Atria, Hamilton Heights, West Hartford
This charming and impressive community is located in a beautifully restored, historic building situated in one of New England’s finest neighborhoods. Built for a wealthy family in the late 19th century, and later the Mount Saint Joseph Academy – affectionately known as “The Mount” – this marble-columned masterpiece is now home to fascinating older adults with a few tales of their own to tell.
Older adults discover abundant opportunities to enjoy a more socially connected and engaged life – including dinner outings at the West Hartford Center or impromptu shopping trips to nearby Blue Back Square.
Engage Life® ,their signature events and activities program, helps residents stay active with yoga and tai chi classes, arts workshops and volunteer opportunities, to name a few. Their active men’s club is always up to something, from sporting events to brewery tours and poker tournaments.
Chef-prepared meals, social events and the company of warm, friendly neighbors are part of everyday life – as is 24/7 support from a kind and experienced staff. Our discreet assisted living services make life easier, and those living with Alzheimer’s or dementia have the opportunity to lead meaningful lives in their Life Guidance® memory care neighborhood.
We are new to Atria Hamilton Heights, having recently began services to a special resident there. They of course provide the amenities of all fine assisted living communities.
However, we are impressed by a few outstanding differentiators. First, the magnificent historic building and surrounding grounds. Second the chef quality meals and their adaptability in altering meals at residents’ requests. The staff is extraordinarily friendly especially to newcomers unfamiliar with the community. The nursing staff is helpful and responsive 24 hours a day, even as we discovered, on a holiday. And, perhaps our favorite …A pet friendly environment!
