They way I learned is that "Betsy" a Wellington manager went into the apartment and dug through piles of junk and papers to find the important legal documents. And that was just the beginning of her efforts which included moving, cleaning and contacting people. Who does that, based on loyalty and a dedication to the care-taking profession. I am so appreciative of the efforts of the Wellington team AFTER their tenant was gone. I know that nobody picks a retirement home based on what happens after death, but they should because that period is very stressful and time critical. As a surviving party, the support of Betsy and her staff was priceless and deserves my highest praise.

I would not recommend this facility for several reasons, one of which is based on the inability to…read morecommunicate information in a timely manner, regarding the wellbeing of family members entrusted to the care of this facility. Our family member was a resident in the memory care unit of the Wellington for a brief period of time, approximately two months, and we can only share our experiences during this time, and it may be different for other residents and their family members. Our family member had one private aide upon entering this facility, which we had to increase to three private aides to ensure their safety, proper care and assistance with daily tasks. Our family member endured repeated falls while under the care of this facility, several of which required further care and assessment at a local hospital/E.R. The initial tour presented as a positive, thriving, fulfilling environment that would promote care and comfort for residents experiencing this debilitating illness, which was not our family's shared experience. We did not witness shared programming or exercise activities in any of the community areas with residents, to promote wellness of mind or body. When our family made inquiries, requested clarification on specific situations, or requested meetings, there was consistent delayed responses that our inquiries had been forwarded to the appropriate staff, which only added to the lapse in time while waiting for responses. Each situation that came up, when inquiries were made by family members, they were responded to by either tasking us with further steps that we needed to take or accusations, but no accountability or action from the facility or offer of support for families. We understand that this disease/illness can present such varied needs, as it is as different as each individual afflicted, it is an unpredictable illness, but when your family member is having falls almost daily/weekly, or that they are consistently left in wet clothing or wet bedding, you do have questions/concerns or inquiries. We understood the needs of our family member who was a resident at this facility, which is why we also hired private aides, and did not task the facility with the full responsibility of our family member's needs, care. Again, each situation is different, needs are different, and this was our experience during this brief stay, which may not be shared by current residents and their family members. Our family member did not have a positive experience, we did not have a positive experience, while entrusting our family member to the care of the Wellington and their staff, and we feel they failed at their tasks that were presented at the onset of our initial inquiries regarding residency. We had the same expectations of this facility and staff that we demanded from ourselves, and we feel that this facility did not live up to the task, bordering on neglect. Staff was not properly trained in daily care, hygiene or cleanliness of resident and their living space. Many times our family members were tasked with the cleaning of this shared room. Staff was not properly trained in how to communicate detailed information regarding residents, how a residents overnight went, how their meals were received, did they eat, or how to communicate with the residents who were at different stages of Dementia. We received several reports of residents who were "yelled" at, not treated well, with dignity and respect that they so richly deserve. It is extremely scary to think that our elderly are treated in such a manner by others who are supposedly trained in this field, lacking compassion, respect and the elderly are completely shrugged off and set aside, sometimes pumped with a sedative recommended by staff, to keep them from displaying their own unique personality. It's sad to think that this is the way of the future regarding eldercare.

My grandpa was the talk of the town, wooing all the little old nuns who live here. That's right - it's where nuns go to retire.

They pray for our family and take my grandma out shopping when she needs help. I can't thank them enough. The little apartments are bigger than places I've rented for more money, and everyone has it looking just like you can imagine their old houses used to look, or clean and plain like nuns usually do.

It is unique not only in the A+ care that all residents receive, but the Little Sisters of the Poor truly live their mission, "to care for the Elderly Poor" with Love, Joy and Respect. Every resident I have come to know absolutely Loves living at the Residence. Their lives are filled with joy which is clearly evident whenever you visit. As one resident says, "St. Joseph's Residence is like living on the Good Ship Lollipop, without ever leaving port". As a result, our family members live longer, happier lives. That is a testament to the Care they receive and the sense of belonging - a sense of Family and being in their own home. I highly recommend St. Josephs Residence for the Elderly Poor. A facility that consistently, year after year, receives a 5-star rating from the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health and Nursing Home Oversight.
