I would recommend The Village at South Farms to others looking.

Brookdale Gables Farmington
4.0

They have a nice location, it is a bigger more active community. Care has been good, wish they offer a bit more of a personal touch, encourage my dad a bit more to do things and offer events that include the families. But my dad likes to keep to himself so....Overall we r happy with this community.
