Farmington Station, A Senior Living Residence
5.0

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.

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.
