The Greens at Cannondale sits on an eleven-acre campus in Wilton, Connecticut, which has been serving seniors for over 30 years and brings together assisted living, memory care, nursing and rehab, and geriatric assessment programs all in one place, so folks can age in place and get the care they need as things change for them, and here, people find suites, studios, one-bedroom, and semi-private rooms, with furnished options and housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning provided, and there's someone always around since the staff is there 24 hours a day. The place has outdoor and indoor common areas, walking paths, gardens, and a room for movie nights, along with plenty of planned activities, both inside and outside the building, plus a big dining room where meals are available all day, and the chef and meal planners handle special diets, so most people can find things they like and need to eat, along with anytime snacks. There are amenities like a barber and beautician onsite, a private phone in each room, and transportation and parking services, and pets are allowed, which makes things feel more like home for a lot of folks. The place offers support with personal care, like help with bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication, with medication care managers and medication technicians to make sure everything's right, and if someone needs help with diabetes, pain, wound care, or even mechanical lifts for transfers, there are skilled nurses on hand day and night, plus visiting doctors and therapists, so the health needs get covered.
The building's designed with safety in mind, and this means things like a 24-hour call and alert system, bracelets that alarm if a memory care resident tries to leave, and extra care for people who tend to wander or get confused, and there's a secure memory care area that's separate, with its own programs to help folks with Alzheimer's or dementia feel safer and less anxious. There's support for people with bowel or bladder issues, as well as those considered elopement risks, and for those who have more difficult behaviors-since care levels can go from light to heavy-the staff tailor plans so each person gets just what they need, and there's always move-in coordination to try to make things easier at the start.
Programs include arts, fitness, social enrichment, certified music therapy, and devotional services both onsite and offsite, and the schedule keeps most folks busy and helps boost their mood and well-being, while families often say the staff are joyful and helpful, and the overall mood is friendly and respectful. Meals get prepared with care and the dining team pays attention to taste and nutrition, and there are registered dietitians and therapists to work with both body and mind, even providing mental health services and geriatric assessments. The Greens at Cannondale also handles hospice and respite care, and has programs for short-term rehab or home care by trained aides if needed. People with pets can keep them close, and parking's available for those who still drive. Assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing are all part of what's offered, and the campus includes Wilton Meadows Rehabilitation and Health Care Center and Nuvance Health's Geriatric Assessment Program, so families don't have to look elsewhere as care needs change-they can stay in the same friendly environment with lots of activities and a focus on treating everyone with dignity and respect, and the awards the place has received, like the Best of Senior Living All Star Award, show that families and residents appreciate the care and services provided here.
