Recent reviews for assisted living in Marks Garrison

The Atrium at Rocky Hill

4.4
My dad liked being at the atrium. I thought he would have received better health care, but I guess that's not what they do. My dad contracted shingles on his face, and it took a while to be treated correctly. Overall, it was a much better place than the nursing home he is in now.

Hoffman Summerwood Community in West Hartford, CT

My parents are very happy and comfortable at the Hoffman community. The place is clean and well maintained. Everyone there is so nice, from the residents to the staff members. The food is good and they have so many activities.

The Residence at Paine Estate in Wayland, MA
