Memory Care Communities in Southbury, CT

"My former husband is a resident of Maplewood at Stony Hill. The place is lovely. The people are great. A couple of times he tried to get out of bed himself, and he ended up on the floor, but they call me every time he does, and he's not getting hurt. The staff is very nice and very kind. They're all good. The food is nicely prepared. In the summer when it's nice weather, he goes outside. They have a lovely patio, but they also have grounds. It's just really a nice place. I have no complaints about the place other than the fact that he was having to pay extra, and they don't take Medicare. These people do a nice job on the food. Unfortunately, my former husband is on pureed food, but that's okay. It's kind of cute because what they do is they make it look kind of like what it's supposed to be, in the right shape and stuff like that. This place has been top-notch. This place is lovely. They're just trying to keep them occupied and try different things. They have an arts and crafts room, and another room to play games and stuff."

"I visited The Village at Brookfield Commons' memory care. It's pretty much the same as independent living except that wing is locked down. You have to furnish the rooms, though. The staff member was a nice gentleman. He was very good. They invited us to a luau, and they sent food home with us. It was party food, and it was pretty good. The facility looked very nice. It was clean, and it didn't look like it had a big ground. It's kind of like in an executive park."

"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 went to Just Like Home's Dogwood Home. It was just like home. It's small and intimate. We walked in and there was an activity going on in the living room and it looked like there was a family there. All the residents knew each other. They were very caring and kind and I was extremely impressed. The residents were very involved, and they all seemed content and happy. It just was awesome. There were about eight residents and they all had their own room and their own bath, and all the bathrooms were wheelchair roll-in. You didn't have to step over anything to get into them. You could just get wheeled in with your wheelchair. The staff was pleasant and seemed extremely nice. When I walked in, they were having a Bible study or something, but they were all engaged and happy. They had a living room and there was a backroom to visit with family or something like that, but it seemed like they do most of the activities right there in the living room. The building was excellent. The food looked good. It's all homemade."

"I loved Maplewood at Danbury, and I wanted to place my mother there. I love the people, the setting, the programs, and I thought it would be excellent. The staff interacted with the clients and with the other staff. The staff had the ability to do their jobs, and they were compassionate and caring in dealing with the residents. I really like the rooms. Also, the food is farm to table; it’s excellent, and we had an amazing lunch there. They had a lot of dining options that I was impressed with. "

"I love the Spring Meadows by Monarch. It was clean and bright. The decor was amazing. They had that soothing blue. And the residents that we passed by were really pleasant. They were all so very happy. The room itself was just amazing. It was a perfect fit for what I was looking for. The sales manager was extremely nice and very informative in terms of the community, especially the activities that are offered. It was nice. The receptionist was amazing, and the nurses that walked by were very well-mannered and very pleasant."

"The name of the establishment says it all. Just Like Home! I am so happy with the wonderful staff the accommodations for my mother.The ratio of residents to aids is small and you get to know all the residents and their family members . I feel that the staff that takes care of the residents do a wonderful job. My loved one is well taken care of and is not just a number. The Atmosphere inside and outside the home is peaceful and they bring in entertainment and music to stimulate the residents. I Love that I can have a few laughs with everyone and enjoy their company.It is so nice that you really feel part of this great organization. I know how hard it was to take care of my mom , and I feel so blessed that my concerns for my Mom have been addressed and they are willing and open to discuss your needs. I originally had my loved one in a much larger Memory care facility and I am so Grateful that this wonderful facility exists. Also the food is healthy and delicious and my mothers hygiene has never been better. I know how hard everyone works to make this a Loving and Caring home . Absolutely Amazing. What a beautiful gift for your Loved one. I am able to visit and see the Joy my mom expresses with Gods Angels that watch out for all the residents and each other! Anyhow see for yourself! You won’t be disappointed “"

"I went to Maplewood at Southport. I think that was the most beautiful facility that I went to, it's the most modern, a lot of the activities they had been up to date like they provide them, Alexa, for all the different people in the community. They had virtual travel with VR technology. It had a nice courtyard area, and all the rooms were very nice also. The staff was great, and they gave me something to take to go."

"I saw a friend from church at Maplewood at Strawberry Hill and he liked the food there (he was a guy who liked to eat). It was a very nice place. The environment was very beautifully appointed with all the colors and large windows. My friend's apartment was very small. It was a studio size. He said he didn't need to have more than one room because he'd just go in there to sleep. He had a chair in the room, but it was very tight. He had a twin bed. The bathroom was built to accommodate people who had problems walking or standing in the shower. It was kept clean. It was a very wonderful environment. I didn't interact with the staff, but my friend said he liked them. They have a big room where everybody watches television with all the wheelchairs, and people are sitting around. The TV was huge. There was no other activity."

"The facility was beautiful. Their rooms were spacious and clean. They had lots of activities. They had a bowling lane. They had a golf-putting green. They had trips. They had concerts. "

"Bishop Wicke was a nice place and I liked that it was all in one floor. You walk in and it feels like you’re walking into little apartments. The location though was not good for my dad. "

"My mom is in Bridges by EPOCH at Trumbull. It's all excellent. We were very impressed. It's very clean. They have a lot of programs that deal with memory care. The food is excellent. I give it two thumbs up. My mom likes listening to music. She's got dementia very badly, so that is pretty much what she does there. Her room is very nice and very clean. She has a room for a bed and some other furniture. There's a big closet, a sink, and a bathroom in there. They baked us an apple pie after we went to visit, and that was very good. But they will prepare anything she wants. If she likes blueberries, they'll go get her blueberries. They're very accommodating. We have had no issues. Their activities are geared toward people with memory loss. The value for money is comparable to everywhere else, but I think it's too much."
