About This Community

Welcome to Whitney Center, where opportunity, hospitality and value live as one.

Whitney Center is a not-for-profit senior living community that has been serving seniors since 1979 under the guidance of a local, volunteer board of directors responsible for fulfilling its mission of achieving excellence in senior living.

Located in Hamden, Connecticut, a town of more than 60,000 residents just north of New Haven. The campus occupies 15 acres near the west side of Lake Whitney. The community is nestled in a quiet park-like setting, but conveniently located near the urban center of New Haven.

Those who desire to stay involved, set new goals and reach new heights are bolstered by our active support of personal achievement. Residents are freed to pursue opportunities in culture and the arts, business, education and volunteering. This is the perfect place to find a delightful wealth of personal opportunity, and to create the active senior lifestyle you desire.

Upon the multiple visits to this facility, I noticed that what makes it stand out is its staff. The nurses and other assistants were all extremely friendly and attentive to the residents. Whenever a senior was in need of any service, someone was willing to help out. The meals are not the best, but there is a lot of variety and good hearty portions. Visitors are allowed to come on a regular basis although not many family members and friends make it often. It's very beneficial that the seniors have an environment in which they can meet others so that they aren't lonely or bored. Occasionally, the facility puts on shows and has events, such as bingo or game night.

I was very impressed with this facility. From the secretary to the President (who was very visible and accessible) my Grandmother, the residents and all visitors were treated with such respect and kindness. I very much looked forward to my visits and my Grandmother loved being here because she met so many great friends. There were also always activities going on throughout the day such as games of chess, trips to local shops and weekly movie nights. I also really enjoyed the food. It was served in a fine dining room where the waitstaff wore tuxedo shirts and bow ties and the food was very high quality. If there ever were any issues the waitstaff, hostess and manager would all make themselves visible and would accomodate any special requests.It was an expensive facility, but it provides you with so many great opportunities and experiences. There is a pool, library, store, bank and even a hair salon all on the premises. There is also a health-care unit which is staffed with many able nurses. This was an empowering community for my Grandmother and I am so glad that she was able to stay here and that I had the privilege of spending time with her and all the wonderful staff.
