Overview of Seacrest Retirement Center

Seacrest Retirement Center has been running out of its West Haven location on Ocean Avenue for 23 years. It’s a three-story building with 75 beds, currently sitting at 80% occupancy, so 60 rooms are filled and 15 are open. Getting there means driving; the Walk Score is 22, which puts the neighborhood squarely in car-dependent territory.

There’s assisted living, memory care, and respite care, all under one roof, with licensed nurses and CNAs providing 24-hour staffing. The memory care side includes a secured wander-management system, plus staff who help with personal care and dining for residents who need that extra hand. Meals are made from scratch, and the kitchen will work around special diets rather than serving one menu to everyone.

Housing here comes in two forms: private rooms, the only option listed as a housing category, running $115 a day, and semi-private rooms at $88 a day. Seacrest bundles memory care and assisted living costs into one all-inclusive fee, so families aren’t tracking a stack of separate line items. Staff speak Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish, and the community hosts both Catholic and Congregational services.

On the regulatory side, state inspections here have tended to center on infection control, environmental and hazardous-materials safety, documentation and care planning, and housekeeping. None of that is unusual territory for a facility this size. Pets are welcome, too. Put together, Seacrest presents a 75-bed community built around bundled, all-inclusive assisted living and memory care, staffed around the clock, for residents who want cost predictability along with hands-on support.
