They have been very good at communicating with us about my father-in-law's care. We had very bad experiences with other facilities, and Arbors has got him engaged in activities and he has settled down a little. Overall we are pleased with them.

My family and I researched and visited several assisted living communities in our area. The process can be overwhelming and exhausting. Upon entering Middlebrook Farms of Trumbull, we were welcomed and immediately put at ease. Their staff is genuinely friendly and caring. The environment is beautifully decorated and very clean. Our Dad has memory impairment and also requires assistance with personal care. The Harbor unit at Middlebrook Farms is specifically designed and staffed to meet his needs. The layout and design of the unit gives him a feeling of being more at home than in a facility. The staff are always present throughout the Harbor assisting residents or just spending time with them. There are activities scheduled from breakfast until dinner which are geared for the residents abilities. If Dad is not interested in participating in the activity, other staff are available to be with him and engage him in conversation or another activity. The staff are very patient with the residents- their training in Memory care shows! Before coming to stay at Middlebrook Farms, our Dad was in and out of nursing homes and hospitals several times. His transition to assisted living was complicated, however the Admissions team at Middlebrook Farms went above and beyond to coordinate with the other facilities and make his transfer as seem-less as possible. The Nurses and Admissions team stayed by our side as advocates, resources and support to get the proper plan and equipment in place for Dad. Before he moved in, we had a family care plan meeting with a member of every department present to create a comprehensive plan of care specific to his needs - which is being followed by the Harbor staff. The only item I caution on is watching for any added costs for specialty items - such as the thickened liquids that our dad requires in his diet. Those items are not added up-front however they are listed in the price guide provided with the admission paperwork. We are very happy that Dad is settled into the Harbor and is already getting involved with activities and adjusted well. I highly recommend going to their community and learning about their philosophy of care.

Life at River Ridge" I have been a resident of River Ridge at Avon for 2 ½ years. Before choosing River Ridge we did a tour of 3 other assisted living facilities in the Avon area along with our son who lives in Avon. River Ridge was the best by far for the following reasons: -The facility itself is beautiful. It has recently been redecorated and when you walk into the entrance it is like a five star hotel. -The administrative staff is outstanding. They are extremely professional, friendly, courteous, helpful and welcome you to your new potential home. This makes the change of leaving your home much more acceptable. -The nursing care is excellent and very helpful and kind to the residents when needed. -The activities for the residents are many and well received. The participation in games and mental activities keeps us active. -The facility is immaculate as cleanliness is the first order of business. -The entertainment is diversified and well planned. They include movies, concerts, and individual musicians and singers. -The food is excellent. The chefs do an outstanding job and the servers and waiters are professional, friendly, and very accommodating. -One of the highlights of River Ridge is visits to Doctors.The staff goes out of their way to accommodate the residents and work with them on all schedules. -Tuesday is set aside for shopping in local stores within 10 miles. River Ridge was our best and last decision of finding a home where we’re safe and happy.

My husband has been there for about a month. I like it. I love the set up of it. He was in assisted living at one point for 3 years. The staff is so friendly and caring. That's what I get out of it. The residents are encouraged not to be in their rooms. I would recommend The Atrium at Faxon Woods to anyone because it has been a great experience. Everything has been excellent. It's a nice community with nice people.

I LOVE the Harbor memory care unit at Forge Hill. The single most important reason is the kindness of the front line staff to my elderly mother-in-law. They are always friendly, cheerful, & helpful. At first I thought their good nature was just for show. But they are so consistently that way that this has to be for real. The administrative staff of the Harbor unit and of the larger assisted living unit are also very open, friendly & helpful. They invite our perspective & make efforts to satisfy our concerns. The second reason I love Forge Hill is the decor and the floor plan. When we first walk in, the lobby is bright & airy. My mother-in-law's room is small but lovely. The Harbor unit itself is bright with many windows, cheerful and very lovely to look at. There are multiple open spaces off a common hallway for different functions for the residents. The common hallway and relatively small size of the unit (about 22 residents?) make it easier for those with memory problems to learn their way around. At the end of the common hallway is an enclosed patio where the residents can safely enjoy being outside in the good weather. The activities director is also a sweetheart. She's friendly, with boundless energy. She provides meaningful activities for the residents morning & afternoon, including occasional trips into the community. It is a small community, and all the staff know everybody. It's very personable. I looked at a number of other places, & this is by far the best. Do I sound too enthusiastic? No - no one is paying me for this recommendation. It's all very sincere. I can't wait until I can move into the assisted living side!
