Since moving in I've enjoyed the programs offered. I particularly enjoyed a local saxophonist who performed and those who play 40s & 50s type music. There have been programs like a magician and traveling veteran museum that I found interesting as well.

Commonwealth Senior Living at Haddam

I am comfortable that my mother is in a safe place. I think the staff are very nice. My mom tells me she enjoys the activities, and she likes playing bingo and cards. The food I tried was delicious, although Mom is less thrilled with it. I think it's a good place overall but a little pricey.
