Lodge at Cold Spring, located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, is an independent senior living community serving adults aged 55 and older. This community focuses on providing independent-living accommodations, with additional services related to continuing care retirement communities and senior living. Residents have access to a broad array of amenities, including a fitness center, an on-site barber and beauty salon, restaurant-style dining in a spacious dining room, a snack room open at all times, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments and community outings. While Lodge at Cold Spring does not offer assisted living or skilled nursing care, residents may coordinate third-party home health services should they require extra support.
The community’s on-site barber and beauty salon is available to residents who wish to maintain their grooming needs without leaving the premises. This amenity contributes to convenience, offering haircuts, styling, and other personal care services. For individuals who need assistance with activities of daily living—such as bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting—full assistance may be coordinated through outside home health providers, as the facility itself does not directly deliver these care services.
Scheduled transportation services are available for both medical and non-medical purposes, allowing residents to attend medical appointments, shop, or participate in recreational outings. This is designed to support residents in maintaining their independence while having reliable transit available for essential or leisure activities.
Resident and family reviews frequently mention the Lodge’s clean and well-maintained environment, attractive decor, and welcoming atmosphere. Staff members are described as patient, knowledgeable, accommodating, and helpful. Residents benefit from daily recreational activities, abundant social events, exercise facilities, and daily check-ins, which provide added peace of mind for families. Meals, while generally enjoyed by some for their variety and chef-prepared options, have received mixed reviews regarding selection and quality changes after management transitions. Some concerns noted include the absence of in-room kitchens in most apartments, higher than expected pricing, occasional facility odors, and dissatisfaction with room size or ambiance. Despite these drawbacks, most reviews reflect a supportive and active community environment, with residents feeling secure and engaged.
Costs at this community start at $2,900 and range up to $4,400. The average price in the community is $3,650, which is less than the average price in the area of $8,647. The cost of independent living in this area is essentially the same as the cost throughout the state. If the resident needs other services, additional services may increase the monthly cost.
