My meeting with the Admissions Director, [removed name], of the Village at East Farms Waterbury was very informative. She listened to my concerns and needs for my wife and guided me in the right direction...even though it was not specifically toward the East Farms Assisted Living community. The Village at East Farms is a very nice and immaculately clean facility. The staff were all friendly and inviting. I would enjoy living there myself. However, my wife needs a nursing home that can handle her advancing dementia related problems.

Would Recommend for the Friendly Staff

The staff (administrative and on the floor) is strong, the place is really in great shape, and it's nice to see how well known my dad is to the team even after just a couple of weeks. A few times we've dropped in, he was just in front of the TV, and while I know it's not possible to be doing activities all the time (of course) I hope there are sometimes when they are doing more than just watching TV.

I would give our entire experience at Village Crossings a 5. The staff from top bottom is exceptional. I can't say enough positive things about each and every one of them. The facility is clean, there are activities almost all day long every day. Any needs or questions are addressed immediately by the staff. I would highly recommend this facility. Of course I wish the price wasn't what it is, but care is expensive.
