What do customers say?

Most families report that staff make transitions feel supported and that residents flourish in a caring community. The beautiful historic building and engaging activities draw consistent praise. One family's formal complaint to Connecticut's Department of Public Health alleged their father was medicated without consent and neglected when ill, resulting in documented violations found by health inspectors. This serious concern sits in stark tension with the overwhelming majority's positive experiences.
