Our family's experience
Academy Point is the perfect place for our 95yo mom. She enjoys the activities provided, socializing at meal times and having visitors. The staff is very friendly and everyone knows her name. They check in on her several times a day. Her 1BR unit is a little small but she has gotten used to it. We are happy with our choice.

Mindset is important and I can't predict that. So be open minded and pay attention to the presentation. I left in [date removed] when [name removed] moved to the Alzheimer's ward. She died [date removed]. They were working on improving several services including food at that time. I have had no contact since then. It is a pleasant setting with caring staff . With a real effort to make it a good experience for the residents. Definitely a nice place.

Professional, courteous, attentive to detail, patient. A top notch facility focused on caring for the whole person - physically, mentally, emotionally, nutritionally. My parents are in their care and I can now relax and begin to enjoy my life again knowing they are so well cared for. Furthermore, necessary services such as a dentist, hair salon, podiatrist, etc, are on site. Highly recommend Academy Point.

Overall, it's been a great experience. My dad seems to be very happy there. The most appealing part is the being in a New England home feel. Not a nursing home environment. Dad is just on a vacation!

What our family likes the most about the Academy Point at Mystic community is that the staff members made everything very smooth for my parents and siblings. Based on the experience so far, we would recommend this community to others.

If we could give the friendliness of the staff and their quality of care 10 stars, we absolutely would. My husband really really likes the community, it definitely was the top choice for us. It is very welcoming and inviting. We hated that we had to take our loved one out because he started doing so well there. They are just so caring and friendly, everything was so great and we would absolutely recommend to other families.

The location is lovely. You have to review the billing very carefully. They are not responsive to questions. If your loved one has dietary needs, this is not the place for them. They don't seem to be willing to accommodate even the easiest diet restrictions.

They've been very helpful, but they don't meet the criteria for our long term care insurance. However, it's worth looking into it. I like the residents. They're friendly and we have good interactions there. The caregivers are friendly and helpful as well.

Academy Point at Mystic gives our family that peace of mind that our loved one is being taken care of. The staff are extremely friendly and always engaging with the residents - it really gives off that tight knit community. They take care of everybody - if someone does not show up for meal time they still send a staff member to go check on them. Our loved one does not participate in the activities but we do see a ton of different things going on. They are extremely efficient with their transportation service, they have been outstanding and have never let us down. They will take them to other appointments as well as day trips to different restaurant's. It is expensive but you do get a lot for your money and we would 100% recommend this community to other families.

The staff at Academy Point are very outgoing and friendly, and when the care services are top notch they really are 5 stars and very successful. While the overall value is quite what we wanted and does not include everything when it works it works. Based on our experience so far with this community we would definitely recommend this community to other families for evaluation

Overall we're very happy. I really thin there needs to be an activity after dinner though. That's a difficult time for a lot of patients, and there is no activity at that time. They've also been a little slow on setting an appointment o have us come in and reevaluate our loved one's situation. But I think the best thing about them is the staff, from custodial, to maintenance, to helpers, to food staff. Everyone is wonderful and caring toward the patients, and that's what matters.

Our family had an in person tour and we found it to be a little bit dated and older. The lady we spoke with also did not give us a warm and fuzzy feeling.

We chose Academy Point at Mystic because of the assistance from admissions, they were very helpful and accommodating. The facility is also quite nice, it overlooks the Mystic River which is beautiful. My mom had studio and it was plenty roomy. We loved the friendliness of the staff as well as the activities provided. There was something to do always. Sometimes I didn't want to leave after vising. One downfall is visitor parking can be a challenge. I would recommend.

We recently moved our mother into Academy Point in Mystic. Staff is exemplary! Everyone has been warm and welcoming and makes themselves available to assist residents and family members. In less than two weeks there, my mother is already saying how much she loves it. She is participating in lots of activities, which she wasn't doing at home. Academy Point was also the only assisted living facility I visited who seemed able to manage my mother's dietary restrictions without a problem.

Academy Point provided my parents the opportunity to spend my father's final days together. The staff was professional, caring, compassionate and treated my parents with dignity and respect from day one. They provided the personal care my father needed in the memory care unit during the day and in their apartment during the evening and nights. Unfortunately my father's health deteriorated faster then we had anticipated. During my fathers final days the medical and personal care staff provided valuable care and assistance to both my mother as well as the family. I would highly recommend Academy Point to anyone searching for a family atmosphere in an assisted living facility.

From the beginning of my search for a dementia unit for my mom, the administrative staff were great with spending time meeting with me and my mom. They provided time and attention in giving me information, answering questions, meeting and assessing my mom. They were professional and kind. The facility has a home like feeling. The memory care unit, being in an assisted living versus a nursing home does not have an institutional feel. The nurse manager of the harbor unit is very knowledgeable in the area of dementia care and has been very helpful in facilitating my mom’s medication adjustments in order to obtain better control of her symptoms as well as getting medical equipment she needed. Some down sides to the unit I have found are: on the second shift, they need more staff to be attentive to the residents and better meet their needs. The 4pm-8pm activity aide position seems to be vacant and the two aides on that shift are too busy with dinner and evening care to do any activities with the residents so they are basically just sitting unattended in the living room area waiting their turn for evening care. They definitely need another staff person on that shift. Another area I think could be improved upon is the utilization of nursing staff. There is one nurse on second shift and she is responsible for passing medications to residents in the entire facility. This leaves no time for any other type of assessment or interaction with residents which adds to the feeling at least when I’m there visiting, that the staff is stretch a little thin to provide the type of caring attention that these unfortunate souls need and deserve. I am not able to visit earlier in the day but plan to make some time to visit my mom occasionally at that time to see how the care is at that time. Placing a parent or loved one in a dementia care unit or any type of care facility is a heartbreaking thing because you always feel that they are not getting the type of care that if possible you or other family members would provide. Academy Point while not perfect is the best option I found in my search for dementia care for my mom but it remains a very difficult thing to see her mind and body and quality of life deteriorate so.

My only criticism is that they need to do a better job cleaning bathrooms, in particular the toilets. Some people need to have them cleaned after each movement.

We like the care from this community for my father. The staff is caring and attentive to his needs. The community is clean and a lot of variety for the residents are available. This community is a good environment. I would recommend families to this community for the good care for a loved one.

The assisted living area of this community is wonderful. The people I met were nice and knowledgable. The memory care unit was not what we were looking for as it seemed dark, tight and not as clean.
