Recent reviews of Independent Living in Bridgeport, CT
3.3 / 5.0

We picked this community, because my father liked it. Nice facility with nice residents. Management is questionable. I would recommend to others.

4.6 / 5.0

She is very happy here. Most people there are great but she's had some issues with cleaning staff. She has been very impressed with the food and the activities - much happier than she expected to be there ( in assisted living).

5 / 5.0

I am very impressed with the people and the facility at Sunrise of East Setauket. The level of care is impressive and everyone is so so so helpful!
