The southernmost state in New England, Connecticut is a popular destination for residents of the New York metropolitan area looking for a scenic getaway — particularly during October, when fall colors are most vibrant. Known as the “Constitution State” for its nation-building contributions following the Revolutionary War, Connecticut is rich with historic Colonial landmarks in cities like Hartford and New London. The southern coastline along the Long Island Sound includes Hammonasset Beach State Park, as well as New Haven, the state’s second-largest city. Here you’ll find Yale University, the antique carousel at Lighthouse Point Park, and the famous New Haven-style thin crust pizza. Although Connecticut can be a bit more expensive than other states, you’ll find it to be a serene, picturesque escape from the big city and an excellent retirement destination.

The staff are all very friendly. The facility is large in size and they offer multiples different levels of care, which is why we chose Avery Heights over others. I would recommend this facility to others...

If I had to choose one word to describe Arden Courts, it would be "home". When I was visiting memory care facilities, I would have never imagined I would have found a place so similar to a home environment....
Very friendly staff, very approachable. Only one meal per day covered in monthly "rent", but that keeps the cost down somewhat. I've only seen my dad's apartment, which is a studio. But it's bigger than...

We picked this community because it was close to where my loved one lived, and other familiy members. My loved one did not like the food, and mentioned that it was dry. He did like the happy hour, and music...
