The Village at Buckland Court sits on a quiet 10-acre property in South Windsor, Connecticut, tucked beside farmland, and the place gives off a peaceful, country estate feeling, with walking paths, gardens, a gazebo, and even an herb garden where folks can sit or stroll when the weather's nice. The community has different apartment choices like studios, one-bedrooms, and semi-private rooms, with private patios or balconies to enjoy the view and plenty of natural light in the bedrooms. Inside, you'll find indoor and outdoor common areas, a sitting room with a piano, a billiards room, art gallery, computer lab, salon and barbershop, library, and a resident lounge with comfortable seating, a fireplace, a TV, and a game table. There's a community kitchen used for cooking activities and a private dining room for family gatherings.
Residents get meals in a restaurant-style dining room, can order room service, and there's a 24-hour snack bar for whenever someone gets hungry. The kitchen handles special diets like gluten-free, low-sodium, low or no sugar, vegan, and vegetarian, and sometimes they even have cooking demonstrations and wine tastings. The community supports seniors through independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, adult day care, skilled nursing, and even offers the chance to stay as care needs grow, so folks don't have to move if their health changes.
Staff include nurses, RNs, LPNs, and caregivers who stay awake and onsite all night, and they help with everything from medication management and personal care to blood sugar checks, insulin shots, transfers, and mobility, including folks who use wheelchairs or need help with activities like bathing or grooming. There's equipment like mechanical lifts and wandering prevention bracelets to help keep residents safe, and the memory care area is in its own building with extra security for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the community can accept people who might wander or have challenging behaviors.
The place welcomes both cats and dogs, and there's staff to help care for the animals as well as the people. There's a full-time activity director and lots to do every week: stretching, yoga, brain fitness, art classes, karaoke, Wii Bowling, gardening, trivia, trips outside, intergenerational events with kids, community service, and devotional services both onsite and offsite for those who want them. The Village at Buckland Court says it wants residents to stay as independent as possible, with help only when it's needed, and it's part of the Benchmark Senior Living Group, which means the place sticks to basic standards of senior care and comfort, giving people a living choice with support and community right in the middle of South Windsor.
