Fenway Place sits at 26-28 Fenway Street in West Hartford, CT, and it has different types of care for older adults, including independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, skilled nursing, and home care, so people can choose what fits best for their needs, and the community's got spaces named Fenway Place, 16 Fenway Place, and Canterbury, making it pretty clear where you are, and you'll also find one-bedroom units with a monthly cost of $1,200 for folks who'd like their own space. The staff's known for being helpful, joyful, and kind, with awards like Best of Senior Living, All-Star, Best Activities, Most Friendly, and Best Meals and Dining, and they do a good job making everyone feel welcome-including visitors and even pets like cats and dogs. People can bring their pets, enjoy chef-prepared meals, and get support with things like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, and there's a beauty salon on-site plus full-time activities that keep the days busy with outings, craft projects, storytelling, artist showcases, participatory events for children and teens, and field trips, all run through a busy activity schedule overseen by the activity director.
The place also has the Town Hall Auditorium, Millard Auditorium, and Roberts Theater where they hold events like concerts, performances, and music nights, and you'll see unique programs with interesting names, like "A Connecticut Yankee: The Musical," "Art for Autism," and "Rock The Revolution," along with community options like the Middle School Spring Dance, tag sales, and open mic nights. You'll find workshops for diabetes management, legal services, and instruction on things like recycling, plus you'll see features that support independence for the residents, with amenities focused on comfort and safety, and people can head to nearby restaurants, shops, and parks for even more options. There's friendly community involvement with programs like Friends of Fernway, Settlement Story, and Good Times, and services even include dispensary sales of Vapes, Joints, and Smokes through retail dispensaries along with recycling locations for Fernway cartridges, Travelers, and STYLUSes, plus shop sections with apparel, hats, and accessories that might be of interest to some. Whether taking part in educational activities, craft demonstrations, music or storytelling, or getting a meal prepared by someone who knows what they're doing in the kitchen, there's always a focus on keeping people engaged, supported, and feeling at home, and it seems Fenway Place puts real effort into making sure seniors get what they need, with activities and care that go beyond just the basics, including support for folks living with dementia who might need extra help to stay safe and settled, and there's always a brochure ready for anyone who wants more details or to talk with a senior living advisor.
