"It was a very nice place with very nice people. The rooms they had available for us though was in the basement facing the backside of the building and there was no sunshine coming in. It was a very spacious unit, but it was dark. It was kind of a cramped place. The hallways were tight and it was a very big place. So, my parents might get lost in there. The dining hall doesn't serve breakfast. They only served lunch or dinner."

"My Father-in-law was a charter member at Evergreen crossing and loved everything about his time there. The food was excellent, the people were wonderful. It was a big comfort to me to know that he was cared for so well when I could not be with him. I could not say enough good things about this residence. Bill, the manager, was phenomenal. He went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed and was always attentive to any requests or concerns. You could not ask for a better manager than Bill. The staff exceeded our expectations. The facility itself was like living in a Marriott it was so beautiful. It truly made my father-in-law’s final years the best ones. We will miss all of the people and staff. If you want the very best for your loved one or yourself, do not hesitate to come here to this caring, luxurious residence. You will not be disappointed. "

"I was impressed with White Oaks and liked the owner's (Holiday Retirement) philosophy. They really catered to the elderly. The rooms were very nice and well kept. The activities were geared toward the elderly with group activities like card playing. They have outdoor activities and go places. "

"Mom is getting excellent care at Emeritus at South Windsor. I know that they have plenty of activities, but at the level my mom is at right now, I don’t think she participates in them. They have a wonderful staff and I think they pretty much follow up all the way around as much as they can. "

"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."

"We're in Stonebrook Village at Windsor Locks. This is our second year here. It's very easy to get to. It's right off the highway and that makes it easy for our son. I think we finally figured out the reason we're paying so much money is because we're helping to offset the nursing costs for people who need that. And since we don't need it, it doesn't seem fair. When we wanted to move, they only had certain units available, so we moved into one of the more expensive ones because I knew it would probably work out fine. I pretty much knew when we moved in that we would have to move out because their pricing structure is on the high side. The staff goes out of their way to make everything work as best as they can no matter what's going on. They have some challenges. The facilities are generally good, but there are times when things are not cleaned up appropriately. With regards to services, even though we have not needed those services, I question how they do that. It doesn't seem like I would be comfortable accessing those services because they don't look like they're done consistently. The atmosphere is generally nice, and people are getting involved in activities, so it's a friendly atmosphere. They have quite a variety of rooms here, too. I will credit that you can get something as small as a studio and up to a two-bedroom deluxe."

"It is lovely. The apartments were nicer than any other place we had seen. The layout was very good. The bathrooms were very large with a lot of grab bars and safety features. Architecturally, this was the best place we saw. There are a lot of big windows, the ceilings are high, the hallways are wide and that makes a huge difference more than other things that people might be looking for. All the residents we talked to had wonderful things to say about this facility spontaneously which I thought was pretty interesting. Everybody looked pretty happy. The staff who helped us with the tour were excellent. They were well-informed, very understanding, and very interested in feedback and preferences. The dining area and the food were excellent. "

"I've only been living here in Connect55+ East Windsor for a month now. I signed up with them at least three years ago, before they even built it. There are a couple of things I really liked about it. One was that there was a washer and dryer in the apartment. They had crafts and stuff. They had numerous activities going on, and they had garages. I was able to move all of my stuff over to the garage. It's brand new and very clean."

"Cedar Woods was a clean, nice, and active place. The people that I met were very nice. The rooms were nice. The lunch I had was fine. The facility had been there for a while."

"The Quail Run Estates was the one that we liked best. However, it's primarily independent living, which was not a perfect fit for my daughter. They do allow physical therapists to come in who are funded by some other source. They had studio apartments and one-bedrooms and daily activities. The meals were served in the dining room every day. Everything was accessible, and the bathrooms had a tub that would be easier for a person with a disability to get into. The staff was very nice and knew the people by name. They allow dogs with certain limitations. They provide transportation. I just preferred something a little smaller than 150 people because it's easy to get lost in that number of people. "

"We went to Elmbrook Village. It was a limited contact, but everything was fabulous. It's a beautiful facility, and the people were good. It's one of the places that we're gonna consider as we go forward. It's on the list of possibilities. The rooms were beautiful. Everything was beautiful and brand new. It's an incredible facility. The staff was very helpful, polite, and accommodating. Everybody was good. They did some baked goods for my mother, and everything was great. The outdoor space was very nice."

"I chose here for Mom because of the price. There's nothing we don't like, it's very nice. It's very clean. They offer a lot of services. It was comparable to places that were much more expensive. The staff was very attentive and responded quickly. The food is good, and some are better than others. You order restaurant-style with some daily specials and then there's a regular menu they have every day. They have a salon, a library, and transportation."

"The care is excellent, and the staffs are excellent at Avery Heights. Everybody is caring and attentive. It is very clean and updated. My mom went to a nice music activity the other day that she really enjoyed. They do a lot of music therapy there. "
