The southernmost state in New England, Connecticut is a popular destination for residents of the New York metropolitan area looking for a scenic getaway — particularly during October, when fall colors are most vibrant. Known as the “Constitution State” for its nation-building contributions following the Revolutionary War, Connecticut is rich with historic Colonial landmarks in cities like Hartford and New London. The southern coastline along the Long Island Sound includes Hammonasset Beach State Park, as well as New Haven, the state’s second-largest city. Here you’ll find Yale University, the antique carousel at Lighthouse Point Park, and the famous New Haven-style thin crust pizza. Although Connecticut can be a bit more expensive than other states, you’ll find it to be a serene, picturesque escape from the big city and an excellent retirement destination.

Ocean Meadow is a small community, and the senior staff has been there for a long time. They're deeply committed to memory care. What I was looking for more than anything in a memory care staff is patience, and that's something they brought up on their own. Their staff is very well trained in memory care. The Recreation Director is fabulous. Mom is so happy there. They post pictures and are very communicative. They send me texts if something great happens or if they need to connect about anything else. They're just amazing and so attentive. Mom loves the food. She plays piano, so they arranged to have a piano in her space, which was so thoughtful. The whole place is beyond my wildest dreams. And it's a great value compared to other paces looked at.
Read moreMy 103 year old mother has been here since spring [date removed] (with a summer off in Nantucket). We have been very impressed with the personalized service from all the staff, including professional care from the nurses. My mother had to recover from a fall and staff worked closely with my family to make sure that my mother got the care she needed to recover as much of her activities as possible in a safe and appropriate manner. The facility seems more like a Marriott than an assisted living facility. The food is surprisingly good, including wine at dinner. There are smaller private dining areas for family events, which we have used for than once. I could not imagine my mother at any other facility. I sleep well at night knowing my mother is safe and just five minutes away. The pool table is great too...
Read moreWhile our loved one was there, they did a good job. The care our loved one needed they were able to handle, she needed a assisted living with a medical room and they were able to accommodate that. We were happy with then, and given the circumstances they did their best with communicating to our family. The meals and dining service we think was good, our loved one seemed to like the food. The staff was fairly attentive, and everything worked out it was a good experience.
