Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Darien, CT
Village Green in Levittown, NY
4.0

The marketing team was so helpful during the tough decision making process by addressing all of our questions and concerns, and provided continued support to us and Mom during move-in and the first few weeks of settling in. The staff is a great group of kind and caring people. Mom is happy with living at Village Green!

Westchester Center for Independent & Assisted in Yonkers, NY
4.0

My father in law is doing okay here at this community, he is still adjusting, but they are caring for him well. We do feel comfortable with his move to this community, it is a nice place. [Removed] is amazing. She was great to work with, she was very helpful, and understanding. The front desk receptionist isn't very pleasant, but the rest of the staff is very kind, and helpful. His room is well maintained when we visit, but the guest restroom could be better maintained. They have been very accommodating, and this is a community I would recommend.

The Bristal at East Northport
4.5

The staff at the East Northport Bristal is always kind. They always have a smile on their faces and are genuinely sweet and loving to my mom. The facility is ALWAYS spotless and beautiful to live in or visit. The only area I see occasional improvement for is the food. It is not always hot and more fresh veggies needed. The personal care and overall facility is excellent.
