Overview of Hartford Retirement Village

Hartford Retirement Village is an assisted living community in Hartford, Alabama. Residents can receive help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication, with medication management and health monitoring built into daily care. The community has 38 beds, making it a smaller setting that may be a good fit for someone who prefers a place where staff and residents can get to know each other.

Assisted living starts at $2,250, giving families a figure to use when budgeting for the entry level of care. Hartford Retirement Village opened in 1988, and Gloria Jane Shepard serves as its administrator. A Walk Score of 55 out of 100 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so residents who no longer drive may be able to complete some errands on foot.

Outdoor spaces are part of daily life here. The ADA approved paved walking track offers a designated place to walk, while the covered patio gives residents somewhere to sit outside; an in house beauty salon also brings salon services into the community. Three home cooked meals are served in a dining room and prepared by a full time dietician, and weekly religious services take place in the chapel.
