Mommy needing more care, but great experience here
They were great with mom, but limited to what she needed, she needs 24hr care, I really thought they were a great fit, but mom needed more. The staff was great especially nurse [name removed], when she always kept us updated and informed with mom while she was there, but she couldn't stay there as they were hands off, and mommy needed more care as she is now in a skilled facility.

What we like the most about the Southmayd Home for Women, is that we feel that our loved one is in a safe place. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend the Southmayd Home to other families.

I love this place - I want to live here! I would highly recommend
Overall this has been a great experience. It was easy moving Mom in and everyone has been very supportive and helpful. Every time I am there I see the cleaning staff working. They are very nice and if there is something that I see in Mom's room they come right up and take care of it. The staff are all very friendly, caring, kind, and fun. They seem to enjoy their work and genuinely care about the ladies that live there. They take very good care of the ladies there. Everyone is clean and they seem happy. They make sure that Mom takes care of herself and they communicate with me right away if there are ever any issues. The kitchen staff is fantastic! Especially since they have to deal with Mom's dietary restrictions. She is allergic to all dairy and has issues when she eats wheat and meat products as well. They are very good at making sure she has a well rounded diet and they get substitutes for her when they are serving a meal she can't have. There is a regular schedule of activities and events for the ladies. Mom hasn't said one way or the other whether or not she enjoys them, but she has mentioned that she goes and the staff says that she will actively participate. This is very worth the money. I feel there is so much value that is offered and my family and I are so much more relaxed knowing that Mom is safe and well cared for.

Great like home experience
I presently have a family member at Southmayd. In the past 15 years I have had three other relatives live there. The staff is amazing. The activities are wonderful and allow for self expression and as much or as little participation as the patient wishes. No holiday or birthday goes by without a party. Decorations abound.

Wonderful safe and great overall.
My aunt has been there for 5 years now. At first she was not sure she wanted to be there but those feelings changed quickly. She loves this place and the people who work here. I am very grateful to find such a nice place that treats their women with dignity and love. I only wish we had gotten my aunt in here years before.
If you need a safe and beautiful environment for you family member this is the place.

First Impression
What a beautiful refreshing home. I had the pleasure of getting a tour this week and I was so impressed. The staff was so nice and friendly, the rooms were immaculate, and the intimate setting of a small home with residents that truly are friends was just so nice to see. I will certainly recommend this residence to friends and family!

A Warm Experience
Southmayd Home for women has a certain charm. The common rooms are filled with character that gives a sense of being at home. The single bed rooms are of adequate sizes and are extremely comfortable. The walking garden path is outstanding. So too is the patio with tables and seating. Combined with the activities and other programs on offer, there maybe no other place that can compete with the intimacy and warmth provided by the those who make it all happen: the staff.
This is a place where you will want your loved one to be.

A Hidden Gem
The Southmayd Home is such a beautiful and unique community of women. The sense of history one feels when walking into the 100 year old structure is awe-inspiring. Likewise, my able tour guide, [date removed], shared the story of the foremothers of Southmayd, who raised the money to build the structure specifically to meet the needs of Waterbury's independent senior women. Don't want to overemphasize the age of the building; evidence of updates abound, from the installation of a new elevator to the up-to-the-minute flatscreen, through which residents access all kinds of entertainment and enrichment. If you're considering a place for a woman in your family, you'll definitely want to tour the Southmayd Home!

Beautiful Facility and very Professional Staff
I highly recommend Southmayd Home for Women! Its a cozy, lovely, clean and friendly environment. It's lovely to see women sitting at the library reading and others doing arts and craft. Favorite part is the convenience of having only women residing there. Feels like home! Not to mention extremely affordable. I highly recommend.

Loving care for Mom…peace of mind for us
Southmayd Home was the ideal place for Mom when she began to require more help and supervision with daily activities. She started with Respite Stays and gradually transitioned to permanent residence. The transition was smooth with the help of caring and competent staff, their attention to detail and a comfortable family-oriented environment. For example, my mother had many specific food preferences…the dietary staff went out of their way to accommodate her with alternate meal choices. She enjoyed selected social activities but they respected her privacy when she preferred to stay in her own room to read or pray. Our family always felt welcome and were encouraged to visit at any time. All staff, from administration to aides and housekeeping, were sensitive to her needs and provided emotional support for all of us as needed. Southmayd Home is a hidden gem with clean and beautiful surroundings. We highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a safe and nurturing environment for Mom.

Peace of Mind at Southmayd
My mother has been at the Southmayd Home for 9 years. She has dementia and was unable to live alone. At Southmayd she lives as independently as possible and is able to participate in activities with the community there. It is so much better than being isolated at home. She is happy at Southmayd and that makes us happy. Whenever I visit or call I know that everyone who works there knows my mother and is looking out for her welfare. The food is delicious, the building is so homey and welcoming- not an institutional feeling at all, and the grounds and plantings are extensive and beautifully maintained. As a girl, I went to school next door at the Kingsbury School. For every holiday throughout the year, students would bring special “favors” (little cups of candies that we decorated) for the ladies. I had a wonderful impression of Southmayd back then that continues to this day. There is the same warmth and caring that permeates Southmayd. My family and I are very grateful.

Great place for loved ones
I am so very happy to have the Southmayd family caring for my aunt. She has been there for 5 years now and she really has come to love the place and the people. Also it is a safe enviorment for her. It is especially nice and a great comfort to know that there are wonderful people looking after her since I am no longer there several times a week to check on her. I recommend Southmayd to anyone who has a need for there services for their loved one.

Best kept secret in Waterbury
My Mom was a resident for about 8 years. The facility was homey, clean, comfortable. The staff was caring and friendly, so compassionate always recognizing the need for a feeling of independence. There were always activities and programs to keep the residents engaged. As a family we all enjoyed visiting my Mom and all the other residents. The staff knew all of us, and always kept us informed about Mom’s day to day care. Mom celebrated her 100th birthday there and the staff planned an awesome party for her complete with 100 roses, delicious food prepared by the staff, entertainment! Christmas was always special with decorations made by the residents, a festive family party,, a program put on by the residents..
One thing that always impressed me was the care taken with the laundry . My mother was very particular with her clothes and they washed and ironed her things just like she used to!

Wonderful place to call home
I had the pleasure of visiting Southmayd Home for Women and was so impressed by the overall atmosphere, its like one big, beautiful home. The residents were actively engaged and there was plenty to do, yummy food choices and both staff and residents seemed to all be very happy there. Southmayd Home for Women has some good solid longevity in key positions. A women only facility is quite unique and I think a fantastic idea for many. Families are welcome at anytime and they offer respite stay which is a nice way to ease a loved one into long-term care. [name removed] the outreach coordinator was so warm, welcoming and enthusiastic. She loves what she does, and it shows.

Had a great tour with [name removed]. She explained everything and even suggested a trial to see how my mom will adjust to the situation. She was very accommodating and even talking with some of the residents spontaneously was a pleasant experience.

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.
