"It was very beautiful and welcoming when you came in. They had very nice people. I especially liked them because of the clients. They kept stopping me as we were touring and said that they loved living there. They said, “Oh, this is a wonderful place. Come live here.” "

"I cannot say enough positive words about this place. My dad moved in about a year ago. All the staff are very kind, including the wait staff at meals. The entire place is extremely clean. The food is excellent. They also went out of their way to assure resident safety during our Covid epidemic. This is a very caring and loving community. I highly recommend. The transportation service gives our family piece of mind. They even take my dad to church. My dad is in the drama club and enjoys playing Wheel of Fortune. He gets his hair cut and has physical therapy in the same building. If they drive there is a Stop and Shop and Target a mile away. I stay overnight when I visit and the staff are very kind to me as well. There are many activities we hope he begins to participate in including the monthly Friday night group that goes out to dinner. His apartment is spacious, set up very well, clean (which they do including washing bedding and towels). I find his place comfortable and love the balcony as well. He has access to a washer/dryer and there is a nice common sitting area just outside his place. I find the common sitting areas comfortable, cozy and clean, including the dining area. "

"I went to Brookdale South Windsor the week before. The mother of my first wife was there before. The staff was good. The place was clean, but the cost was just too expensive. It was neat. The staff was good. They showed me the library and the movie theater, where they had recreation."

"Buckingham Heights was only dedicated exclusively to memory care so that they can address every need at every stage, whatever happens to your loved one who's got dementia. Suzanne assisted us with the tour and she was wonderful. She's been there a long time and can answer any question you have. The other shining star thing that I would say about the place was that they had a lot of staff who have been there for many years. They have relatively low turnover and there is a lot of staff. They have like a 5-year, 15-year, and 20-year club for those staff who have been there that long. The dining area looked very nice. The rooms were basic but pleasant. The idea there was not to spend all your time in your room. So, the room was just a place to dress and bathe and sleep. But the life of the place was based on keeping the residents engaged and active. When it comes to the activities, they are appropriate for people with memory issues. They have an inner courtyard that is freely available for residents to go into on their own. For the outside patios, you need to have somebody with you. Even their physical facilities were designed to give the most freedom and autonomy to their residents."

"Old Glory Days was wonderful. It was beautiful. It was very clean. I liked it because it was open. I didn't like it because there were a lot of stairs. They were very expensive, too. The staff was very down-to-earth and neat. It's a converted old house. I wouldn't recommend it unless you lived in town, and if you had a lot of money and you were by yourself. I don't think it was good for a couple. It was very well put together. It was nicely painted inside."

"My mother-in-law is at The Cottage at Litchfield Hills. It's not a really large facility. They have enough space, but it's very close knit. Everybody that's worked there has worked there for a while. Everybody gets to know everybody and they keep everybody active and engaged. They're always checking up on everybody. She's always being checked up on. If she needs something, they always go down and make sure she's going to come to lunch and dinner, and if she doesn't feel like going down, they will bring dinner to her. They're always very friendly. There are never any complaints from the staff. It gives you more of a home feel. She's treated like she's at home instead of in a facility. We're not allowed to eat there because of COVID right now. They have a very strict policy. When you walk in, you have to get screened after screening questions, you get your temperature taken, your mask has to be placed on, and hands sanitized. They make sure before you step in the door that you have everything in place before you greet anybody in the building. It's very nice because at least I know that everybody's going through the same thing to get in the door. She's very happy with the food. The food is excellent, and there's enough variety. They change it up. It's a menu style, so she gets to pick and choose. She used to be a habitual snacker, now she hasn't snacked at all. She's very satisfied with her three meals a day. They always have something going on. They have movies, craft day, bingo, and they have a salon inside the place, so that makes it nice and convenient. They can go on bus tours where they take you for a scenic drive. Because of COVID, they don't let you off the bus right now, but at least they can get you out of the facility, and they drive you around to different locations and they give you a little history tour and whatnot. There's always something going on and they have snack time or whatever they deem in the afternoon. The staff is excellent. They always greet you. If you need something, they come right down to you. You call somebody and they'll get somebody right over for you. When the light bulb was out, a guy came right down and fixed it in like ten minutes. You're not waiting for anything. They're very attentive. She's been talking about her meals quite a bit. It's very beautiful there. They have enough stuff going on. You do have your downtime, but you can always be active."

"I highly recommend All American Assisted Living at Enfield. My aunt is currently staying in their assisted living facility for respite care. It's very clean and all the people who work there are very friendly and accommodating. I like how they have nurses there, and a doctor comes in, I think, once a week. The food is really good, and they have a nice way of doing meals. You sit at your table, your menu is in front of you with your name on it, and you get to pick what you want, and they bring it to you. My aunt's also eating, which is great because she lost a lot of weight, and is forgetting to eat, so I like it. I've also eaten there a few times. One day, I was there for lunch, and it was a chicken pot pie. The biscuit was on top, so you didn't have to cut through a crust, and it was very easy to eat. I sat with two women who were in their 80s and 90s, and they were able to just use their fork and not have to worry about a knife. The food was fresh and healthy, and really good. There was steamed fresh broccoli for the vegetable, and then for dessert, it was ice cream. It's very welcoming, and just a really good place to stay that is above average. The staff members are right there checking on people, so I have been able to sleep well since my aunt has been in. Anytime you ask them a question and need anything, they're right there and they take care of it for you with a smile. When we needed something, we went and told the desk, and they got the maintenance man to go in and take care of it. I don't really think they have enough activities, though. I had gone to another facility that had all kinds of really good stuff. I noticed that people are creating their own entertainment. Like, there's a group of people that go watch a movie in a certain location, or they make their own group to play cards together. I don't think there are enough activity instructors or directors, so to speak. I also think it's a little overpriced."

"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."
