Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull sits in a quiet Trumbull neighborhood surrounded by wildlife preserve and has been a steady part of Fairfield County for over 20 years, where the main entrance shows off white siding, red brick accents, and a covered portico, and around the building you'll find landscaped gardens, patios, walking paths, and a courtyard with shady spots and an evergreen tree. Folks here can pick from many floor plans, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom private apartments, and these have kitchenettes, private bathrooms, walk-in closets, and even some patios. Memory care suites come ready with a queen-sized bed, nightstand, dresser, chair, dark blue curtains, and artwork on the walls, and that memory care wing is in its own secure and comfortable building made to protect people from wandering while giving hands-on support for residents with dementia or other memory-related conditions. Middlebrook Farms offers choices for independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing care, rehabilitation, and even respite care for short stays, and their skilled care wing steps in when someone needs more medical supervision than assisted living can give.
Nurses work on-site and a doctor is on call, and staff stay available night and day, trained to handle behavioral issues and provide all kinds of help, from bathing and dressing to insulin injections and medication management, even using mechanical lifts when needed. There's a lot of focus on letting residents stay as their needs grow, so nobody has to move out when care needs go up. They welcome cats and dogs, run pet therapy and pet-focused programs, and happily let residents keep their animals in their apartments, while the outdoor common areas, courtyards, and gardens give space for walks, fresh air, and socializing. Middlebrook Farms gives people weekly housekeeping, laundry, and linen service, plus meal choices like restaurant-style dining, room service, and private dining rooms for gatherings, with chef-prepared seasonal menus and plenty of special diets covered, such as gluten-free, low sodium, or low sugar. Residents can use computer stations, Wi-Fi, a library for reading, a salon, hair and barber shop, fitness center, and a therapy pool that's part of their rehabilitation center for exercise or recovery.
Scheduled trips, free rides to appointments, and transportation help are part of daily life, while on-site and offsite spiritual or devotional services cover many needs. The activity calendar stays packed with options: stretching classes, Tai Chi, yoga, art and cooking classes, Wii bowling, karaoke, trivia, gardening clubs, brain fitness, intergenerational programs, movies, parties, and outings for shopping or events. The staff help engage everyone through community service programs, community events, even links to health library tools and resources for planning care. Middlebrook Farms uses clear signage throughout the building, has large rooms for socializing, and maintains both interior and exterior social spaces, so there's always a spot to sit, talk, or join a group activity, whether inside by the fire or outside in the fresh air. Resident parking is available, and there's support for appointment scheduling too, with a friendly, helpful staff known for being welcoming and kind. Medication management, emergency and behavioral health services, and close connections to local hospitals and universities also stand out.
Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull is part of Benchmark Senior Living, and while it's known for clean, comfortable surroundings and award-winning care in both assisted living and memory care, residents spend their days with active living in mind, whether that means joining an outing, working on a puzzle, taking a stroll on the walking paths, relaxing in the sunlit dining room, sitting in the cozy library, or simply watching the wildlife outside.
