"Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull seemed a little bit older. The hallways were a little bit narrower than the other facilities we had visited. The rooms were very nice. The programs they had were very good. The facility has woods surrounding it so there was less sunlight. It did not feel as open and bright as the other facilities we had been to. "

"My mom was in Spring Meadows, and she is very happy there. She moved in May and very comfortable. They are very friendly and welcoming. She is outgoing there. They do offer a lot of activities; they have bingo, movies, baking classes, and jewelry making. They have a lot of special holiday activities every afternoon. They meet in the common area and have a snack and something to drink, and everybody socializes. They have the Trumbull Youth Symphony Camp and entertainment in the courtyard. They have a lot of outside activities that she really is able to enjoy. They have exercise class, Wii bowling, and a lot of activities. She made friends. The dining room is beautiful, and everyone likes it. The staff is lovely, they know her name from day 1. A few times that she didn’t make it to dinner, they called to make sure she was OK. She has an efficiency room -- bedroom and living room accommodation. Out of the places I have seen and visited, I am really happy with what we found there. They do have a lot of outside activities also. They do take them to the ferry to Long Island go to restaurants for lunch or go shopping. She seems very happy, and that’s all I can ask for. "

"I saw Dogwood Home featured on Channel 12 News and I was very intrigued. Never had I heard of this concept, an actual home for seniors who have memory loss. When you arrive at the home, you pull up to a house in a lovely neighborhood, and that was our first impression of it feeling like a home. Once inside, the home was meticulously detailed for seniors; wide hallways, special sinks, showers that you walk into. My dad really loved the bedrooms with private bathrooms, and the idea of someone cooking and cleaning for him! I loved the way the caregivers were so warm, loving, kind, and the way they looked after the residents there. Very warm and inviting."

"Spring Village at Stratford was a pretty nice and a well-maintained community. It's multiple floors and a little bit bigger, but it's good. The staff was very professional and good too. It's close to the Merritt Parkway in Stratford, so it's convenient to the highway. The rooms looked nice, but the only complaint I had was they were shared rooms. There's only one bathroom for two residents, and most of the shared rooms don't have bedroom doors for each resident, so there's less privacy in there."

"We found Sunrise of Fairfield to be almost brand new. They have wonderfully helpful staff who are very willing to answer any questions. We are very impressed with their range of activities and the care that they are providing my mother-in-law. Her room is spacious. There's plenty of space, and there's easy access to the elevators and to all the other facilities. They have studios and two-bedrooms. My mother-in-law has a studio. For activities, they do bingo, and they'll bring the people to church. There's a hair salon, a puzzle club, a good library, and a walking club. In the spring they'll do a gardening thing for anybody who likes to garden. They have a lot of common spaces with TVs, and there's a place where they can all watch movies every night. They have dental services that comes in. There's a doctor that comes in and he's there twice a week."

"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!

"We moved Dad to Carriage Green at Milford on July 1. When I came down on the afternoon after I called for a schedule, it was all very good and I was very impressed. I liked the atmosphere and the staff. They have memory stuff, dancing, and music, which my father enjoys the most. They provide transportation to doctors' appointments, but he doesn’t take advantage of it. We had a family dinner for new residents that was very nice. It's an expensive place, but you get what you pay for. They do housekeeping for him, do his laundry, and provide him with personal care. The staff is very quick in responding to my dad's needs. The night people report what happened to Dad to the day time people and then they report that to my mom when she comes in the morning, so she's aware of everything."

"Sturges Ridge of Fairfield was excellent. The tour was great, and the staff was great. Because it's assisted living, they didn't have full kitchens in any of the apartments. They also didn't have a washer and dryer. You have to be willing to eat the food that they have. The washer-dryer was also a problem for my sister. She did not want to move into place without her own washer dryer. Other than that, it was quite a nice place. It's nice that it was in Fairfield and close to the downtown area. They have active social schedules where they take you on excursions. They also have a valet parking garage that hooks into an elevator right up to your floor. I think it makes it very easy for you if you still drive. The staff that toured us was very friendly, knowledgeable, answered our questions, and showed me everything that I wanted to see."

"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."

"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."

They had a little ice cream parlor and a place where they could get popcorn, in addition to regular dining. It was a well-maintained place. They had exercise classes as part of their activities, too."

"We visited Brookdale. The folks were very nice and accommodating. It was fairly good also. The rooms were very similar to the place where my aunt was. I didn't dine there, and the dining seemed a little smaller, but it was pretty clean. They had the same activities as the place my aunt was in. Everybody was very polite. They showed me the room. They answered all my questions. I would have moved my aunt there if I had to. "

"My father was part of the Maplewood Newtown community for the 5 years prior to his passing in fall 2019. The nursing staff, led by Barbara and Irene, was incredibly supportive and helpful as we navigated his dementia and health challenges. The entire staff, the aides, dining staff, maintenance, everyone was warm and welcoming. He made good friends with the other residents and was truly part of a community. We can’t thank everyone enough for all they did!"

"My mom moved to Maplewood at Strawberry Hill's memory care, and it's so nice. I liked everything, I just didn't like the price. The people are good and the facilities are nice, but it was getting pricey. They have different activities and memory care, the same things as every other community. The staff is very good and the food is very, very good. The room is very well-decorated, it's very nice like a hotel room. Their dining area is also like a hotel, it's like going into a nice restaurant."

"Maplewood at Stony Hill was beautiful. There really wasn't anything I didn't like about it. There was just one comment made by a staff member that sort of put me off. Although they have many levels of care, I didn't like that they would physically have to move from one level to another once they deteriorated. The place was absolutely beautiful, and the food was good. They sent us home with lunch and a pie. The place was very pretty. The staff we talked to was named Leslie. The facility was amazing. It's not brand new. It's been open for about six years, and it looks like it opened yesterday. They had a PT room (not so much a gym). They had a nice art studio and a beautiful salon. The dining rooms were very nice. They were set like you're going to a fancy restaurant. They had a beautiful outdoor space."

"Over the past few months, I toured numerous retirement communities within 2o miles of Pomperaug Woods with my dad as he started to consider the idea of moving from his condo after the loss of my mom. Some were just rental communities but more were with the financial arrangement of Pomperaug where there is a "buy in" that you get mostly back when you leave the apartment. The monthly rent at Pomperaug was very affordable and even after we calculated the money we had to put down, it was more financially feasible in the long run to go this route than paying 5-7K/mth or more at the others. After the tours, lunches (food varied widely), meeting residents on the visits, looking at apartment floor plans, amenities, and looking closely at the financial end, we selected Pomperaug. Our dad is late 80's, active, healthy, loves playing bridge, socializing, still drives, and by far he felt most "at home" at Pomperaug. We were able to fit all his favorite furniture in his one bdrm "Putnam" including his drop leaf table, living room set, entertainement center, and in the bedroom, bed, two dressers, bedside table, and his desk comfortably. The apt has a walk in closet which they double racked for him, a stackable washer dryer, and beautiful kitchen, it is a terrific apartment! The welcoming committee has already been up to meet him, the staff has been incredible and made the move seamless, the food is great, and we all agree we made the right choice. I live in Michigan but have already planned a visit in July because I want to hang out there and meet my dads new friends! Pomperaug Woods is a gem."

"Reaching the decision to place mom in memory care was emotionally challenging. We chose Maplewood at Danbury because of their expert staff, beautiful facility, and most importantly, their empathetic staff. Jennifer did an amazing job with guiding us through the process and introducing us to Maplewood’s directors. Jennifer listened to our concerns and gave sound, caring advice. In my heart, I know we made the best choice for mom and our family. "

The town of Trumbull, Connecticut is located in Fairfield County on the Long Island Sound, just 50 miles northeast of New York City. Roughly 18.5 percent of the town's 36,000 residents are aged 65 and older, and in the state of Connecticut alone, over 75,000 seniors have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. To serve this growing segment of the population, there are a total of 16 memory care facilities, known in Connecticut as Alzheimer's special care units (SCUs) or programs, in Trumbull and nearby communities across the Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk metropolitan area. As required by the state's Department of Public Health, these facilities are all specially licensed to provide specialized care or services for people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
The New England area is known for being safe and secure, making it an appealing choice for seniors living on their own in a memory care facility. On a scale from one to 100, with 100 being high crime, Trumball scores a 25.2 in terms of violent crime and 23.1 for property crime. In fact, the Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk metropolitan area is ranked number two as the best medium-sized cities for crime in America, second only to the neighboring area of Danbury, Connecticut.
The overall air quality in Trumbull only receives a 63 out of a possible 100, and according to the American Lung Association, the area has a high amount of ozone pollution, scoring an F rating. This may be a concern for seniors with respiratory conditions.
Just a short drive from Trumball, Bridgeport is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as the Bridgeport Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. The facility has received national recognition for its work in geriatrics, specifically in providing specialized care for seniors with behavioral and cognitive disabilities, and in 2018, its Geriatric and Palliative Care team was given the International Empathy Amplified Award.
Trumbull-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in Connecticut are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Connecticut page for more information about these laws.
