Assisted Living Community in Hartford County, Connecticut

White Oaks is very nice. The staff is wonderful and I talked to my mom about it. It's a little above her price range, but I have no complaints at all. I think it's a wonderful facility. The rooms were very nice. I saw a 1-bedroom and a studio. The only thing that I think would be a concern for my mom is that there was no laundry facility in the apartment itself, but they were very well-maintained and kept. It's a great place. They have a lot of different things. It's set up a lot differently than they usually have it set up due to COVID, but the amenities were great and they have activities indoors and outdoors, depending on the weather.

My mother moved into Atria Greenridge Place last week on March 4th. The staff is very friendly; from the people at the front entrance to the people that came in and took care of my mother. They're very friendly and kind. It's a beautiful and attractive facility. The lobby is beautiful, the rooms are beautiful, and my mom has a lovely room overlooking the courtyard. The halls and the rooms are extremely clean. I've seen the meals being delivered to my mom and they were appetizing. She's been to the dining room twice and she has enjoyed the food too. Of all the places I looked at, they were the best.

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.

Brookdale Chatfield hires the best staff. They are very, very helpful and very easy to get along with. We get breakfast and dinner, and they are very good. When we were confined in our rooms because of COVID, they delivered the meals right to our doors. They also have nice entertainment when the rooms are open for entertainment. They are nice and lovely people. The residents here are also very nice. They make sure everybody gets along, and the staff is just magnificent.

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 went to Brookdale Chatfield. I liked this place very much, we were very well received, they were courteous, the place was clean, the staff was friendly, and the place was warming. We visited a couple of bedrooms, and I think we visited a studio. The one-bedrooms had a stove in it, a good size refrigerator, and even a microwave. They had a nice layout, I liked it a lot, and of the four places we visited, this would be my favorite from the price view, the services they gave, and the accommodations they provided. It was pleasant. We are only a couple of miles away, the proximity is a lot more convenient to the other three places we saw, and this is a lot more familiar to my sister-in-law.

We went to the Lodge at Cold Spring. It was very nice, they all greeted us very nice. I met some of the workers there, actually one worker came up, just introduced themself and said, "Hello, how are you?" The rooms were nice, the place was OK, and they had a stove, a good size refrigerator, and a good size room. The staff was gracious.

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.
