Independent Living Community in Rocky Hill, Connecticut

My mother moved in 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.

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.

My mom has been staying at The Lodge at Cold Springs for three or four years, and we like it. They have very helpful and responsive staff. My mom is happy there, and they have physical things to do. You can take outings once a week, and they will transport you to different places like doctors' visits or shopping. They also offer three meals a day.

My mom has moved into Lodge at Cold Spring. She has an independent efficiency apartment. I highly recommend the place. They have very good staff who look out for their clients. They provide wonderful meals and have nursing services available a la carte. It is a very good deal. The location is fine off the highway. The grounds are pleasant enough. They have a small gazebo in the front and a small sitting patio. Some of the apartments have small balconies. They have a wonderful dining room, a library, and a small chapel. It is very well appointed with furniture. My mom participates in bingo, which is the best thing. They also have movie night, memory games during the day, a cake decorating activity, and all sorts of crafts. The staff members are very attentive and wonderful. The only problem that I have is that it is an independent apartment building, and you have to realize that there isn't any staff in the evening. Once they leave at 7:30 p.m., you can't get a hold of anybody until the morning. Nevertheless, residents have buttons to press if there is an emergency. The food is excellent.

Lodge at Cold Spring is about a mile and a half from where I live and easy to find. The place itself was OK. The presentation of what they did there was good, interesting, fun, and useful. They have approached me more recently with a special offer and have kept in touch with me, which is good. They have a program of some events. I was particularly delighted with being able to have lunch there and ate with two new tenants, both males, so it gave me an idea of who I might have as friends when I go there. That was very good and very helpful. The food was good.
