Recent reviews of Assisted Living in New Haven, CT
The Village at South Farms in Middletown, CT
4.6

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

The Watermark at 3030 Park, a CCRC in Bridgeport, CT
5.0

My mom moved into assisted living at the Watermark after nearly 60 years living in her home, the last 36 years by herself. While it was a major life event for my mom, the Watermark made it an exceptionally smooth transition. They arranged and paid for the move, the movers were efficient and professional, the Watermark's Community Coordinator did an amazing job setting up all her belongings in her new apartment, and the staff all came to greet and welcome her. The rooms are also much more spacious than other places we visited in the area. Mom has settled in nicely and is getting very good care; exactly what she needed. She is taking part in activities and seems to be happy there. If I have one regret, is that she didn't make the move sooner.

Ocean Meadow Memory Care in Clinton, CT
5.0

They have been great. It is a smaller facility so it feels much homier. The staff seems to be very in tune with all of the residents there. They get really personalized care, we really could not be happier. I looked at 4 different places and this one was by far the best and the least the expensive. It has been the perfect fit and I would highly recommend Ocean Meadow to other families looking.
