and the menu looked pretty good. The dining area was very nice. I met the recreation director and the maintenance guy, and they were all very nice."

"The Residence at Brookside was a very nice facility. Partly the reason is because they're more expensive than the other place. It's a beautiful place. They have a memory care facility as well, but we didn't look at that. We only met the marketing lady, and she was very nice. We couldn't go in there if we didn't wear masks. I was impressed."

"Brookdale South Windsor was nice. We liked it. It's really nice inside. However, the rooms were a little smaller than the place we chose. Everyone was very friendly when we were there. The building seemed so much bigger from the inside."

"My father moved into The Residence at South Windsor Farms. Our overall experience with it is very positive. I like that they know all the residents and that they make sure that they're getting the care that they need. The room is bright and up to date. He enjoys their food. They have all kinds of activities to choose from, like exercise, crafts, and games. The staff members are very friendly, and the residents seem happy and well cared for."

"The independent living community of Holiday Farmington is an amazing place. I wanted my mom to go there. However, she's not getting better every day, and she's going to need an assistant living soon anyway, so there's no need to go through all of that with independent living. The person who gave the tour was amazing. They showed me all the amenities and all the activity schedules. I witnessed the lunch gathering, so I did see the food. I didn't get to taste it, but it all looked good, and they had music playing. I spoke with the girl at the gym and in physical therapy. I spoke with many other people there, too. I saw all the common areas, which were the lounge, the movie night room, and the laundry rooms. I pretty much went through everything there. Then I saw the studio apartments that I wanted for my mom. They're big, clean, and immaculate. They look like they're well-maintained, and everything looks like new. We also went through the housekeeping schedule."

"My aunt is doing fine in Holiday White Oaks. She is very happy there. It's wonderful and it's impeccable. The staff made us feel so comfortable, like a family. Their food is very good. My aunt has no complaints. The staff members are wonderful. I've seen the activities, and they look great. My aunt would definitely participate. Right now, she's on oxygen in her room, which is fine, but she doesn't have a portable one yet and so we're waiting for the oxygen people to come out and put her a portable one on her arm so then she can walk around and do the activities. Nevertheless, their activities are wonderful. The rooms are filled with people, and they're all so happy. They have wheelchairs and they have walkers, but they get around and they just want to be with other people and have fun, and that's just what White Oaks allows, and it's wonderful."

"Rooms are spacious and clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. Food is fabulous! I highly recommend Stonebrook at Windsor Locks for your loved one!"

"Our tour of Covenant Living of Cromwell was great. It was awesome. It was like a hotel when you walked in there. It was absolutely beautiful. The staff was amazing. They had a cafeteria, a restaurant, and then they had a coffee shop. So there were three places you could go for a meal. They had a snack room, too. They allow you to have three meals a day, but it was like a credit card setup where they give you so much money every month and allotment for food. I think it was $300 for each person a month. The menus were awesome. The apartments were very nice. They even had a deck where you could go outside (each one had a patio deck). It's very quiet and you could bring pets if you wanted to. They had a movie theater, a music room, and an activities room where you could crochet or needlepoint or have any hobbies, you could do it there. They kept their residents engaged with a bunch of activities going on. We would have picked it, but we just couldn't afford it. It was a little on the high side."

"I visited Suffield by the River to see their memory care. It's top-notch and a great place. It's right near my home, very clean, and well-appointed. The staff could be a little bit friendlier, though. It's got everything that anybody would need but it's also a little bit pricey. They have shared rooms and private ones if you want to pay extra. They have common areas and a dining hall. They have activities and plenty of stuff for the residents to do. They also have a lot of in-house services like the usual hairdresser."

"Colebrook Village at Hebron was very nice. We had lunch there, which was just soup and a sandwich. The people were very friendly and very nice. There were many people who were using such devices, so that turned me off a little bit. But the facility was lovely, and the accommodations were lovely. The other thing I like about Colebrook is that they have a lot of people there that I know. So I wouldn't be going into a place without knowing anyone. So that was a plus. It was friendly and very accessible. There are some walking trails, and it is very near to my primary doctor, CVS, and a supermarket, and that's a plus. The person who works there brought me meals from Colebrook, and the food is very, very good."

"My mom was a resident of Holiday Quail Run Estates. The staff was friendly. It had a welcoming, open, and friendly atmosphere. They offered a couple of daily or weekly activities. They'd have their people come in or have programs come in. They also offered daily rides to a couple of local shopping centers like Walmart and Target. The dining area at that particular time was good. The food was good. She had no complaints."

"The staff is awesome, very caring and friendly, always willing to lend a hand. The meals are freshly prepared with optional choices as needed. The rooms are nice, the facility is very clean."
