Lifestyle Transitions at Wesley Heights in Shelton, CT

My mom is doing great at Lifestyle Transitions. She loves living there and is doing very well.

Seacrest Retirement Center in West Haven, CT
4.0

After visiting many "retirement homes", Seacrest definitely feels more homey than all of the other more institution style residencies. It's beautiful water view setting adds tremendously to its value as well as a strong sense of family amongst its attendants and workers and residents. Our unannounced visits are always met with an orderly, controlled environment, filling every need of the residents. I would definitely recommend Seacrest to anyone looking for that special place.
