The Adel Center sits at 1556 Saybrook Road in Haddam, Connecticut, as a residential care facility with 72 apartments, including one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and efficiency units, most with their own kitchenettes, cable, telephone, and free WiFi, plus pleasant views of landscaped grounds designed to look a bit like a bigger version of Mount Vernon, and there's visitor parking too. Everyone gets two prepared meals a day-residents can get special diets for things like diabetes, and there's wine available with dinner if that's something folks enjoy, and there's private dining space for family gatherings as well. Community spaces offer things like indoor and outdoor gathering areas, a pool table, gardens, and social activities going on most days, and the apartments come fully furnished with choices from semi-private studios to larger layouts.
Trained staff help residents with daily needs, such as bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and making sure everyone's safe and comfortable, and there's a 24-hour call system in every apartment just in case anybody needs quick help. The Adel Center has nurses overseeing personalized care plans, and if you need memory care services for Alzheimer's, dementia, or similar concerns, Safe Harbor Memory Care on-site supports up to 26 residents with memory-enhancing activities and spaces made to prevent wandering and confusion, along with full supervision around the clock. The staff follow COVID safety rules in detail and keep things clean, and there's housekeeping, laundry, linen, and maintenance included to ease daily chores.
Residents who want a bit more independence find help arranging transportation for appointments and enjoy maintenance-free living with enrichment programs, outings, and pet-friendly options, plus support if they ever need it after hospital stays, illnesses, or surgery. The Adel Center also provides skilled nursing, wound care, home care, and hospice care, and has geriatric care management as a part of its senior resources, along with legal and transportation support for those who need those kinds of things. The facility is part of New England Business Media and has been open for about 18 months, with rents usually ranging from $3,000 to over $4,000 a month depending on the apartment size and features, and right now about 11 apartments are occupied with 12 already reserved for newcomers who plan ahead. With personal routines designed to suit each resident, mental wellness programs, and many ways to connect with others or just relax outdoors, folks tend to find a safe, comfortable place to live with space for changing needs as time goes on.
