Thank you Crosby Commons!

Mom had lived in the house my dad built for her for over 70 years, so we were a bit anxious about her transition to a new "home". She loved it from day one. She was introduced to other residents who quickly became her friends. They enjoyed all their meals together. She participated in the activities, of which there were plenty. Ice cream socials, Wii Bowling, scenic rides, and Family Feud, just to name a few. Her favorite was the morning exercises. In January, Mom turned 100. We were able to have access to one of the rooms to have a family birthday party for her. Then, when the facility had their monthly birthday celebration, the staff went out of their way to focus on Mom. Cake, decorations, entertainment and even a proclamation from the Mayor of Milford. I can't say enough good things about the staff. Everyone of them did their best to be sure Mom was comfortable and happy. Mom recently passed, but before she did, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, was there to make it a beautiful transition. Staff and residents were so attentive, caring and loving up until the very end and after. I will miss the friends I made there. I highly recommend Carriage Green for you or your loved one

The resident rooms are nicely renovated with updated appliances and handicap-accessible bathroom amenities. There is also a full rehab facility (Ahlbin Center) located downstairs, including a water therapy pool. Great facility overall!

Beware: Just Like Home's care homes sound nice at first glance. They are not…read more My mother lived at a JLH facility (Long Hill Home) from April '23 to october '23 when it was closed due to violations of CT state law. It was a nightmare for my mother and my family from the moment she moved in despite the look of a wonderful place we'd hoped would be "just like home". My mother has dementia. She knows family, is alert, can tell time, could dress herself and still, at 101, doesn't wear glasses. She flew from hawaii (where she was living near me) to Ct to be near the rest of the family. That trip began her star-crossed stay at LHH -- a formidable journey and 6 hours time difference that's tough on anyone, no less someone who's 100 years old. Within 2-3 weeks, the owner of Just Like Home informed us that my mother wasn't going to sleep early enough and needed to be on prescription medication. Since she obviously had jet lag and is a good sleeper, I recommended melatonin which worked immediately. Soon after that, the owner insisted my mother be on anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medication "or else". (NOTE: before my mother signed a contract to live at JLH, we asked if she could ever be kicked out of the home. The answer was a resounding "No.") My mother has never been depressed nor has any doctor ever suggested she be put on medication for anxiety in her long life, yet it was becoming clear that my mother wasn't receiving the individual care or attention we were promised and was feeling increasingly on edge. Residents were forced to go to bed at 7:00-7:30 regardless of their life-long body regimes or body clocks because staff wasn't capable of being awake or on property past 9:00p to look after the residents. (They were too busy cleaning and cooking, or going home to sleep or dealing with their families in the evening and on their cell phones much of the day.) forget the good food or promised 24/7, 1-on-3 care. I suggested CBD oil for mom's increasing anxiety and...voila! It significantly decreased. Still, the threats continued while the care and whole housing situation spiraled downward. (Did I mention this was the owner's 2nd care home opened without about 1.5 years with another being prepared for opening in the first year Mom was at LHH? Another reason for so many broken promises was lack of the owner's attention to the homes already opened and her lack of being able to staff the exiting homes with professional, trained staff.) As it turned out, every resident but my mother was on medication to keep them out of the caregivers' hair. My mother was ambulatory and social -- not as easy to ignore as a drugged-out person in a wheelchair or left in bed. The threats continued, while a different option for mom's care remained illusive. Finally, after a few months, with our family more and more divided by the deception and demands of the JLH owner, we put Mom on the lowest dose of the weakest anti-depressant. Yes, she was calmer, but it didn't negate the increasing lack of care. I finally visited Mom in late Aug '23. My fears were more than confirmed. My mother was shoved by a "caregiver" in front of my own eyes! Another resident was also pushed. (The very calm, mostly nonverbal man's rational response was, "if you ever do that to me again, I'll punch you in the face.") I knew we had to get my mother out of there. To their credit, the caregivers were overwhelmed with their indoor and outdoor duties. (There was a bag of cement left on the entry porch 6 months after my mom moved in from the construction of the home that I had to ask the caregivers to move.) The shrub beds around the house were bare, so my sister and another resident's family helped to plant them out. The kitchen floor was slippery with water and grease. (My mother almost fell one night at dinner while I was there). Food wasn't what the residents liked (or paid for), and the staff was consistently grouchy. There was a big staff turnover apparently because they wouldn't allow anyone to complain --even to the owner! -- about how the homes were being run and how staff was being overworked. Beside my mother being mistreated, my family and others suffered in the nightmare that wounded many of us and our family relationships. Meanwhile, the facility's owner seems to be perpetuating the ethos of all being well at their facilities, despite the utter, shameless fantasy. Our family was stricken with "what are we going to do??" when the facility was shut down last year. however, we soon realized we owed the state of CT gratitude for doing the right thing and shutting the place down while forcing us to get her out of that horrible, sad situation. We're finally past most of the pain and thankful my mother is now in a care home nearby with loving, trained staff. My comments are meant to help anyone thinking of putting their loved ones in the care of this facility to avoid being caught in JLH's guilded trap.
