Professional, Caring, Comforting

Mom was at [community removed] (Now Skybrook) for several months. The facility is newer and inviting. More importantly, the people are amazing - professional, caring, comforting. Mgmt, staff, chefs, they were all amazing. They cared about Mom & us. When it came time for hospice, they have an excellent relationship with AccentCare. AccentCare was there same day. Reviewed & updated Mom's situation same day. Provided frequent updates. If we had a question & AccentCare staff wasn't on site, Anthology staff could respond knowledgeably. AccentCare let us know when it was coming time. They were around more frequently. Kept us up to date on Mom's declining condition. Asked how we were doing. Advised of their grief services. Anthology staff came around more frequently to comfort & help. When the time came, mgmt & staff reached out to provide comfort and as much help as possible. Staff had become friends and we grieved together. We picked the right place for Mom

A family's experience

It does not feel like Mom is in an institutional place. Yes, I would definitely recommend the place to others. My one little disappointment is that when it moved from Anthologyto Skybrook, they discontinued the sagely app which allowed us to keep tabs on Mom's activities during the day. They did not replace the Sagely app with anything comparable.

A very well run place with outstanding staff

A very new 5 year old facility with excellent programs and staff. If there is an emergency they respond immediately. The classes they provide are many and great fun. They also provide entertainment such as movies and musical events... always something to do or celebrate!

A life worth living each day

The hardest part of having my dad at Anthology of Simsbury (in a good way) is locating him when I go there to visit because he is so engaged with the activities, especially the social ones. He thoroughly loves the musical offerings (both live and in the theater); parties, fundraisers for Alzheimer's, movies, socials, educational opportunities, discussion groups, etc. Having been in the hospitality business most of his life, he enjoys sitting outside with friends sharing stories, greeting people as they come through the front doors, and of course, dining experiences with other residents. As his daughter, I enjoy knowing he can be mobile and venture out for ice cream on the Anthology van or other excursions as he wishes; that he has lots of staff aware of him and conversing with him; and that from haircuts to holiday bling, his life is enriched and well even after losing my mom and that gives me peace of mind too.

A godsend for my mom—and our family!

My mother hadn’t made adequate plans for her care as she reached her late 90s, so when COVID hit, my brother, mother, and I, all living in different states, had to work quickly to find her a safe and satisfactory new home. From start to finish, Anthology’s staff went above and beyond to speedily settle her in a lovely apartment, assess and provide her needed care, offer good, healthful meals and abundant activities, and treat her with compassion and respect. She was not the easiest person to get along with, but everyone at Anthology treated her with good grace and affection. Knowing my mom was in such good hands during the final years of her life gave me and my brother great peace of mind, and we are grateful to all who contributed to that. Highly, enthusiastically recommended!

Trustworthy Facility- EXCELLENT Care Staff

My 81-year-old Mother has been at Anthology of Simsbury for almost 1.5 years. When she got sick, she went from an active and fully functioning lady to completely wheelchair bound and unable to do any of her “activities of daily living” in FOUR months. Needless to say, it was terrible! Anthology has been a Godsend to me and my family. All the Staff at the Facility are wonderful! My Mom is in the Memory Care Unit (requires 24-hour hands-on care), and I happily report that the Care Providers are AMAZING!! Anthology is blessed to have some of the most caring and kind people as their Team Members. This Unit is staffed with a Nurse on all shifts, the Facility is clean, and the food is very good. Anthology has an amazing “Enrichment” Staff, charged with activities and entertainment; I appreciate that my Mom can be in the company of others, get outside on nicer days, and see/listen to performances and programs on a weekly basis. Anthology gives me peace of mind and I am deeply grateful!!

A very welcoming community. I feel at home.

My only disappointment is that there are fewer independent seniors than I would have liked. But personal interests are encouraged and accommodated when possible. And new friendships are made. I'm glad I made the move.

Anthology of Simsbury

My husband and I think of Anthology of Simsbury as our extended family. The residents and staff members are all so supportive and friendly. Our apartment is really great and perfect for us, and maid service weekly is fantastic. We feel fortunate to live here and our children have a sense of security for us as well. Thank you Anthology!

Easy Transition

My mom started going to Anthology for respite care when my husband and I traveled. My mom always looked forward to her stay there with enthusiasm. When it became time for my mom to enter memory care, we knew we could trust the staff to take excellent care of her. She is our most precious commodity. The staff has been wonderful helping us at every step of the journey.

Overall recommend

1. There should be more clarity on the cost/fee for each day prior to move in. 2. Would be helpful to have complete list of different doctors' affiliated with the place and insurances that they take readily available.

Though Anthology would be much better for the price we are paying

I'm not really happy w anthology. I wish they had more activities. They don't clean my moms room much at all. There is hardly any communication. It's very expensive. It's fancy and new but they don't give the individual care I was hoping for

Again, we like the overall feel, the staff is very friendly, but due to the overworked staff, our questions/concern.....

They seem short staffed; overall it is clean and comfortable ; very friendly staff; It is a safe environment, well lit with a locked door. The communication could be better; meals are usually good; there are a lot of activities but usually involve the TV; a bit over priced. Again, we like the overall feel, the staff is very friendly, but due to the overworked staff, our questions/ concerns are not always addressed promptly.

My Tour Experience at Anthology of Simsbury

I didn't care for Anthology. Although aesthetically pleasing, the atmosphere seemed dreary almost. Figured that maybe the vast majority of residents receive a high level of care. My aunt's not "there" - yet.

Our Experience with Anthology of Simsbury

I did not find them to be very attentive. The food was okay, but they didn't serve it in a manner that was easy for memory care patients to eat - for instance, it should have been cut up into smaller pieces. My loved one's room was dirty, and the floors were never cleaned. The laundry would be sent out and come back with different laundry meant for another person. I just felt that the care was subpar. The nursing care was constantly changing, so there was no stability or continuity for the residents. The aides could have been more caring and sensitive to the residents' needs. I would not recommend Anthology based on our experience.

Our families experience

Just like everyone right now they are having trouble with staffing so things like the house keeping is lacking a little bit. They recently had a head chef change so the meals are not as good as what they were before, and when they have to close down the dining facility and take the food to the residents the meals also struggle. We do think the quality of care there is good, and the workers they do have there are great and very lovely. It is expensive so the expectations are a little higher The engagement director has started going to some of the activities and has been impressed with how good the quality of the activities are. Also sometimes communication is lacking.
