Avery Heights
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.
