Farmington Station, A Senior Living Residence

I would rate everything a 5 except the food/dining as a 4. Mom was OK with the food, just not overjoyed.Having been a nurse for over 40 years, she always had a critical eye for the care she received. She praised far more staff than she complained about. The facilities were always well kept. While she didn't participate in many of the activities, we, her sons, appreciated knowing they were there.

With regard to #8, value for the money... It is tragic that providing quality care for aging and frail parents in their time of need comes down to how much remains of their savings. My mom is very apt to outlive her savings that have afforded her current living situation and we worry and dread that likely next move. It will be terribly disruptive for my mom, after several years of disruption. The cost of long term care is astronomical and adds significant stress for the caring family to an already tragic diagnosis. I am grateful for the financial resources we have available to my Mom but am sad for those many people who do not have such access in their time of need. The day-to-day care and professional staff appear to be very well trained in communicating with and supporting their memory care residents' needs. The staff seem to know each resident; are patient, respectful, attentive, and caring to their residents' individual needs.

Beautiful well-maintained facilities and grounds. Friendly staff that are eager to make your stay comfortable. Price has increased nine percent in each of the last two years which will draw down savings more quickly forcing a move to skilled nursing facility. Connecticut does not fund assisted living facilities even though they are substantially cheaper than snf's.

The food is very good the staff is premium level of caring they go above and beyond to make sure their residents feel like home and try to create a family culture.

Great building, food, activities - residents have to advocate for themselves a bit more than I thought they would

I would recommend they include Farmington Station in the places they look at. We are using it for respite care. A driver for us to go there was that they do not have minimum stay requirements for respite care. Most other places we talked to do. Also there cost is reasonable in comparison.

When it comes to the activities, the list looks good, but it is too early to say if my mom has had a good experience with them yet. Only thought here is that my mom and I wish there was a more formal orientation during that first week, other than that it has been great so far! Based on the experience we have had so far, we would 100% recommend Farmington Station to other families

Recreation and interaction with the residents is outstanding. Interaction with family is excellent. Facility is beautiful. Possibly provide more outtings would be an improvement. Staff, including administrators are super nice, caring and welcoming, to the residents as well as their families.

The Farmington Station has been one of the best decisions my family and I made for my elderly Dad. He's [Age Removed] and no longer isolated living home alone. The entire staff is kind and made him feel at home the minute he walked in. The meals served in the dining room are top notch with daily lunch and dinner specials as well as the regular menu. The staff checks on him often and escorts him to the dining room and any activities he wants to participate in during the day. The entire facility is clean and feels just like home.

The Staff are wonderful and very accommodating to all of my mothers needs.The administration process was simple and the staff answered all of are questions in detail.I would highly recommend Farmington Station to anyone who is searching for a assisted living facility for a loved one.

We are very happy with the care our dad is receiving. He commented the other day that the staff feel like family. They all know and I understand him and how to help support his quality of life despite his developing dementia. The food is homemade with fresh vegetables including the daily soup of the day. Although, what he is going through is frustrating for him he is happy there.

I moved from another community to Farmington Station. People are very caring, accommodating and they watch out for you. There is a great variety of foods to satisfy me, and most of all a real feeling of safety.

Farmington Station impressed me right from the start and has not stopped since! I met with [name removed] in August and he shared what the programs were, introduced me to staff members and showed me a variety of apartment floor plans. I had toured and interviewed several other assisted living locations but there was something about Farmington Station that just felt right. Mom moved in mid September and after a couple of weeks of getting adjusted and used to new surrounding she settled right in. She now even has her own favorite spot downstairs in the main area where she can sit and "people-watch" one of her favorite past times!! The food is excellent, activities are varied and abundant, friends are easily made and care is excellent! I could not have done better for Mom!

Farmington station is a very comfortable setting for my 91 year old father. Since moving him into the community, he has appeared happier. The staff are very pleasant and helpful to his needs. He enjoys the food and activities offered to him. However he has the freedom to go to the activities or not.

I was in a tight timeline situation and [name removed] went above and beyond to get my mom in a safe environment immediately. He even gave us a fully furnished room until we are able to get my moms stuff relocated. He was very thorough going over paperwork every step of the way with no hidden information on what is offered and what it costs. I feel this place is genuine in wanting to provide the best care and environment possible for our loved ones and the entire staff has been wonderful in our transition to my moms new home.

The community is like going into a restart, you feel like you are in the lodge. The staff and residents are very friendly and will come up to you and say hello.

This is an awesome place! Great caring people. The community is super clean and updated. Affordable so more time at the community depending on the finances.

Farmington Station has really done a good job and been very responsive whenever my mother or her children have needed anything. We wish there was a similar quality facility down by my brothers in Madison CT and we haven't found anything that comes close to Farmington Station.
