My mother has made some great friends and she is looked after by a very caring staff. The Village at Waveny's clinical communications to me about my mom's care have been excellent.

Beautiful & great programs but Dad probably wouldn't qualify & it's too pricey for his needs. He would probably sit & watch at most.

Waveny staff getting TOP HEAVY

The staff turnover is again happening. Lots of new administrator. Lots of new private CNA/HHA/Companions. Pay to resident-touching-staff is too low. How can they pay all these administrators? Where is the Board of Directors in oversight? Losing both Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer at the same time just about GUARANTEES a major turnover problem in 2019 The only way they have 4 stars is the nice building and lack of bad smell compared to the competition.

Review of Waveny Care Center - New Canaan, CT

Everyone in the center couldn't be better. They are good, patient, lovable and very caring. It shows that they are all carefully selected to work at the facility. You would think the residents were family to them. It says it all. I doubt any place can top Waveny.

Review of Waveny Care Center - New Canaan, CT

Waveny was suggested by a good friend and expert in eldercare. She said Waveny was the BEST choice for memory care. She was right! From my first visit to the many months of care my husband has received, everyone at Waveny has been professional, positive, welcoming, supportive, creative in their caregiving. I could not ask for a better solution!
