Review for Avery Heights

The staff is very friendly, the apartment is spacious, bright and clean. There are plenty of activities and the food is great. The only downside fall so far is the lack of communication. We've asked for assistance for my mother via email through one of the nursing staff, it went unanswered and I've called and left a message and a week went by with no response.

Avoid

I cannot recommend Avery Heights based on my family's experience. My mother suffers from Lewy Body dementia, one of the most challenging and heartbreaking conditions a family can face. When we first met with Avery Heights, we were given what seemed like a compassionate, empathetic sales presentation.

Feels like a family

They have caring staff, positive vibe and they are responsive to family. I would highly recommend them to others who are searching for a place for their loved one.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

We found a place for my parents at Avery Heights in Hartford. They moved into their assisted living facility. It seems very great and cheerful. The staff seems very, very friendly and helpful. I know they have a library, and I think they also have a book group. My parents are not involved yet, but my mom likes to knit, and I think they have a knitting club or something. They offer movies, too. The food was really good. We went a couple of times and had lunch, and it was delicious. The dining room is cheerful and br…

Would not recommend

Our loved one is no longer there, but what they could have improved on was paying attention to her and following through on my request.
