7 Assisted Living Communities in Farmington, Connecticut

I visited Brookdale Farmington two years ago, and they had a nice price range. Not all the rooms were up to par, however. They were older, and the building itself was very old. The setting where it was located was absolutely beautiful. It's a very nice area. The food was OK, but it wasn't great. The staff who accommodated me was terrific. The thing that got me was the age of the place. Everything was just old and needed updating. It was clean, but old. It was homey though. I have to say they did their best to make it look like a home. They had nice sitting areas and those things were very nice.

Village Gate of Farmington was lovely. As a matter of fact, I have picked out a place there and put money down because I really liked it that much. I had to renege on that deal, but I really liked that place, that's why I put my money down. I was going to settle there. The food wasn't great though, that's the only area of that tour that I wasn't very keen on. The facility was clean and inviting, and they tried to make it look homey.

We put my brother in Village Gate of Farmington for a month and he kind of didn't want to stay so he went back home. He's doing much better now. It's an independent living facility but we paid for medication, checks and extra services. He was on quarantine so I didn't see him for the first 2 weeks. The place was very nice and everybody was so friendly. It's clean but my brother didn't like a lot of the food. It was a nice environment and a nice apartment. While he was in quarantine he stayed in one of the extra suites they have. Then they had painted the apartment so everything was nice and clean and fresh. It was a decent 1-bedroom apartment. They had some activities that they were trying to do. They had some exercise classes so they can bring everybody out.

My mother was in Brookdale Farmington. She was very happy there. We liked the staff and they liked her, the place was clean, and we were happy. She had a private one-bedroom apartment, but they also had two bedrooms available. They had fitness, yoga, movies, games, card games, and puzzles, they had entertainment come in like singers, piano players, and during the holidays they had something special. They had buses that went out, they had a lunch bunch, and they would go to the casino, but my mother did not participate in that.

My experience at Village Gate of Farmington was good, and I liked it. I liked the fact that they had larger apartments. The overall sense of the place was very nice. The rooms were very nice, spacious, and had full kitchens which I like. They offered anything from excursions, to games, to clubs, and pretty much everything everyone else offers. They had in-house physical therapists. They had a dining room. The staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had our questions answered.

Village Gate of Farmington seems to be very satisfactory. My father-in-law's room is more than adequate and he seems to be quite content with it. They serve three meals a day.

My mother has been in Village Gate of Farmington, and everything has been great. They gave her an ambassador to get her acquainted for the first week, and they would pick her up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They are very pleasant around her and everybody has been friendly, including the staff in general. It's been a good experience so far. My mother has the beginning of dementia and it has been difficult for her at times, but she's been adjusting pretty well considering the circumstances. I only have good stuff to say about them. She went to bingo today for the first time, and they have general activities including walking. Dinners and meals have been good, and she likes them a lot.

I had a very wonderful time at Village Gate of Farmington. It's a very unique and wonderful independent living facility. The building and the amenities were fabulous. The people were extremely friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my two tours and I had lunch there. The food was exceptional. I have nothing bad to say about the place. It's a wonderful place to live. I enjoyed all the various types of programs they have available. I enjoyed the layout of the entire property and the beautiful apartment that they showed me. Their ability to have caregivers on-site 24-hours a day was an exceptional program. It's just phenomenal. They have crafts, exercises, physical therapists who come in, a doctor who comes in regularly, rooms for social gatherings, a big independent hall for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and an entertainment room. The food was exceptional. They were willing to work out issues regarding financing.
