Healthy, vibrant community and excellent care

The Residence at Glastonbury surpassed my expectations in care, nutrition, services, lodging and meaningful activities. Great staff. We went from independent living to memory care and hospice in place.

The Residence at Glastonbury

The care services is a 4 because they are a short staffed. However, it is a clean facility and decent food. Need to hire more staff for evenings. Yes, we would recommend the community to other families based on the experience so far.

it's a nice community if you can afford it

The staff for the most part are great. They take no time to arrive if they are called. That's a big plus. The food if better that most places I've been to but there always room for improvement especially in the variety. On the down side they way overpriced

The Residence at Glastonbury review

They really take care of the patients. Room was too nice he never wanted to come out of it except to eat . He liked the meals too. He didn't always like the staff checking up on him but that was their job. After a while he understood.

Highly Recommend- Perfect Mix of high quality care and lifestyle

This is a high caliber staff with little turnover- From the dining room service to the active engagement of all the directors, this is by far one of the best elements of this location. Everything is made fresh and sourced locally- chef quality. Good rotation of choices. They have guest speakers, live music, outings, arts, crafts. And the events are all very well attended. The residences will never be the lowest cost provider- yet, I must say that the value for the money is outstanding.

Review for The Residence at Glastonbury

The experience had been good since the new company took over last year. At first it was a bit rough. They lost a lot of staff. But they seem to have recovered well under the new director. It's very clean. The menu is appealing. The building is very nice. Patient care seems to be good.

The Residence Glastonbury

While it was a stressful time to move my cousin from independent living to assisted living, the staff has helped make this transition a very good experience. Friendly and accommodating staff in all areas (reception, maintenance, dining, health & wellness staff, transportation, just to name a few). I would highly recommend this facility, particularly if you are looking for assisted living.

The Residence (aka The Hearth)

I moved my mom into The Hearth during a very stressful time in my life this past summer. The caring, patient healthcare aides and nurses took exceptional care of my mom around the clock. The care from the facility allowed me to finally be at peace with her diagnosis of Dementia. There are morning and afternoon activities every day. She is reminded to attend on a daily basis with a friendly knock on her apartment door. The entire team is a huge asset as anyone will step in and assists when and if issues arise out of their control. I highly recommend this facility.

Outstanding Care

We interviewed at several assisted living facilities and chose The Residence for many reasons. [name removed] is very welcoming in his approach to new guests, the building and grounds are clean, well maintained and modern and the apartments are spacious, updated and bright! Our Dad has lived there for almost two months and he has had excellent care from the entire staff - from medical to maintenance. We highly recommend it!

Always a Pleasure

I work as a hospice consultant and this community is in my territory. It is always a pleasure to meet with the team at The Residence at Glastonbury. Frank always goes out of his way to make sure everyone that walks in the door feels welcome. The residents are truly valued, respected and well taken care of. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for senior living.

Review for The Hearth at Glastonbury

They lied to me about how often he'd be able to exercise and shower (promised daily, got once a week at best), the management staff was often unavailable or unresponsive, and the medication management was iffy at times. That said, he was safe and fed for the month he stayed there. But I wouldn't send him back nor recommend anyone send a loved one there unless they had no better option. I had to go there almost daily to make sure he got his meds, had enough access to water (I brought in cases of water for him), and educate the staff of his needs. He definitely decompensated at a very significantly higher rate while he was there.

My loved one is currently a resident at The Hearth at Glastonbury and everything has been really good for her at this facility so far. The move in process was a little chaotic, but I can't blame the facility for all of it. I'm very happy with everything at this facility except for the business manager. She was incredibly rude when I asked her about charges on my loved one's bill. The nurses and the aides at this facility are wonderful. I can only say that Mom hasn't complained about the food. It looks and smells good. Communication with the family is great, they're very good at keeping me informed about loved one. I would recommend The Hearth at Glastonbury to others.
