Just Like Home Residential Care Homes, LLC

Just Like Home Residential Care Homes, LLC runs small senior living homes in quiet neighborhoods in Shelton, Connecticut, with locations at 62 Dogwood Drive and 757 Long Hill Ave, and they focus on both assisted living and memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's. These homes hold only six or seven residents each, so everyone gets lots of attention, and with two caregivers for every six or seven residents-like Jennifer Mcconnell, Laura Muhammad, Theresa Trombino, and Tricia Frey-people get round-the-clock support, help with daily activities like bathing or dressing, medication management by trained caregivers, and help for those with Parkinson's or behavior issues. The homes have private, fully furnished rooms with en-suite bathrooms, flat screen TVs, and all the needed linens, plus air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, emergency call systems, and walk-in showers, and the whole place is built on one level for easy movement. Meals come prepared for all diets, including allergies and diabetes, and there's all-day dining, laundry, and housekeeping, while residents can spend time on the big backyard deck birdwatching or relaxing in the gardens, enjoy movie nights, scheduled activities, or join in household chores like setting the table, gardening, and helping with decisions, because being involved helps keep folks feeling capable. There's a secured memory care unit, scheduled transportation for appointments, and the homes welcome small pets, which makes things more comfortable. Respite care is offered for short stays, hospice and dementia waiver services are supported, and everything runs on a clear, all-inclusive pricing plan. Everything works to feel like a true home, and the whole setup follows higher state standards for dementia care, making these places stand out as some of the only small private-pay dementia care homes licensed like this in Connecticut. The Dogwood Home opened in January 2023 and has already gotten good feedback, with an average rating of 4.89 out of 27 reviews, and there are lots of photos showing what life looks like there, from comfortable private rooms to the inviting community spaces and gardens, and people say you can see the care that goes into keeping the place clean, safe, and feeling like home.
