Our Experience
My mom is a resident at Avery Heights and the experience has been great. Mom says most of the food is very good. They were giving her two big meals a day. At our family meeting we asked if she could have a sandwich for dinner and that has worked better for her, along with some fruits. There are many activities to participate in, but my mom doesn't participate unless she goes to mass. I visit her nearly everyday and I know that she is being cared for.

A wonderful home for us!
My husband has moderate Alzheimer's disease. 2 plus years ago it became apparent that we needed to move from our home. We found a lovely cottage on the grounds of Avery Heights. There is a memory care section so when he needs it, we are already here!

All residents are encouraged to participate in as many of the daily activities as they wish. Friends can join existing programs or even start new ones, if there is an interest. Common areas such as, theater, game room, or the library are great places to meet friends and have fun.

A Special Place
After very trying times, for everyone these past several years, we feel it is long overdue that we express our heartfelt gratitude for the excellent acre and attention our parents have received at Avery Heights. It didn't take them long to feel right at home. The staff is very special. They are always compassioante, respectful, and treat our parents with love and affection.

Avery Heights is a terrific place. My mom has been a resident for 3.5 years. The staff is outstanding and the sevice has been exceptional. Each person living here is treated with respect and attention is carefully given on an individual basis. As a physician, I have spent many hours in retirement homes, as well as nursing homes and it doesn't get any better than Avery Heights.

Nice looking place
I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. However, my loved one was a bit beyond the level of care they provide here. It is definitely worth a look for those looking into assisted living, however!

Good Rehab, Expensive Assisted Living
My aunt went here for rehab when she first got out of the hospital. It's a rehab but they also have assisted living there, it's called The Heights. While we were there we looked at that part and the room looked nice but that was probably another $1000 a month compared to what other places cost. The rehab care was good. My aunt was treated very well when she was at Avery Heights. The social worker that I talked to there, Jennifer, was good too.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Connecticut regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Connecticut regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Avery Heights

Avery Heights offers 1 Bedroom, 2 Bedrooms and Studio. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Avery Heights 8.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
