The McAuley
Staff members by name (Anabela, Elizabeth, Beth Andresen, James Manugas, Jaclyn Terranova, Sandy Bullard) consistently help new residents settle in quickly. The building buzzes with daily activities, meals prepared on-site, and social events that draw residents together; friendships form fast, and volunteers keep busy in the gift shop, library, and resident singers group. One reviewer found it expensive and socially cliquey, with intrusive neighbours, but the overwhelming majority describe the atmosphere as welcoming and the staff as genuinely attentive to concerns. The McAuley operates across independent living and assisted living settings. Apartments are spacious with screened balconies and pet-friendly policies. Website amenities include a salon, fitness centre, wood shop, greenhouse, and 24-hour concierge. Meals rotate chef-prepared options, and housekeeping comes bi-weekly. The business marks its 30th anniversary serving West Hartford.
