The Residence at Glastonbury sits on sprawling acres with big old trees and plenty of wide-open sky, and the grounds look neat and pleasant, which helps give the place a calm, comfortable feeling that people seem to appreciate. The community offers several levels of care-independent living for folks who don't need much help at all, assisted living for those who want help with things like bathing, dressing, or medications, memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and even skilled nursing for higher care needs, along with home care and respite care options if someone only needs a temporary stay. The building has common rooms, activity rooms, private dining rooms, a regular dining area, quiet living spaces, bedrooms, and studio apartments, plus patios and bathrooms, all laid out to make life easier for residents. There's an adult day care center, too, for people who might need help during the day but not around the clock. Keepsake Village and Reflections Memory Care are two of their special areas made just for residents with memory problems, and all the care associates are certified by the National Institute for Dementia Education. The Hearth Premier Senior Living & Memory Care group runs the place, and staff are trained to be helpful and friendly, hiring hospitality specialists and keeping a strong caregiver-to-resident ratio, though sometimes they could use more help during the evenings.
The Residence at Glastonbury prides itself on cleanliness, using state-of-the-art anti-viral and anti-bacterial cleaning systems called Viking Pure Solutions, and they even offer Wi-Fi and high-speed internet so folks can keep in touch and enjoy a bit of the modern world. The community welcomes pets, provides fully furnished apartments for those who want a simpler move, and lets people bring in their own decorations if that's what they'd prefer. Daily life can include activities, social events, and even some virtual reality adventures for those interested, with a packed calendar to keep everyone busy or let them explore new things. For those who need medical support, staff can help with oxygen, give injections, crush medications, and handle medication management. Caregivers will walk with residents, assist with toileting, and help with other personal needs as required, always following personalized care plans made for each individual. The kitchen staff prepares meals focused on balanced nutrition, using quality ingredients to make sure everyone stays healthy. Staff are present around the clock, seven days a week, and they try to keep a family-like, professional atmosphere-coordinating care with outside providers if necessary and always striving to meet the changing needs of the people who live there. People can schedule a tour to see daily life, meals, and activities if they're interested in learning more about the place without any pressure.
