When people think of your business, what sets you apart from others?
Our building gives a powerful first impression as it is beautiful, open and inviting. However, it is our professional and friendly staff that truly sets us apart. We carefully select employees who are energetic, enthusiastic and dedicated to creating a caring environment for our residents.
The other advantage we offer is to provide gracious living at a tremendous value to our residents. Our pricing structure is among the most competitive while our services are the highest quality.
What are you doing to attract and retain your customers during the economic recession?
We remain focused on our larger mission to provide gracious retirement living for active independent seniors and quality assisted care for those who may need assistance with daily living tasks.
Despite today’s challenging economy, we are fortunate to be at 95% occupancy in our 74 assisted living and retirement apartments, and are quickly filling our Safe Harbor memory care neighborhood.
What's the most important ingredient to your success?
We have been successful by going back to the basics and building a culture of kindness, caring and good humor. For our active residents, our environment allows them to enjoy an independent lifestyle filled with friendship, activities, physical fitness, delicious meals and a personalized health care plan.
For our Safe Harbor memory care residents, we created specialized care programs and an engaging environment that enables them to live happily in the moment and “be the best they can be” each day. Our residents are enjoying quality care and their families are enjoying peace of mind – key elements to our success.

Anything else you would like to share?
We are particularly excited and proud of our new Safe Harbor Memory Care neighborhood, located within The Saybrook at Haddam. Walking into Safe Harbor replicates walking down a small village street, complete with a beautiful park, café and beach (oversized murals). A lovely living room and dining room provides a cozy, homelike setting for residents to both relax in and have fun in, so they are able to enjoy every day. This has been wonderfully received by families throughout the region who have entrusted their loved ones to our care.
