Seabury Active Life Plan Community in Bloomfield, Connecticut, has served older adults since 1992 and offers several kinds of senior care, including independent living, assisted living, enhanced living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation, so if someone wants to age in place-that is, remain in the same community even as care needs change-Seabury can accommodate that. This nonprofit community sits on a well-kept campus with walking trails, landscaped gardens like the Fran Perkins Arboretum, and comfortable outdoor spaces. Residents will find a swimming pool, spa, fitness center, and plenty of indoor and outdoor spots meant for socializing, such as activity rooms and common areas. The Collamore Wing, a newer, three-story, 43,000-square-foot addition, has 24 large independent apartments and covered parking spaces. Over the years, smaller units have been combined into more spacious homes, and the common areas were recently renovated to feel modern and comfortable.
Seabury offers a busy activities calendar, with classes, exercise programs tailored for each care level, wellness workshops, onsite devotional services, and opportunities for rich cultural and educational engagement, with most independent residents taking part in programs and events. There's a strong fitness and wellness culture, and the staff is known for being helpful, upbeat, and attentive, often going above and beyond with things like singing and movie events. Residents have access to nutritious meals, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, shopping outings, transportation, covered parking, and a resident portal plus in-house TV channels. Seabury makes a point to foster community and independence-folks often form lasting friendships through all these social activities.
This community supports many medical and care needs. It has round-the-clock nurses on-site and staff available at all times, including awake overnight care. It accepts residents who need non-ambulatory or diabetic care, as well as those with memory issues-there's a secure memory care building for Alzheimer's and dementia, with special programs focused on safety and familiarity. Seabury staff assists with transfers and medication management, offers incontinence care (for those able to manage it themselves), can provide hospice and respite care, and has visiting health professionals like nurses, podiatrists, and therapists. Connections to the Hartford HealthCare Clinic and its own wellness clinic give residents more health resources.
Payment comes from private pay, veterans' benefits, Social Security, and private insurance-with a community fee, a buy-in fee, and no extra monthly charges for different care levels. Residents must be at least 50 years old, and there are housing options such as studios, semi-private rooms, and two-bedrooms. The Fran Perkins Arboretum, fitness center, walking trails, swimming pool, and gardens offer a place to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. Seabury holds recognitions like Best of Senior Living and All Star status, and the nonprofit takes pride in a solid record of quality care, resident satisfaction, and long-standing service to the local region. With its blend of modern amenities, diverse care options, active lifestyle programming, and a focus on independence and safety, Seabury gives residents a comfortable place to live, connect, and receive care as their needs change.
