Review for Avery Heights

The staff is very friendly, the apartment is spacious, bright and clean. There are plenty of activities and the food is great. The only downside fall so far is the lack of communication. We've asked for assistance for my mother via email through one of the nursing staff, it went unanswered and I've called and left a message and a week went by with no response.

Avoid

I cannot recommend Avery Heights based on my family's experience. My mother suffers from Lewy Body dementia, one of the most challenging and heartbreaking conditions a family can face. When we first met with Avery Heights, we were given what seemed like a compassionate, empathetic sales presentation. Looking back, that empathy felt more like part of the sales process than a genuine commitment to my mother's well-being. It left us with the impression that filling a room was a higher priority than determining whether Avery Heights was truly the right place for her. As our concerns grew, I reached out to the head nurse and requested copies of the nursing and social work documentation that should have existed before our scheduled phone call. Rather than providing the records or explaining what had been documented, my request was ignored, and staff instead insisted on having a phone conversation. That raised serious concerns for me about the quality and consistency of their documentation

I would definitely recommend it

Mom likes the food a lot and everyone is eager to help her. Sometimes they come late with her meds and that's a little frustrating. But over all a nice place.

Overall a Very Nice Community!

Staff is warm, very helpful, and competent. The activities are wonderful. My father has come into his own there. He is encouraged to participate and feel a part of the community. The facilities are amazing. The food is delicious and there are a wide variety of options. He has been very happy there. We all work well together in the best interest of my dad. We wish we had gotten him there sooner!

Sauce for the gander is not necessarily sauce for the goose

I came here because my husband wanted to get rid of his household chores. I think he would rate this place as a 5+. I want to be back at my house. The people and activities are great here. The only thing that I would wish for is more activities on the weekend

Overall satisfied

We are liking the Staff and the Facility for Memory care at Avery heights( Burnham home), is bright and clean. They try not to call unless absolutely necessary, but at times we have felt out of the loop on communication. My brother was sick in January and went to the hospital with a uti ,and there wasn't the best communication with the whole ordeal, which included him going to the skilled nursing area for a short stint. The staff is genuinely caring and the Head of Burnham ( [name removed])is wonderful. I know there are activities, but I'm not always sure exactly what they are. However, I know the staff is eager to include all the residents . I believe my brother is happy there. I wish it wasn't so expensive, however! It was one of the more expensive places we considered. We are overall, satisfied, presently

Would highly recommend

All are at least a 4.5. Some may not be quite a 5 because the facility is getting old and they are trying to keep everything up. This is a great place to live. The staff goes above and beyond and the food is excellent. Folks are invited to serve on committees to help improve facilities, food and administration.

Our Experience

My mom is a resident at Avery Heights and the experience has been great. Mom says most of the food is very good. They were giving her two big meals a day. At our family meeting we asked if she could have a sandwich for dinner and that has worked better for her, along with some fruits. There are many activities to participate in, but my mom doesn't participate unless she goes to mass. I visit her nearly everyday and I know that she is being cared for.

A wonderful home for us!

My husband has moderate Alzheimer's disease. 2 plus years ago it became apparent that we needed to move from our home. We found a lovely cottage on the grounds of Avery Heights. There is a memory care section so when he needs it, we are already here!

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:

  • Know Connecticut’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection 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 communities you’re considering. Learn more about Connecticut’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
