Overview of Masonicare at Mystic

Masonicare at Mystic offers assisted living, Adult Day Care, independent living, and memory care in Mystic, CT. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision.

Adult Day Care gives someone a daytime care option while they return home outside program hours. The combination of independent living, assisted living, and memory care may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time, since those care levels are available within the same community. Studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom residences accommodate either a single resident or a couple moving together.

Respite care and a short term trial stay offer temporary options for a caregiver who needs a break or for someone who wants to experience the community before making a longer term decision. Rehabilitation services and short term rehabilitation provide a recovery focused option after an illness or injury. A fully equipped fitness center, exercise and yoga classes, an indoor heated salt water pool, and a salon support exercise and personal care on site.

Walking trails and a secure courtyard provide outdoor areas, while wheelchair accessibility supports residents who use mobility equipment. Transportation is available within a 15 mile radius, giving residents a way to reach destinations in that service area without arranging every trip independently, and pets are allowed. With a Walk Score of 50 out of 100, the area is somewhat walkable, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to manage select nearby tasks independently.
