The Village at Mariner's Point in East Haven, CT delivers three levels of housing and support—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—within one campus. Residents can move between these settings as needs change, and the Memory Care neighborhood is equipped to serve individuals with early to advanced dementia. The clinical program also admits adults under 60 when appropriate and is prepared to manage wandering behaviors morning or night, elopement risks, and continuous wakefulness.
An RN or LPN is on site, with a nurse always on call, allowing the community to handle wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and all forms of diabetes management, including sliding-scale insulin. Door alarms, a fenced rear area, 24-hour staff coverage, and personal emergency response systems support safety. Staff stay awake on night shift and can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby with a walker to two-person and Hoyer-lift moves, and bed-bound residents can be accommodated. On-site podiatry visits are available, and the community accepts residents who have co-existing psychiatric conditions.
Apartments are offered in several layouts. Many include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable connections, and the option to paint or decorate. Not all units have every feature, so families should confirm specific details during their visit.
Dining follows a set menu for each meal, but made-to-order options are available daily, and snacks can be picked up any time. The culinary team works with nursing to create low-sugar, low-sodium, renal, mechanical-soft, or other modified diets to support wound healing, diabetes control, and physician-ordered nutrition plans.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-friendly common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, internet service, communal gardens, an outdoor pool, bocce and shuffleboard courts, and on-site religious services. Transportation for appointments and local outings is scheduled regularly, and public transit is nearby. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
