The Village at Waveny is a senior living community in the Waveny LifeCare Network that offers assisted living, independent living, memory and dementia care, skilled nursing, respite care, hospice, and adult day programs. It has about 50 private units with all-inclusive pricing, so people don't have to worry about extra charges for most services like meals, medication management, cable TV, phone, and WiFi. There's a secured memory care unit and specific spaces for socializing, activities, dining, and relaxing, like the indoor "Main Street," activity rooms, outdoor areas, and sitting rooms with lots of light. Residents can join daily group programs such as music, art, fitness, yoga, and outings, though organized activities usually end by 4pm every day.
The facility provides help with daily living activities, three chef-prepared meals a day, and incontinence care, and staff includes licensed nurses and nursing assistants on-site at all hours, but they don't have a formal personalized dementia care program and staff may not always supervise memory-impaired residents at all times, especially in the evenings after dinner. There's a secured memory care section for safety, but individualized programs and supervision can be limited due to staffing. The Brown Geriatric Evaluation Clinic gives assessments for memory loss and other medical issues, and the Adult Day Program offers recreation, care, medication help, and respite. Access is easy, with scheduled or free transportation in lower Fairfield County, and people can take virtual tours of areas like Memory Care Studio, Studio Residence, and the One Bedroom Suite.
Meals focus on health and taste through the Waveny Culinary Experience, and the staff tries to make things comfortable and homelike, but everyone still has the help they need if living alone isn't safe anymore. Residents who don't need 24/7 skilled nursing but can't live by themselves get intermediate care. There's help for Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers, and programs for therapy and social life, including group singing, field trips, and spiritual activities. Residents and families often rate the place well, giving it a 4.3 to 4.5 star average, and reviews note satisfaction with the quality of care, though people should know there's no round-the-clock, personalized dementia supervision and programming ends in the afternoon. The Village at Waveny works hard to offer a safe and engaging setting, with special memory care living residences that focus on security, familiar routines, and a stable daily life for seniors and their families who need extra dementia support.
