The Cottage at Litchfield Hills provides assisted-living care designed to help residents manage day-to-day tasks while preserving as much independence as possible. Trained staff assist with activities such as bathing, dressing, mobility, medication reminders, and scheduling of on-site physical therapy sessions. The physical therapy program is delivered by licensed professionals who coordinate with each resident’s physician to set goals, monitor progress, and adjust exercises as needed.
Daily safety and support are reinforced by an emergency call system in every apartment, a facility-wide sprinkler system, and 24-hour staffing that includes security personnel. Care staff are on hand around the clock to respond to alerts, manage scheduled wellness checks, and arrange transportation for outside medical appointments when required. The community’s security measures are integrated with its resident records system so that authorized caregivers have immediate access to health information during any response.
Apartments range from studio and efficiency layouts to units that include kitchenettes, private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, and in-unit laundry. Some residences come furnished with a flat-screen TV, cable service, and Wi-Fi, while others allow residents to bring their own furnishings and even repaint or decorate. Select apartments feature porches or direct access to outdoor walking paths, gardens, and seating areas. Because floor plans differ, not every accommodation includes every feature noted, so families are encouraged to verify specific details during a tour.
Dining is centered on three daily meals prepared by culinary staff who can modify entrées to meet low-sodium, kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, or other physician-ordered diets. Residents may place on-order requests, and snacks are available throughout the day in the café-bistro area. Guest meals can be arranged for visiting family or friends, and seasonal menus are reviewed by a registered dietitian to confirm nutritional balance.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts arts and crafts sessions, yoga classes, and piano sing-alongs. Walking paths connect outdoor seating areas to an arts and crafts studio, library with computer lounge, and gathering spaces for clubs, community meetings, and scheduled social outings. Health and wellness programs are offered regularly, and staff coordinate transportation to off-site events when needed.
