The Hearth at Gardenside – Reviews
December 2022
The Hearth at Gardenside has been wonderful for my mother & father. After 2 years at The Hearth at Tuxis, Madison, they moved to Gardenside, they moved to their apartment at Gardenside so father could be in the memory care Keepsake. While mother passed peacefully, while together, 5 years ago at Gardenside, father Michael has received very loving care all these years, daily activities & exercises, the food has been good, the facility clean & nice, and the staff caring & delightful. Michael's family is very pleased and very appreciative of the loving care he has received all of these years. It is a lovely, spacious, bright & clean assisted living facility. Thank you.

My brother has been a resident of The Hearth since August 2020. They have provided him the best care and attention, especially in his transition to being in an assisted living environment; not to mention coupled with the pandemic. He loves it there!

It was great the visits with Mom in the court yard and the dinner was a great time. I know you have your hands tied by regulations but keep us posted when things open up

My parents have lived at the Hearth at Gardenside for 3 years. The highest marks go to the caring, compassionate staff at the Hearth. All staff I have interacted with are invested in providing the best environment and individualized care for the residents. From time to time the chef will create a special dish for my dad, knowing his tastes and particular favorites!!! One area of improvement could be more timely responses to communications. Overall, it is a blessing to know they are well attended to, especially in times of need.

The Hearth at Gardenside is by far the best choice for senior living. It provides high-quality care, delicious meals, social and engaging activities and an environment that is clean and cozy. Gardenside gives family members peace of mind knowing their loved one is well taken care of by the friendly, compassionate staff.

The last months have been difficult to say the least, however, thru it all The Hearth at Gardenside had provided my brother with a feeling of being safe and at home. He loves it there; and I am so grateful for that !
October 2020
During this pandemic the staff has been wonderful and has found ways to keep in touch with our family residents. I feel they were well taken care of.
October 2020
My Aunt lived here for over 4 years and considered it home. When it was time to find a place for Mom, The Hearth was where she wanted to go. Everyone from the nurses, waiters, activity people to housekeepers take pride in their job and treat my Mom and our family well. Management is very approachable and responsive to our questions and concerns.
October 2020
The level of compassion for my mom and our family has helped us all get through the last few months. The response to the pandemic has been incredible.
October 2020
Could not ask for anything more. Always responsive and treats my dad like family!
September 2020
The Hearth has been a great place for my Mother. She has lived independently there for more than 5 years. The leadership is organized, thoughtful, engaged and will always address your concerns. Alberto the head Chef is exceptional, the property is clean and well maintained. As long as my Mom is happy, Im happy, Thank you.

We visited many communities for my Dad. Gardenside was truly the home away from "home". The warm feeling, wonderful restaurant style dining and activities made this the right choice ...and we have not looked back!
September 2018
We have found the nurses and help on the floor to be helpful and pleasant and the food is great. Processing requests is not good. For example, we have waited for a year to get a door nameplate spelled correctly in spite of several requests.

I am a Rabbi at Rabbinical institute of New England, and as apart of our outreach programs, we visited this senior care center. The staff here are organized, very kind, and informative (especially bill). Of all the care centers, we visited in connecticut. I can arguably say this one was one of the nicest, and most maintained. It's no surprise that the residents we spoke with were very happy here.
October 2016
It took a bit of time; a few direct care people had to be reassigned or removed because they lost the essential compassion required to help elders and recovering people maximize quality of life and build courage toward tomorrow...there has been a sea change in leadership and,as a direct result, the care for residents, respect for the concerns of family members, and the physical atmosphere have transformed. The 'STARS' are too many to name and I don't want to forget anyone--And I am referring to the many great people from housekeeping to medical directors. The Hearth is better than I have ever seen it...and it can be better. We can all be better- all of us. Families can understand The Hearth needs to be at the top of their game, every day, yet staff is only human and sometimes the ball is fumbled, so let's not look for opportunity to point fingers and break balls unduly...let us, all, staff and families, be grateful for the positive direction on which we now find ourselves advancing and together build a best last home for our loved ones AND their caregivers.
