Memory Care Communities in West Hartford, CT

"My brother-in-law has moved into The Atrium at Rocky Hill. It is very clean and very nice. As far as we can tell, the people are wonderful. My brother-in-law has dementia, but he still has a lot of good memories, so he has difficulty finding someone to converse with. Other than that, there's really been no big problems. I think they're doing a good job. Every time we ask questions, the staff members have been very helpful, and they're always smiling. I have no complaints about any of them. They have plenty of activities, but my brother-in-law doesn't want to participate. He went to a festival at one of their places, and he seemed to enjoy that. The cost is reasonable."

"I picked Addison Place at Glastonbury for my brother because their prices are all-inclusive. They don't have a transitional program, but they have programs that are therapy based for cognitive therapy, which is something my brother needs. Their room sizes are very good and very decent. The knowledge of the director that I spoke to is phenomenal, and you don't see that everywhere. I thought they were very good. It was all-inclusive with their price. They don't upcharge for any other fees like they know that my brother is a diabetic and they know that he needs medication. Their amenities are the same as with the other place. The only thing that I felt was a negative to them was the size of their dining. It is very, very small. They only have 18 rooms, so they only have 18 clients, so it's a very small area. Their rooms are very spread out, too. They go down two different hallways, but the area that is in the center of those is the dining area/social area, and it is very cavernous and very small. They have benches and seats and places for people to sit, but those are just sitting areas. They're not areas where they do cognitive training or anything on the clients. "

"A residential option for seniors is all that we require once they become old. Doing activities like going to bathrooms, cooking, dressing and showering etc can be undertaken very easily in assisted living. I visited this facility to let my father live a peaceful life. I found it nice, safe and secure for 24 hours. Medical facility is available in close vicinity. The residents enjoy all kind of luxuries at reasonable rates. The facility is quite cheap and does not cost extra burden. Good quality food is available as desired by the residents. Routine is quite attractive and every effort is made by the management to let everyone form part of this home. Residents can contact their siblings and enjoy the facility of transportation for going anywhere. I liked the facility being neat and tidy. It has been experienced that most of the people get settled fairly quickly in this particular facility. Still, if some one feels lonely, staff on duty provides a warm and friendly gesture. Surely, it is a nice place to stay "

"Our experience with Stonebrook Village at Windsor Locks has been very good. I love it. Everybody is grea, the place is terrific, and they've got activities going on every day. The rooms are very nice and very clean. My wife has a perfect little apartment. The food is great, and the value is good because everything is included."

"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."

"All American Assisted Living looked like it would be a very nice place. It was just a little bit expensive. They've got all the conveniences there. They have their own medical staff and your personal grooming is all taken care of right there. The rooms were very nice. They were fairly roomy. Their dining area was very clean and spacious. The staff was very informative. The building is approximately two years old."

"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."

"The Atrium at Cardinal Drive is a beautiful place and the staff members are all very nice and friendly. I had a very good impression of the place, but it's too far away from my dad's house. I saw a room there, it was very clean, and very nice. It wasn't huge, but it's what what my mom would have needed. The appearance of the place was bright, clean, and modern. The staff member who gave the tour was very kind and really helpful."

"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."

"We went to Commonwealth Senior Living at Haddam. It was very good. The facility itself was beautiful. It was spotless and well-staffed. The people that we met were all very, very nice. The units were very, very nice. We looked at a studio and a single room and they were actually really, really nice. They got everything you would need."

"I toured and I liked it a lot. I liked the programs that they had to keep the seniors busy for assisted living. I also liked the apartments that they had. There was the efficiency, the one-bedroom apartment, and the two-bedroom apartment. They were all very updated. They were lovely, lovely apartments. I never saw any assisted living rooms that were actually as nice as these. The staff was very friendly. I met them, and I met the chef that prepared the meals. He was very nice, and he shared menus with me. The menus looked really good, so I liked all of that. They had another room for socializing. They had a popcorn machine in there and different things that they would have during social hours. I liked all of that."
