Commonwealth Senior Living at Haddam

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

Avoid this facility if possible. The building is beautiful and clean; however, the residents are not well taken care of and at times ignored. My mom has lived here for the past 3 years, and due to circumstances, that resulted in her needing more assistance, I had to move her out. Every day since she has left and is in a new facility, she THANKS me for getting her out of here. She (and many others) complained about the food being tough and not fresh. These issues were brought up during meetings, but nothing was ever…

Horrible place to put your loved one!

AVOID this place if possible. My mother was a resident here for 3 years and at first (when it was Saybrook at Haddam) it was great. The food was freshly cooked, and the staff was nice. Since Commonwealth took over about a year ago, it has gone downhill. The food they serve now is NOT freshly cooked, it's from an institutional food service and is most times inedible. My mom constantly complained that the fish was dried up, the chicken was so tough you couldn't cut it and there was no fresh fruit or veggies. Due to…

I visited this facility

I toured Commonwealth Senior Living at Haddam. It was a very good tour. They had a couple of units available, and they showed them all to us. They would have worked out because they offered more services. It was a very pretty location. The facilities were very nice. We saw people doing all different kinds of things, and the staff was very pleasant. Everybody we spoke to was very nice and accommodating. And the cook came out to meet us and asked if we had questions. It was very nice. The apartments were very nice. T…

I visited this facility

We went to Commonwealth Senior Living at Haddam. It was very good. The facility itself was beautiful. It was spotless and well-staffed. The people that we met were all very, very nice. The units were very, very nice. We looked at a studio and a single room and they were actually really, really nice. They got everything you would need.

Review for The Saybrook at Haddam

They're just after the money. They don't hire enough staff in the dining room. The food is not very good but they won't invest in a good chef. Half the time my loved oneleaves there hungry and I have to buy snacks. We picked this community, because it was close and they made it sound so good. It's decorated so nicely and I really liked it. I had no idea that some of the aides were so mean.

I toured this facility and it was great! They didn't offer the level of care I wanted to prepare for should my loved one need it, so due to that not our first choice. But in general, high scores for them!
