She was not very happy there. She definitely didn't need that level of care. She continues to be very independent and didn't like not having her own kitchen to cook in. She also didn't like that the staff would randomly let themselves into her apartment without knocking and scare her. The independent living is not meeting expectations that were portrayed during the initial tour of the facility.

Our experience was good however my mom complains about everything. The food is horrible and not nutritious. (Which is not true) there's never enough staff CNA's or APRN's. Everyone hates it there. She's just angry she is there and not home.

What stood out the most is how friendly the staff and residents are to everyone. And how clean everything is. There are many activities daily.

The facility is neat, clean and they newly renovated the common areas and hallways. The staff are superb!!! They are kind, professional and pleasant. They connect with the residents and their families. They make activities fun with music. They gave my mother her dignity while doing difficult tasks such as bathing her or helping her get dressed. I would highly recommend Monarch of Southbury.

I recently located my parents from NY to CT to be closer to me and in a safe and caring environment. This was a challenging transition given my father’s rapid decline in safety, particularly with his balance, and his advancing dementia. It was a sudden move for him from his home of 52 years. Every staff member, regardless of their role, has been warm, caring, patient and attentive. There have been some hiccups with changes in nursing and with managing medications, however I am hopeful that these were minor glitches and all will settle into place. The facility is consistently clean, the food has been good, and as I shared all staff, whether high school servers, aides, front desk, activity coordinators, nurses, business office, have all been wonderful! Overall, I am pleased with the care and support provided to my parents and I can rest more comfortably each day knowing they are well cared for. Equally, they welcome my frequent visits along with other friends and family.

While it seems that overall they do take good care of all residents, it is helpful to visit frequently and check in. They attend to issues right away when something is brought to their attention. I sometimes need to remind them to clean my mother's bathroom, or clean a bit deeper...

It has truly been a very good experience. The staff is very attentive and has been great with my MIL. Only complaint would be the variety of activities and the fact there have been changes to staff a bit. The core staff is extremely attentive and supportive but there have been some high level changes that have affected consistency. Overall a very positive experience and one I would highly recommend.

Every staff member was extremely welcoming. The place was beautiful and it is getting remodeled as we speak. They really care about the residence there and it shows and everyone of their faces and mannerism. I know that my mom will have a great experience there- thank you to everyone on the staff for making it such a positive experience.

For the high price, the experience has not met the expectation of what was promised during the tour of this facility. My mother in law has been very unhappy during her time at Monarch Southbury. There was an expectation of independence that she is not afforded as was expected as part of the independent living aspect of this environment.

1. Staff all very friendly and helpful. 2. Grounds beautiful. 3. If resident will be making own decisions and advocating for him/herself, then need to make that clear up front and keep pushing for them to respect that. It took a bit for them to get that my Aunt is making her decisions, not me. 4. If there is an issue which needs addressing, be persistent. As in all things, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. 5. Having APRN (primary care), podiatrist, dentist come right on site is a great benefit. 6. Seems to be a good mix of activities to keep people involved. 7. Planned family events are nice. 8. We had issues with the pharmacy used by Monarch getting things timely and getting 90 day supplies of meds (which saves money bc copay is same whether 1 month or 3). My aunt manages her own medication. I don't know if issue was on Monarch side, pharmacy side or both. 9. Dining hall has had issues around open vs. assigned seating as well as seating times. I think part of issue is they are back up to higher # of residents. That sad Mimi has been satisfied with the food and options and portions.

During the day you will find cleaning crew cleaning the common rooms and once a week they clean an apartment and wash and change the sheets. All of the aides and all employees say hello when you meet them walking around. Nurse available 24x7. We all have gps pendants so they can be pushed and can be found wherever you are on the grounds. Nurses will monitor and give media if needed. aides will take you down to meals or activities if needed for extra charge. 5) 5 the food is excellent with 2 specials for lunch and dinner with several daily choices each meal. Very special desserts with ice cream and pudding offered daily. Wait staff is attentive and helpful We receive an activity sheet outside our door each morning with the activities each day and a monthly sheet at the beginning of the month. The activities are varied with intellectual social, religious, games,physical. A movie every night and a gym and occasional live entertainment. The rooms are varied: studio, one bedroom, 2 bedroom.. Pretty pricey although many amenities provided.

High kudos to the staff. Very friendly and helpful. And yes I would recommend. They went through a Ex Director and chef change after about a month so there was a little bumpiness but all mostly has smoothed out. Overall all of us are happy with the choice.

Motif by Monarch is absolutely the greatest. The staff are caring, friendly and professional. The community is clean and very helpful if you need anything. An amazing community for my mom. The staff is friendly, professional and very caring. My mom is so happy at Motif in Southbury

It is the right place for my mom. Knowing that there are people there watching over her and she is receiving the assistance she needs is very comforting to me. I would recommend them to friends.

From our first interaction all the way through my Mother-in-law being a resident for the past two months, The staff at Motif could not have been better. They have made everything so easy and smooth that we could not be happier with the decision.

Our loved one appears to be cared for and healthy, and thinks the food is really good and the aides are nice, those are very important positive points. The communication around appointments with visiting doctors has been uneven but they have tried to improve it, so they're making an effort which is also good. The other residents are nice and seem happy. If the level of care goes up under their new, more expensive cost structure, the overall value will decrease substantially and the overall cost will be comparable to more expensive assisted living facilities in other areas like [removed].

The main reason my father decided to move to Motif Southbury over others we visited was because he thought it felt and seemed more homey and comfortable. I would recommend this facility to others.
