Elderly Housing Management

Elderly Housing Management, located in Groton, Connecticut, provides a range of senior living options and services for older adults and people with disabilities, and you'll find both "The Cottages" at 201 Elm Street and "The Congregate" at 205 Elm Street offering a mix of independent living, assisted living, and board and care home services, so some residents have the chance to stay in their homes and "age in place" while others get assistance as their needs change, and everything is set up on a medium-sized, quiet campus with shared garden spaces and porches for each apartment, where residents can enjoy walking paths, views over the Mystic River, and a feeling of neighborly comfort. People live in studios, one-bedrooms, or two-bedroom apartments-46 in total on a hillside-and each has a kitchen with an electric stove and refrigerator, full bathroom with tub or shower, cable TV outlets, thermostat controls, window coverings, hard-wired smoke detectors, and emergency pull cords, and some apartments are fully accessible for people using wheelchairs. Residents have daily noon meals in the shared dining room, weekly light housekeeping in every apartment, trash and laundry rooms on each floor, and a laundry and dry-cleaning service, and there's a full program of scheduled activities, arts and crafts rooms, a lounge for social events, and a beauty salon, all meant to meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of the residents, with support from a staff that's present 24 hours a day and who can provide help with bathing, dressing, medication, meals, transfer assistance, and coordination with healthcare providers as needed. The community also includes board and care homes nestled in residential neighborhoods for those who need daily support in a smaller group, and both independent living and assisted living communities offer things like maintenance-free living, social activities, optional support services, and access to community transportation to help with errands or appointments. Residents who need memory care find a secure environment designed for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, complete with memory-enhancing activities and round-the-clock medical care, including rehabilitation and wound care. The organization is nonprofit and non-sectarian, guided by a volunteer board, and provides care programs, support links, and state and federal funding, with connections to the Affordable Care Act and HRSA-supported centers, so there's a broad choice of resources from health guides and symptom checkers to behavioral health tools, emergency cards, and personalized profiles. Every apartment is smoke-free, and there's a pet policy that lets residents have small pets if they follow the Pet Policy. Extra features like visitor access cards, suicide prevention programs, care coordination cards, and user-friendly dashboards help keep things organized and safe. Residents can keep track of personal health records, set emergency alerts, and join community-sponsored social activities like gardening, movie nights, or spiritual programs, and there are spaces just for relaxing with neighbors or joining a craft session, while a transportation service gets people to local spots when they want to go out. The staff speaks English and work with care agencies to help residents stay as independent as possible, and since there are both private and shared room options, people can choose what fits best for them, and because the whole place is focused on comfort, safety, and connection, it's a good fit for seniors aged 62 and up and for those needing supportive housing due to disability or lower income, and none of it ever feels rushed or crowded because the setup really does favor peace, quiet, and a sense of belonging, whether someone's just looking for a safe home or a whole community to join.
