The Best Memory Care Communities in New Haven County, CT

"Charter Senior Living of Orange is absolutely beautiful. It has plenty of options for what kind of room, how much care you need, and how big a place you need. However, it was a little over the budget at the time, with what Mom wanted to spend or what she was expecting, so it was a bit of a sticker shock, and so Mom kind of got cold feet with the whole thing. The people who were running the tour were great. They were fine. They did a great job. They showed us everything we needed to see and told us everything we needed to find out. The place was only a couple of years old; it was just a great place."

"I visited The Village at Mariner's Point, and I thought it was great. I liked the place, the staff, the variety of rooms, and the location. They had a swimming pool, a library, a theater room, a nice dining area, a lobby that had a piano, a nice view of the water, a salon for haircuts, a bar, and an exercise room. She would be independent, and she would get services for help with medications and bathing."

"We went to The Village at Kensington Place. Overall, it's a very nice place. They have everything. They have nursing staff, they administer medications, and they have someone clean the rooms once a week. In the memory care section, there are no kitchens in their apartments. Some of them have few cabinets, a refrigerator, and a microwave. Others don't even have that. So, the patient has to leave the room to get anything they want. There's a small kitchenette with snacks, coffee and other drinks they can help themselves to whatever they want. There are lots of activities that challenge memory. They have snack areas where they can just grab a snack, sit down and enjoy it. I looked at both memory care and assisted living. With assisted living, they have a small kitchen but no stoves. They don't want anyone cooking in the room. They have a microwave oven, a refrigerator, and a couple of cabinets, and that's it. The staff who toured me was very cordial, professional, listened to your concern. They're good listeners. They listen to their customer's requirements, and they'll show you what's available to help. They're all very good. The facility was spotless. There is no dust on the railings or anything. It's just beautiful and perfect. They have a nice yard in the back that is fenced in. They have long furniture and picnic tables. There's a walkway so you can take a walk around, you can take a ride in a wheelchair or use a walker. You can walk and go around the backyard."

"Long Hill Home is a beautiful, clean and warm place to call home. Management and members of staff are very friendly and professional, they make your visit very pleasant and of course they ask you to stay to enjoy a meal with them! They’re very hospitable. The rooms are all en-suite, clean and modern bathrooms with walk in showers. The environment and the view outside is so calming and serene! It is a beautiful home indeed!"

"Just Like Home's Dogwood Home was in a rural area. The rooms were spectacular and they had a walk-in shower. The residents were taken out of their rooms to an exercise room and they all looked showered. It's just like being in a home. It was beautiful. There's a nurse and two other helpers for the memory care residents. They have a barber/salon for them to get their hair cut, a woman that comes in and does exercises in the big community room, and televisions in their rooms as well as in the front living room and the exercise room."

"The food was amazing , I stayed after knee surgery . My room was large clean and the aides were always there when I rang my bell . I would definitely recommend Pomperaug Woods to friends and family if they needed any type of rehabilitation ."

"Very professional staff- beautiful facilities - great care for my mom- "

"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."

"I'm living in Spring Meadows Trumbull and I love it here. I'm doing workouts and I'm into arts and crafts. I also play games, and I'm doing workouts with Keith, who is one of the physical therapy guys. They offer three meals a day and the food is very good. The staff is very nice and helpful."

"Maplewood was excellent. They had lots of different activities. A bus was just getting back; they’ve gone out to lunch, and they had someone coming in with a therapy dog. They had a regular children’s program so the older people get exposed to see cute kids singing. I was impressed with the staff; they were interacting with the residents, and everybody seemed to know the residents’ names. The location was good, and it was easy to find parking. It feels personal, small, and like a family. I saw them doing some brain games. "

"My aunt is in The Atrium at Rocky Hill and it's been an excellent experience. It's neat and clean, they're caring, kind, and very nice, that's why we picked it. The rooms were very neat, very clean, tidy, and secure. The dining area is restaurant style. There's a garden and they have different activities every half hour of the day, which are voluntary. The residents are not forced to go. The staff is very cooperative and caring."

"I heard about Maplewood from a Caring representative. It’s brand new and absolutely beautiful. The dining room was exquisite, and the food looked very good for the patients. The grounds are beautiful and had beautiful surroundings. The people were wonderful to talk to. "

"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. "
