"Holiday Farmington was outstanding. The staff was fantastic. A lot of times when you go into these places, they're kind of talking down to you because you're old, and you don't know what you're doing. This guy was phenomenal. He was just absolutely wonderful. It's very clean. The people there, you can tell, like it there, because they're very friendly to people just coming in off the street. I was struck by the fact that they have a physical therapist in the building. They have all kinds of activities and the transportation part is great to the point where the staff said that if two or three of the residents wanted to go to a particular restaurant, they would drive us there, and they would come back and get us. It's not just hospitals or doctors that they run transportation for. I was very impressed with that. It's an outstanding place. We saw the menus and they're very varied, but there's something there for everybody to eat. They also had a cafe if you didn't want to go to the dining room. People were coming in and getting coffee and Danish or cereal or whatever they wanted. The food looked very tasty. I like them very much."

"Brookdale Gables Farmington is an independent living facility. The pricing was very reasonable. Everybody was engaging. There were a lot of activities going on. The meals looked very good. I did not attend any programs, but the programming looked fine. I was looking for a one-bedroom, one-bath. I don't recall anything negative at all about it. The staff was very accommodating. I had a complete tour of the facility. They showed me the rooms, went to where we would be eating our meals, and where some of the activities were going on. I saw a full month's schedule of activities and saw several menus. I was very pleased. Marie did the tour, and she did a great job. I saw the area where they do the crafts and the outdoor areas. The guest dining area was lovely. They had rooms where they had other activities, a library, and a store that was run by the people there, and it was lovely. The staff was very friendly."

"I would rate Evergreen Crossings Retirement Community a five all over. It's a beautiful facility. The people there are amazing and very friendly. The people who were sitting around were very engaging. Mark was wonderful. He gave us so much information. They have three meals a day, with a hot breakfast or continental if you want to do that. They also have washers and dryers in their apartments, which is something that not every place has. The meals are buffet style. They have open parking, but they also have valet parking. They do cleaning every week and change the sheets. They have garages. You pay more for the garage, of course. Their monthly rates are very reasonable, about $3,000 to $5,000. It's right by a mall and other grocery stores. It is very close to everything you need. They gave us a little treat to take home. They were serving a meal at that time, and I was able to look at the food. There were lots of people eating, and everything looked very delicious. Out of the places I did go to, this is one of my favorites."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"I toured Commonwealth Senior Living at Haddam. It was a very good tour. They had a couple of units available, and they showed them all to us. They would have worked out because they offered more services. It was a very pretty location. The facilities were very nice. We saw people doing all different kinds of things, and the staff was very pleasant. Everybody we spoke to was very nice and accommodating. And the cook came out to meet us and asked if we had questions. It was very nice. The apartments were very nice. They were one-bedroom units with bigger kitchen areas and full-sized appliances. I liked the rooms a little better. They were a little more spacious than the other place, although they were both in very nice condition. They had just painted and put new carpets in, and so everything looked very nice."

"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."

"Robyn was the person who led the tour at Atria Larson Place, and she was phenomenal. She made you feel like a family. The property itself was lovely, decorated very nicely, and very up-to-date. The residents seemed very friendly. People would say hello. We were taken on a tour of their small cafe, dining area, and the activities room. There was a concert going on when we were there, and the apartment seemed lovely. Then we met with Greg, the business person, and went over the details. He was also very nice and willing to work with you. It was overall a very positive experience, and my aunt's looking forward to moving there. We had no complaints about anything. It was just lovely. We looked at a studio at first, and it was adequate. It wasn't large, but it had a little bit of separation from the living area. It was a nice set up for being a studio, but we preferred the one bedroom, which wasn't more money at that point, and it seemed to be a bit larger than one of the other places we looked at. Their dining area was also lovely. There were tablecloths on it. It wasn't mealtime, so there was no one in there, but it was set up very nice, kind of like a fine restaurant."
