My MIL moved in 6 weeks ago and is thriving!!! She had lived by herself in a condo with very nice neighbors-but this is so much better!!! Mom gets socialization every single day. She has become involved in the choir, Wii bowling, Rumikub tournaments, movie nights, flower arranging and even the exercise classes. Her cognitive abilities are the best we’ve seen in at least 9 months! And the best part, I can sleep at night knowing she is safe and happy! Great, attentive staff really makes Mom feel at home and she doesn’t have to wait for help!

I'm a musician who performs often at Suffield by the River which is one of my favorite places to perform. Each time I enter their facility I feel at home with the residents and staff. Working with Nancy Crommett, the Resident Engagement Director, is wonderful. Every interaction with her is friendly and professional. Nancy is a joy to work with, and I always look forward to our next performance.
