I toured The Village at South Farms, and it was a nice facility. However, the studio apartment is way too small. Although, it offered a lot and was very clean. The staff there was very, very congenial. The unit was very clean, but the studio apartment is smaller than a hotel room. It didn't have any kitchen area at all. You could put a microwave oven and that's about it. I'm looking for something where I can do a little cooking. It's not necessarily all the time, but occasionally. I was told that people would come in and check on you, clean your clothes, clean your apartment, and do your linens and stuff. The dining facilities there were like a top-notch restaurant. There was quite a bit of activity and would seem nice. I didn't get a chance to do any of them other than have a dish of ice cream, though.

My dad will be moving into The Village at South Farms. The staff and the residents had a lot of energy. The people seemed not only happy to live there, but the staff seemed happy to work there. They seem to care about each other. They have beautiful views of the hills. The facility is clean and homey. The rooms are nice, and there are many options, including rooms with balconies or porches. The food was great. Their head of dining is a pastry chef, so their desserts are particularly impressive and delicious. It is an older facility.

My mom has already moved into The Village at South Farms. Everything has been great so far. It's close to our home, so we can go visit her. It's very clean. The people that work there are very nice and polite. She seems to like it there. She's gone to a couple of exercise classes and some music venues that they've had. She's very satisfied with the food so far. Her room is nice. She has a one-bedroom apartment. It's very spacious, and it has a big bathroom with grab rails for assistance. So far, so good. She enjoys it. The staff has been excellent so far. She hasn't complained about anything yet. It is pricey, but you get what you pay for.

We primarily chose The Village at South Farms because it is in a location that is familiar to my mother. She will be moving there next week. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and were very quick to answer any questions we might have. They're very empathetic to my mother's situation as well. I would say the room we saw was spacious and in good condition. It has lots of available natural light.
We toured assisted living. We were in a dining room, which was very nice. It was not overly elegant. We visited the library too. I think we also went into a laundry room. Everything was very clean and well organized. I did notice raised planter boxes, which I assume are so that the residents don't have to bend over to take care of the plants. There was a very large porch with a roof and rocking chairs and benches along the perimeter of the property. It doesn't have a huge outdoor area. It was like a little covered pavilion.
We actually ate in the dining room, and we were very pleased with the meal. The servers were wonderful too.

The Village at South Farms was very nice. They had a nice lobby and there was a room on the third floor that was like a grand lounge. It was great and very impressive. I really liked the staff member that I met there. She was very good at trying to find out what the needs of my mother were. They also have a beauty salon, a library, and an entertainment area. We ended up choosing another facility for my mom because the view from the room was better than the ones The Village at South Farms has. Otherwise, she would have been comfortable there.

The Village at South Farms was fantastic, and I very much enjoyed my conversations with the staff member. She took a great interest in me, and we went around the facility very thoroughly. I saw the guests, and how neat, clean, and polite they were. There were two elevators. I saw the rooms and had exactly what I needed. I understood the fact they didn't allow open burners or electric coils. The minimum that I need is a studio apartment with a bathroom, a sit-down shower, and enough space for a bed. It had a fantastic amount of videos and DVDs and rooms for reading and carrying on social discussions. The staff was absolutely marvelous. The place was spotless and incredible.

The Village at South Farms is beautiful. My mother is happy there. The people that works there are very friendly and they all seem happy with their job. There are a lot of different things for my mother to do. The food is good and the dining area is beautiful. There is also a private dining area in case you will have a family gathering. The place is very clean, smells good, and aesthetically pleasing. My mother is taking a computer class and there is a current events thing that she is involved in. I think she went to mass there also. They have been very gracious.

The Village at South Farms was an excellent facility. It is pleasing and very clean. The tour we had was excellent - not rushed, very informative. We had a lot of questions which were answered satisfactorily. As for the activities, they were talking about their travel club at the facility while we were there. In another room, they were having discussions about the Presidents’ Week. There was some baking going on in the kitchen. The food was excellent and the dining room was fine.

My brother lived at The Village at South Farms. We chose it because they were very professional and well-staffed. They communicate on a high level and updated me on a monthly basis. They had a lot of activities, entertainment, outside trips and family events which you can check their website. So far I've had no complaints with them.

My brother-in-law is at The Village At South Farms. We chose this facility for its size, the fact that it was a smaller kind of assisted living with only 60 residents. It also looked like it had a good staff-to-patient ratio. The facility is very appealing with the friendliness of the staff and their outgoing nature. The staff is also very accommodating. What I like best about this facility is the fact that they seem to monitor my brother-in-law's everyday behavior very well, e.g., the nursing staff, the physical therapy, etc. They're very communicative. In terms of accommodations, they have very nice and very appealing rooms. They were able to accommodate my brother-in-law's wishes, e.g., being on the first floor. The food is very good. For activities, they have a pretty wide array of activities like musical entertainment, programs, movies, outtrips, etc. Overall, it is a very positive experience. At first, it was an adjustment for him but now, he is getting more and more adjusted.

We were looking for a place that my dad could have his own place, socialization and care if he needed it. He wanted to stay in Middletown where he has lived for over 40 years. After a few years of living here we were concerned with his short term memory. He was diagnosed with dementia. We were able to keep him there but transitioned him into the memory care. It has been the best decision! Great place and people!

I thought that everybody at The Village at South Farms was very nice, courteous, and happy, which is unusual. They're cheerful actually. I didn't meet the behind-the-scenes staff; I just met their director. The facility was a little pricey; however, it was a good and comfortable setting. Their rooms were of adequate size. I would recommend this place. However, including the price, I would just give them an average score.

My grandfather fell down the steps at home and got his leg broken. We ended up looking for assisted living facilities in the area. We took him to a few of the facilities located in the area, and "The Village at South Farms in Middletown, CT" by far was the best one. The facility is very well decorated and maintained making you feel as if you were in a mansion and living a fine life. There are giant chandeliers and a grand piano in the foyer which provides an elegant appeal to the place. The staff is as friendly as can be and he never had a problem with them. The residents are very well respected by staff and enjoy their company. The staff is responsible to help residents maneuver around the facility and let them participate in what ever program they would like. Everything a resident could want is available easily within the facility. The Village at South Farms has lavish gardens surrounding the facility which offers an eye catching view outside. Residents can sit outside and enjoy the natural beauty. I would recommend this facility for loved ones.
