Belden Forest Court Inc sits at 40 Firetown Rd in Simsbury, Connecticut, and offers a variety of living options for seniors, so people can choose from independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and respite care depending on what they need at each stage of life, and what stands out is how people living here have a chance at a maintenance-free lifestyle because things like housekeeping, linen service, snow removal, rubbish and recycling, laundry, and even lawn care are all taken care of by the community and included in the monthly condo fee, meaning residents don't have to worry about those chores anymore. The community is made up of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, all set in a condominium style with a monthly fee that also covers water, heat, electricity, washers, dryers, and even property insurance, which can give some peace of mind to people who want simple, accessible living, and they have parking and extra storage space available too, which helps, especially if you want to keep a few more things you've collected over the years.
Residents get emergency call buttons in every unit, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in place, and there's a full-time director overseeing the day-to-day, so help is always close by. Seniors who want to stay active can join in on a busy calendar of social programs and entertainment, with group transportation available for shopping trips or events in town, and if you prefer a quiet day, the well-kept grounds give you a peaceful place to walk or relax. Meals focus on taste and presentation, and you get a private kitchen in your unit if you want to make your own food.
Belden Forest Court Inc has skilled nursing care for those who need it, including rehabilitation and wound care, and in memory care, there are programs and activities meant to help keep minds sharp for seniors living with dementia, with 24-hour support to keep everyone safe and comfortable, while assisted living covers help with daily tasks, medication, meals, dressing, bathing, and personal care. The community also offers respite care, which means primary caregivers can get a break and know their loved one has support even if they're only staying for a short while, and there are home care services available too for non-medical help at home. Some units are set up as care homes, where people share a home and have a caregiver living in with them, which can feel like a neighborhood. There are also simple senior apartments for those who want nothing fancy, just accessibility and a place to call their own.
The community often offers expert advice and resources about long-term care, family caregiving, and insurance, and people say the nursing care here is strong, making it a practical choice for those looking for an alternative to traditional nursing homes, even though each person's needs and preferences may be different. There's a 5.0 rating from one review, but it's a good idea to visit and decide for yourself what the place is like and whether it suits your needs, because no place is perfect for everyone, though Belden Forest Court Inc does try to make things welcoming and comfortable for seniors who want convenience, safety, and some extras in their retirement years.
