Understaffed.
The Residence at Brookside is a lovely facility, and the employees were all very nice. However, they were clearly understaffed and had a lot of turnover, which does not inspire a lot of faith. Additionally, I don't think the care was all that great - my brother's meds were messed up a couple of times, and communication was not good - among staff, between staff and my brother's medical team, and between staff and our family. I was honestly pretty disappointed in the quality of care for the price.

I am overall happy living here at Brookside I am, however not that happy about the recent increase in price for my apartment. I think the staff is friendly and the food is good. I don’t really participate in the activities, but I do not think the value for cost is equal.

I would like to see a beginners knitting club maybe crocheting I would like to see them brighten up the dining room, and I don’t think the carpets are that nice I would like to see the carpets newer and some of the other things in the community updated I think that would make a big difference.

The Residence at Brookside
We moved to Brookside so my wife could receive the support she needs but we could still be together. I am very happy that the team helped us with the transition. Moving from home is not easy but now I know my wife is getting the care she needs and we can spend enjoyable time together. I will recommend the community to my friends.

Our family searched for many months, looking for a community that was safe, beautiful and active for our parents. We could not be happier with our choice. The Residence at Brookside has exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff is extremely helpful, kind and compassionate. They have a fabulous menu and lots of activities and events to keep the guests entertained & social. We couldn’t be happier!

Poor Communication
My elderly parent is at Brookside and the communications are TERRIBLE! I have easily requested emails SIX TIMES on events so I could attend public holiday celebrations and never an email or call. Unbelieveable! The phone isn’t always answered, no recording machine! Finally in the current virus situation updates would be helpful, what are they doing to ensure the health of the residences??? Keep the families INFORMED! For the price I would not recommend Brookside, the communication is not happening- very unprofessional. A fee of 10k monthly for the one bedroom, 10k a month for the 24/7 aid.

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 The Residence at Brookside

The Residence at Brookside offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Residence at Brookside 9.6 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.
