The Best Memory Care Communities in Hartford County, CT

"They keep mom healthy, busy, and stimulated. They respond to our discussions. Glad we came here. "

"It was a much bigger place and was more geared towards the younger folks that didn't need much assistance. At least that's what I got out of it. If you're younger, then it would suit you very well. It is large and a little bit intimidating. The staff members were very good. They were attentive and they answered our questions. We saw the dining area, which was very nice. We also talked to the chef; he was nice as well. They had a lot of great activities. They're more higher end activities and geared towards younger more mobile and more active folks. It was a really nice place but it was different. It was also huge."

"Brookdale South Windsor was very nice and very clean and had a very friendly staff. The rooms were very nice and very adequate. "

"We went to The Village at Buckland Court. My impression of the place was very good and very well-run. I'm very impressed with the director and her dog. Her dog just about won us over. We love the place. They have beautiful, beautiful common areas and huge, open, spacious hallways. The place was designed to be very conducive for people to hang out together in the common areas, in the halls, in the big rooms downstairs, huge grand rooms with couches and pianos. It's absolutely beautiful the way they did it. What I didn't like were the rooms. The apartments were not as nice as the other facility. They didn't even offer kitchen cabinets or counters. It was a well-run, beautiful place. However, the rooms were small and too basic. The staff who welcomed us was outstanding. She was extremely personable. She did a great job. She had her dog with her that we fell in love with. They encouraged dogs there and that people bring their dogs to come in and visit. We're all huge dog people, so she wanted us over there. She had a great personality, very welcoming, so much so that we were practically sold on the place even though we knew my mother wouldn't want it."

"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."

"Stone Brook is a beautiful place! We have been very impressed with the apartments, the dining room and meals as well as the wonderful staff and employees! We especially would like to compliment the manner in which Stone Brook has managed to maintain excellent communication with families and care of the residents during the COVID 19 pandemic. As a Nurse and Daughter, I cannot say enough about the care and consideration Stone Brook has taken to ensure the health and safety of everyone who lives there. I would highly recommend Stone Brook to those who are looking. "

"The Village at Kensington Place is affordable. We looked at the one-bedroom, the expanded one-bedroom, and the two-bedroom. It was a very clean facility. They have excellent food. The introduction was outstanding. They had freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, coffee, and tea. They took us on a tour of what my mom was interested in. It was very nice, and we liked it a lot. They have different levels of care. The staff was very friendly. They had no COVID-related death. It's in a very secure location and a nicely wooded area. It's within walking distance of the mall. It's conveniently located for us, and she likes that. They still do your laundry and serve you the food. Another great part about it is it's walking distance from the hospital in Meriden. They could use new carpeting. The carpet in the halls was a little worn and was not pristine. We got the cheapest option we could for my mom as far as the level of care. It's pretty standard that they offer the laundry, the housekeeping, and the food. They also take cats."

"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 offers 24-hour nursing care. I probably would have opted to go with this facility, because it's closer to us, but they didn't have any availability when we visited. We toured the memory care area and they were very kind, understanding, empathetic, and very welcoming. It was well-kept and very clean."

"We thought that The Atrium at Cardinal Drive was wonderful. The only reason we did not choose them for my mother-in-law is because of the cost. We cannot afford the kind of care that they offer. We wanted to choose them because they were more local to us, and it would have been a much better solution. I loved the things that were offered there. In fact, they do offer support groups on the first Tuesday every month. Everybody was very pleasant. I think the support from the woman who was the director that we met with, Alana, is what I liked best. She taught us a lot of different things about Alzheimer's and ways to handle them. "

"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."
