The Village at East Farms in Waterbury, CT

My father went to the live there when his wife passed in September at 98 years of age, with severe Alzheimer’s. He was still in good physical form & they set him up with PT and OT. I opted for one on one from a separate company for additional support as he was a little unsteady (98 years old!) Food excellent, care wonderful, staff loved him! The residents are happy. The place is full of natural light & clean kudos to maintenance. He was happy….went on bus rides, sang along with the entertainment, and generally enjoyed his stay. Unfortunately, the Alzheimer’s disease caught up to him and he passed 12/28. Again, I can’t speak highly enough of the care not only for him but for my family as he met the end of life. As with all elderly, there are falls and illness in all places but they work diligently as a team to protect their residents. Communication with the family also key. My family and I are so appreciative that Leominster Crossing was available and able to place him in their care.

I would highly recommend this facility. The staff are very caring and kind. The folks that will be interacting and caring for your loved ones are crucial to making the transition to a retirement home as painless as possible for all. I have dined with my Mother on several occasions and the food is very good. The waitress makes sure that my Mom has a little bowl of fruit at her table once a day because she likes this. A sweet personal touch.

My husband gets better care at the Arbors than I was able to give him at home, and it gives me peace of mind knowing that he's safe and watched over 24/7. The people, from reception to the nurses and aides, call him by name and know where he is at any time of day. There are eyes on him wherever he chooses to roam. They have made him feel at home. They know his likes and dislikes and treat him with respect and tenderness. They feed him, clean him, dress him, and put him to bed at the end of the day. He knows they care and responds to them accordingly. He even gets his nails trimmed and a haircut every couple of weeks. The building is clean and easy on the eyes. I got a warm fuzzy feeling the first time I walked in and was greeted by Maggie, the friendly house canine. The residents enjoy having a pet around, while the care and feeding is done by administrative staff, and she follows them wherever they go. And the food is good!

We are very happy with the care my mom is receiving at the Arbors. The staff members are wonderful. They are warm and so caring in their interactions with my mom and other residents. We see them hugging them and trying to make them laugh all the time. It makes us feel so much better knowing she is in a place where she is looked at as an individual, shown compassion and respect, and included in so many activities and opportunities for socializing. We knew the minute we stepped foot into the Arbors that it was the right place for us!

Overall fantastic! Staff very accommodating to our family needs! Very happy with the cleanliness! The only blip was dining. My family member needed low sodium food, but there very few choices. Cost comparable to other facilities. Based on the experience we have had so far, we have already recommend this community to a friend and will continue to do so!

When it comes to the meals and dining service, my mother is a fussy eater. I have not eaten there so I am going with a 4. Best part is you can order the day ahead and various foods are always available. Our loved one does not participate in the activities so we cannot comment. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend the Blenheim-Newport community to others.

Everything that we have experience so far has been very good. The staff are awesome. The cost obviously goes up the more services that you need which can get expensive. But compared to other facilities that I looked up it is less. I would definitely recommend the facility. I was greatfeul to be able to work with A Place for Mom.

My mother really likes living there and I would highly recommend it to anyone who asks. Everyone is incredibly friendly, the place is really nice and we feel mom is safe there. Even though my mom really liked the food, we find it interesting that she has told us sometimes they run out of things as simple as a baked potato. There have been a few other things, baked potato struck me funny to run out of. I'm sure not to be wasteful of food they only make so many and first ones at the dining room get dibs. While I commented and only gave a 4, my mother loves the food there! My brother and I find it amusing when she tells us when they run out of something and she may not be the one asking someone she sits with.

My loved one was previously a resident at Benchmark Senior Living at Plymouth Crossings and this facility was absolutely amazing. The staff really treat their residents and residents' families like their own family. They are super attentive to everyone's needs. The facility is always spotless. They also have a lot of events that they invite families to come to. Unfortunately, it was getting too costly for us and we had to move our loved one to a different facility.
