The Residence at South Windsor Farms
5.0

They were very friendly and caring-my father enjoyed it while he was there!!! Always willing to answer any questions I had!! We have a great experience there

Academy Point at Mystic
5.0

Overall, it's been a great experience. My dad seems to be very happy there. The most appealing part is the being in a New England home feel. Not a nursing home environment. Dad is just on a vacation!

Solstice Senior Living at Groton
4.6

I'm speaking as an outsider. Going on my mother's opinion. We chose Solstice because of the cleanliness, friendliness of everyone, and cooking her meals, etc. But rent is very high for being understaffed I think. My sister and I have been helping to pay her rent for about a year. They usually seem short-staffed which leads to delays at mealtimes, affects housekeeping, etc. We moved mom in in Nov 2022 and are still unable to get any assistance through Patriot Angels. They ASSURED me before she moved that it would be no problem. Yet we didn't. My mom is moving this month to the retirement section of Complete Care in Groton and will get assistance through the state to pick up the excess that she is not able to pay. My mom made wonderful friends there and would love to stay, but can't afford it now.
