Progress Point Apartments at 21 Laurel Drive in New London, Connecticut, is a senior living community that has different living options for older adults, like independent senior apartments, assisted living, and specialized care for people with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, and you'll see they have environments set up to help reduce confusion and keep residents from wandering, which people dealing with that sort of memory loss can really need. There are two-bedroom units with hardwood floors and the comfort of in-unit laundry hookups and dishwashers, which makes daily life simpler, and each apartment comes with a full basement for storage, which can help when you've got more things than space usually allows. The property is in a quiet, walkable neighborhood with some nice, seasonal landscaping outside, and being close to six cafes, nine parks, ten pharmacies, lots of restaurants, one theater, and three hospitals makes it quite convenient, especially if someone likes to get out or needs regular health appointments.
Residents can park on the street, use accessible parking or even rent a garage spot, which you don't always see in these places, and accessible features like elevators, wheelchair ramps, and easy-to-use walkways are built in for safety. There's a 24-hour maintenance team from Carabetta Management who handles problems as they come up so you don't have to worry about it, and they're always ready if something needs fixing late at night or during the day. The apartments are pet-friendly, and you'll see folks with cats, dogs, birds, fish, and even lizards, because that's allowed here, and some seniors like that kind of company.
Being part of the A Place For Mom network, the place has resources for families who might want to look at places nearby, and Progress Point links up with other care options in Waterford and New London, like Atria Crossroads Place for assisted living, Roncalli Health Center, Seniors Helping Seniors for home care, Fairview, Camelot Nursing and Rehab, Nutmeg Pavilion, and the AHEPA 250 II apartments, which gives people choices if their needs change.
If you're the sort of person who likes to stay active, there's an activity director, regular outings and field trips, a beauty salon for grooming, and all sorts of amenities like devotional services and shared activities, and the community welcomes people age 55 or older who want an active, safe place to live. Meals and dining options are here for those who need them, and health care services are available if you start needing more help. The monthly rent for a two-bedroom sits at $832, which is worth knowing up front. There are nursing homes, memory care facilities, doctors, and other help nearby, so you really are right in the middle of things if you have health needs.
