Stonebrook Village at Windsor Locks sits in a pretty residential area with tree-lined streets, landscaped yards, and single-family homes and townhouses with roomy layouts, and people 55 and older can live here with some pets allowed, so you've got a nice mix of neighbors and plenty of space. The community opened in October 2016, and it's part of the Everbrook Senior Living family, licensed by the state and regularly reviewed for quality. There are 112 apartments-studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms-each with its own heating and cooling controls, some with full kitchens and balconies, like those bigger two-bedroom units at about 1,165 square feet, and there's even semi-private and studio units for people who want something smaller.
The neighborhood's got a clubhouse, bistro dining, computer area, arts and crafts room, and an actual swimming pool for folks who want to relax or get some exercise, plus resident parking, outdoor patios, and gardens for those who like to sit outside or work with plants. There's a game room, a library, and even a community theater for events, like movie nights, a Senior Prom, and special nights at the opera, bringing people together. Inside, rooms have wired cable, high-speed internet, and kitchenettes, and there are common areas for gathering and indoor activities like bingo, book clubs, brain teasers, music, and arts programs as a part of their Life-Enrichment Activities Program (LEAP).
For people working on staying healthy, Stonebrook Village has a certified exercise physiologist who leads exercise programs made for older adults, and their wellness plans follow the Wellness-4 Later Life® model-covering not just physical health, but spiritual, mental, social, and environmental wellness too, and even vocational and intellectual programs. People have the option of independent living, assisted living, and specialized memory care, all with personal care services such as help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders, housekeeping, laundry, and companionship, plus doctor appointment companions. There are on-site health services, like scheduled visits from physical and occupational therapists, help with walking or using a wheelchair, blood work, and mental health support, and there's 24-hour supervision for those who need it. The Egis Memory Care program and monthly Dementia & Alzheimer's Family Support Group both try to add a sense of routine and comfort for folks with memory loss and offer family support, and respite care is available as well for shorter stays.
Dining services offer meals with special diets in mind, like low-fat, vegetarian, or low-salt, and there are religious services available offsite for those who need them, plus a spa and wellness room for relaxation. The staff go through reference and driving checks, and they use safety equipment like Hoyer lifts for transfers, so mobility gets special attention, with medication managed as needed. Stonebrook's residents often enjoy taking part in off-site events, outdoor walks, biking, or fishing near the Windsor Locks State Canal Trail or spots along the Connecticut River, and there's both free and paid transportation options so people can get out and stay involved.
Stonebrook Village's overall goal is to let people stay as independent as they can, with support when needed, and with a good variety of events and activities to keep people busy and connected, whether it's crafts, gardening, story time, or joining a musical group, so there's a steady sense of activity and companionship, and their 2025 Best of Senior Living award from A Place for Mom shows they're recognized among the top senior care communities in the United States and Canada.
