Overview of Avery Heights

Avery Heights Assisted Living and Memory Care has been part of Hartford’s South West neighborhood since 1957. It occupies a single-story building at 705 New Britain Ave, with one- and two-bedroom units and a Walk Score of 39. That means a short list of errands can be done on foot, but most trips still mean getting in a car.

Registered nurses spend about 39 minutes per resident each day, LPNs add another 37 minutes, and nurse aides put in just over two hours. A doctor is on staff, nursing services run around the clock, and residents recovering from surgery or illness have rehabilitation services, respite care, and short-term rehab available on-site. That combination points toward a place built for people cycling through recovery as much as those settling in for the long haul.

Daily life includes music and art classes, book clubs, and exercise sessions, plus a wellness program that folds in physical, speech, and occupational therapy. The building itself has a fitness center, library, salon and barber shop, movie theater, and a wellness center, and pets are welcome. A private room runs $618 a day across 119 available rooms, while a semi-private room costs $573 a day with 80 rooms on offer.

Taken as a whole, Avery Heights is a facility set up for two overlapping groups: residents who need daily assisted living support, and those working through short-term rehab or memory care needs with clinical staff close at hand.

Overview of Avery Heights Assisted Living and Memory Care

Avery Heights Assisted Living and Memory Care offers independent living in Hartford, CT. Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care, while the continuing care setting can work for someone whose support needs may change over time. A full continuum of healthcare services is available without a buy in fee, so families do not need to plan for that upfront payment.

Apartments and cottages come in one bedroom and two bedroom layouts. The larger option can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Pets are allowed, which means a resident may keep a pet while living in the community. Respite care supports a short stay for someone needing temporary help, while short term rehabilitation provides a time limited recovery setting after an illness, injury or procedure.

Residents can use the pool, fitness center and walking trails for exercise and outdoor activity on site. Dining includes various meal plans and a private dining room. Music and art classes, book clubs and exercise classes offer structured ways to take part in creative, reading and physical activities.

The wellness program includes personalized care plans, physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy, with rehabilitation services also available. The Walk Score is 39/100, indicating a car dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need transportation for many everyday tasks.
