My mom went from a rehab facility to the Hearth on [date removed], the day that it was announced that no visitors could enter the building and residents would be quarantined due to Covid 19. It’s been very hard not to see first hand how my mother has been doing and very hard for her to be dropped off in a strange place without being able to visit family and friends. Overall, it has been a positive experience. My mother seems well taken care of and from what I can see the staff is kind and friendly. There have been some staff, particularly [name removed], who has gone above and beyond for my mother. I do feel communication is spotty. I have written some emails and left calls to the new director that have gone unanswered. I do think the director is trying hard to provide activities for the staff and has recently hired an activities director which I appreciate. I also sincerely appreciate that they have kept my mom safe during this pandemic. Given that for many family members this is a difficult time, not being able to come in to visit our loved ones or to bring them home, I think that there needs to be more consistent communication.

We chose this community becasue of the location, the cleanliness, and the promises made. The room sizes are not bad, shes got her bed, TV, chair and a couple of tables. My mother actaually eats and she likes the food, no complaints. They have been very cautious with COVID. The memory care is expensive. When they were able to get out, they would be able to get them out and take them on trips, play music, do exercise classes and other activities.

The Hearth at Tuxis Pond is an excellent Assisted Living Facility in a wonderful location in the heart of Madison, Connecticut. I am a Geriatric Care Manager and would not hesitate to recommend this facility to my clients. [name removed]
