StoneRidge Senior Living sits on 33 acres at 186 Jerry Browne Road in Stonington and has been around since 2004, and folks can find nearly 270 apartments for seniors with floor plans from one-bedroom units with 720 square feet to two-bedrooms up to 1,800 square feet, making it so people can pick a space that works for them, and there are also studio options. The building's a mid-rise, single-story type, but there are lots of common spaces-over 140,000 square feet-with things like dining rooms, a woodworking studio, a maker space, and a fitness center, and with pets allowed and handicap access, it feels open to many people. The grounds stay green and lush, giving residents a nice place to walk or sit.
StoneRidge offers independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care all within one community, with services through Avalon Health Center and what they call Life Care Services, so if someone starts more active and later needs more help, they can stay in the same community under the Life Plan model, which gives access to higher levels of care on campus-including long-term care, short-term rehab, respite, and hospice. StoneRidge calls its special services things like LCS Signature Programs and Assistance-In-Living, and the Memory Care wing helps people with dementia or Alzheimer's with round-the-clock supervision, secure areas, and programs to keep the mind active. Board and care homes on the property serve smaller groups in a home-like setting, while continuing care retirement community (CCRC) features mean someone can age in place and transition between care levels as needed, sometimes with something called a "life-care" contract that locks in a discounted rate for assisted living if needed.
StoneRidge has about 44 floor plan options and plans to add 70 more apartments, including 54 new ones for independent living and 14 with enhanced services for assisted living, part of a $40 million expansion. Meals get prepared with health in mind, and choices match various diets, plus dining stays easy and social. People join in on daily activities and events, which the community says cover social, physical, mental, and emotional health, and there are always things planned for residents to do. Regular tours show real life, dining, and programs to those curious about joining, and the environment's bright and inviting.
Safety and security matter here, with staff on call 24/7, and all services adjust to personal needs, aiming to help residents stay as independent as possible but step in with support when health or mobility makes it hard to do things alone. Skilled nursing includes rehab and wound care, and there's support in memory care for those needing extra help.
Unique to StoneRidge, there's a set of services focused on digital content and publishing, so residents or organizations can turn static files into flipbooks, magazines, or lookbooks, use Canva and Adobe InDesign, share and embed content across platforms, use QR codes, track stats, and collaborate as a team. These services apply across fields like art, marketing, education, real estate, and more, offering tools for digital portfolios, photo albums, or catalogs. Digital content can be sold as single issues or by subscription, commission-free, and features include adding videos and GIFs to highlight special work.
Residents use a portal to access resources, check the campus map, see events, or connect with staff. The campus stays focused on hassle-free living, healthy meals, and activities to keep life full and active. StoneRidge stays one of several area options that combine assisted living, memory care, and other services for seniors needing different kinds of support, all on property appraised at $34.2 million.
