WoodBine Senior Living

Everything has gone very well at The Heritage so far! It's a nice looking, clean facility, and the staff have all been very friendly and helpful. My loved one really seems to be enjoying himself here! They are definitely worth a look, if you're looking into senior living in the area.

Every staff member is very considerate of the residents and visitors. A wonderful relief to know my mom is receiving the best care 24/7. Communication between staff and relatives is excellent.

My mom recently stayed at Atria of Stratford while my husband and i went on a Mediterranean cruise. Everyone there was most accomodating and pleasant, and I was able to enjoy the trip worry free because I knew that I had left her in a caring environment. As the time of the trip approached, the room that had been promised to her was not available, so Diane most graciously allowed her to stay in the model apartment.

I think my folks are doing wonderfully there. They would never tell you that but they are thriving much better than I even thought they would. It's a beautiful place. They're excellent caregivers and are very in tune with the residents. They cater to their needs on the spot. It's really a great place and it is very homey which I like a lot. So far has been a very good experience and I actually have referred other people to go and check the place out that are in the same kind of situation as I am. It's lovely. You walk in and you feel like you're part of the family. That's what it is: one great big family. It's hard to do that with your loved one but I would recommend it to anyone. My folks have not had one bad thing to say about anything.

My sincere thanks to the staff at Atria for their assistance with my Mom. She came around and enjoyed being free of life's stresses. At home, she was losing her independence and now she is thriving with all the activities and fine dining. The staff's genuine concern for my Mom means so much to us.

My father is very independent and resisted leaving his home, he has been at Atria for over a 1 year and he wished he moved in sooner.

The staff at Atria Stratford is doing a wonderful job caring for my mom with the kindness and warmth that someone of her age and pride needs. I have experienced something at Atria Stratford that is special. Everyone knows what a difficult road this has been for my mother because of the tragic loss of my fabulous sister. She has needed the kind care and concern that each and every one who comes in contact with her gives to her.

We chose Springs Village at Danbury because there are only 48 apartments so I feel that the residents get more personalized attention since there are less people living there. There is more one on one care and the communication from the staff has been great. I am usually able to speak to someone right away whenever I call up there which is not the case at most larger facilities. I would recommend Spring Village to other families.

Spring Village is off to a great start, as a new "home" on the secure memory care floor there for my early-Alzheimer sister. Beautiful facility, with a wonderful, caring staff. Life can be difficult; but help is available.

It is a good community to live in. My mom is getting good care and gets help and accommodations to get adjusted into her new lifestyle. There are activities she likes, especially the visiting dog. My mom is eating very good. She asks for seconds and has even gained weight!

One thing that I would like to see changed is that if the resident decides to go out for a meal, that should be deducted from their meal service. They also could improve a little on communication. Some information can be hard to find and it can be hard to get answers to questions sometimes. Overall though my sister enjoys it and is doing well there. It is still a work in progress.

They do pretty good, one problem is my aunt has been there for 3 months and has two new cavities. Big concern because she has not had decay for years. The facility needs to make sure clients are reminded to brush and take care of teeth, watch their diet, etc. with bedding i have had to take home bedspreads because they stink like urine.

It's a nice place with a very friendly staff. My mom was well cared for there.

More like a home than an apartment building. I would recommend.

Great place! All staff are always on attention to the resident's needs and any family concerns. We are very glad that we trusted Spring Village to care for my husband. We strongly recommend this facility.

It was difficult to get return calls from nursing staff. Some orders weren't carried out. Limited activities especially for those higher functioning. Very expensive and constantly increasing costs. Thank God for hospice. If they weren't there then the care would have been questionable. They were always complaining about being short staffed and wanted hospice to do the daily care.

This place has a lot of activities. The food is really good. And the care is good. They have physicians and other medical people that go there to help the residents without them having to leave the property. The only thing I wish they had was mental health services coming into the place. It would be great if they could get 1:1 services as well as support groups going into the place.

I feel confident that my Mom is comfortable and getting the care that she deserves for the money that is charged for her monthly living expenses and care. We need to have more places like this for her state and other states across the country. I hope to keep her there for as long as her personal expenses last. I feel that the nursing home health care is broken and it needs places like this facility available for all patients who need the proper care for memory care needs.

The care staff has been wonderful. They all work hard to individualize care for my brother with early onset Alzheimer’s. Hospice provides care and Spring Village staff works very collaboratively with the Hospice agency staff. The living space is clean and attractive. The only draw back is the lacking of social activities. The previous care center in another state was very enriching with activities-live local music performers, movement activities, frequent socials and animal visits. Even group television was enriching celebrating games, nature shows, classic movies and performances by contemporary artists. No TV reruns…I am hopeful the activities will improve.

The facility is award winning in the area and I can't say enough about the staff. They are so caring and friendly. They really go the extra mile. A real game changer for us is that my mom is allowed to have her cat there! The food could just taste better and the veggies always look way over cooked. To be fair, I've never actually tasted it. But it doesn't look that good and my mom and her table mates never seem that enthused, but that could be a symptom of age
