Connect55+ Manchester | A New 55 Plus Active Senior Living Community sits at 140 Spencer Street, Manchester, CT 06040, in a spot close to highways, shopping, dining, parks, and other local attractions, so people can get where they need to go easily, and the place is surrounded by green spaces, flowers, and walking paths, which makes things pleasant. The community is still being built, expected to open in early fall, and has units available soon, including 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom options, with square footage ranging from 637 to 1,037 square feet, plus units for those who need ADA features and ones that come with decks, so there's some variety for different needs, and prices for these units go from $1,555 to $1,765. The apartments have in-unit washers and dryers, air conditioning, microwaves, dishwashers, and handrails, which makes daily life easier, and every apartment is cable-ready and set up for high-speed internet, so residents can stay connected with friends, family, or just relax with a good show.
The community's designed for active seniors over 55, and people who want to keep living independently but might need some help with daily activities now and then, offering support with things like medication reminders, personal care, and housekeeping when needed, while also having wellness checks and full-time maintenance so folks don't have to worry about repairs or health questions. There are social events, classes, and group activities on-site, like movie nights in the comfortable theater with leather chairs and old movie posters on the walls, and a fitness center and walking trails, plus hobby rooms and a clubhouse where people can meet new friends or try new things, so there's a sense of belonging and something to do each day if someone wants to join in.
The staff is known to be friendly, with a property manager and an activity coordinator who help keep things running and plan events, and the place is pet-friendly, which is good for those with animal companions. Although the community doesn't provide meals or function as a nursing home, it does offer access to a wide range of care, like home health care, memory care, adult day services, hospice care, respite care for short-term needs, and both independent living and assisted living, so residents can get the right help if things change. The buildings are new and modern, and there's an onsite salon for hair and beauty services, along with a dining and activity room overlooking a patio, which makes it easier to spend time with others or relax in a bright space. Everything's managed by Calamar, and the focus is on a low-maintenance, active lifestyle with enough care and support to help seniors live how they want, so people can enjoy their retirement years without too much hassle or worry.
