Really nice room. Activities are not that great

Pricing is a-la-carte and maybe that's standard, but it wasn't explained up front. I would still recommend, but something to learn and watch out for. We picked them because of the location.

At the time the nursing staff was short handed and communication lacked. Kitchen staff was not friendly. I would only recommend Spring Village at Danbury for someone who can advocate for themselves.

A nice place for my grandmother to be a part of. She enjoys the environment and the care she receives. Her only complaint is the food, and occasionally the cleaning of her room could be improved. Overall, we’re satisfied with the support and services provided.

[name removed] was amazing. She connected me to several facilities. She also helped me get information about a VA benefit. The facility sounded great . I moved my mom and everyone was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately they are under staffed and have difficulty meeting my mom's needs. The cleanliness is average, the food is ok. The staff are working hard and very friendly.

I was not impressed with our respite stay here at Spring Village at Stratford. If I had to do it over again, we would probably not go back.

On the whole, it is a decent, clean facility. There is a problem at times in getting help to use the facilities. The food choices need to be better. Menu looks like a school menu. Not very appetizing.

I have concerns and I will share those concerns. Some of the concerns I'm shocked about are: the specialty doctors are supposed to come once a month, and they don't visit my dad. There isn't enough staff in general, and apparently they use the nursing students from the local university; once a resident gets used to a caregiver then they switch and you don't know. My loved one's significant other does a lot of things the staff should be doing. The portions were small to begin with and they become even smaller. We are able to send food via amazon due to the pandemic. My loved one has lost quite a bit of weight. This could be COVID related or economy. The sales person was also the activity director and she did everything. She recently left. One of the resident contracted COVID from one of two employees. They ended up on lock down for December and January. This is a newer community.

It was very close to my house. Hospital feel throws me off. The place needs quite the facelift for the $$ paid to live there ... [name removed] was great. Don't know how my mother would interact with so many residents sitting around the way they were in the common area. Although there are 12 residents that are on the "level" my mother is.

We toured The Gardens when we were looking for a place for my loved one. It's a nice place, but it seemed too small. I also don't think that my loved one liked the location. Overall, it just was not a good for for us.

We ended up moving to another community which afforded us a medical model, Atria Stratford is a social model. We were promised a lot of things that they were not able to provide. The care staff, recreation staff were friendly and tried their best. We mainly had issues with the director who was very arrogant and not understanding of the care we needed, he was all about the business end.

should have more attendants per person. very accommodating to concerns. Needs some adjustments in several areas but could be a top of list.

As it was at all of the places we toured, it was clean, and the staff is quite pleasant. We visited in the morning, a little before 10:00, and people weren't up and about yet. I did like that they had a chef there, and the food was not quite as institutional as a lot of the more corporate places.

Assisted living only.

Hard to say on the value as that facility was not a good fit and could not accommodate Mom's needs. It was a mismatch from day one, they oversold their ability to accommodate someone with my mother's handicap.

My dad has fallen twice under there care since July. Broke his hip on first fall. And broke his fema on second fall. They charged for care for the whole month of September and he was only there for 4 days that month. Me and my brother split time staying with my mom who is still there. The over turn on the help is ridiculous. Very in experienced on the care of medication and handling folks with dementia. Looking for new place before dad gets out of rehab. Would recommend you look somewhere else for care. False advertisement on specializing in dementia. Nursing director just resigned red flag there too

Spring Village describes services they do not offer. Their staff changes constantly which is a red flag. They increased pricing 10% this past year and now charge for their once complimentary shuttle service. They have a law suit from a family who loved one died under their watch, apparently due to a fall. Newspaper stated 13 falls in a short period of time. The parent company had a lawsuit in VT and the facility was closed and they are not allowed to do business in that state. Beware!

We had a pretty okay experience with this community. However I did not like the head nurse. She gave us misinformed information. She said my mother could move in the community with my father, but that was not the case.

We toured this place when we were looking into options for our loved ones. In general it just seemed dark, and wasn't as clean as others we had seen. The residents just didn't seem very lively or happy.

Clearly designed to deal with memory care, but the memory unit is sans pets and mandatory roommates, so not what Mom would pick if she were capable of making the choice. But, right in town.
