AVIVA West Hartford

AVIVA West Hartford, located in West Hartford, CT offers independent living, assisted living & memory care. Visit Provider Website

In the heart of West Hartford, CT, AVIVA West Hartford is at 1 Hamilton Heights Drive, moments from museums, parks and medical centers, with the Noah Webster House nearby. The building was a Catholic girls' school built by the Sisters of Mercy. It was once owned by the Vanderbilts, and it's registered with the National Register of Historic Places. The community serves West Hartford, Hartford and New Britain.

It offers a level of care called AssistedPlus. It's built for someone with cognitive challenges who needs closer attention than standard assisted living gives, but isn't ready for full-time memory care.

Pricing at AVIVA West Hartford

AVIVA West Hartford lists a starting figure for each long-term option. None of the three has a billing period next to it. The short-stay line is marked daily and these three sit apart from it, so read all three as monthly starting points:

• Independent living and assisted living together: from $3,500 a month
• AssistedPlus: from $5,000 a month
• Holistic Memory Care: from $5,775 a month

That first figure covers two ways of living at once, because independent and assisted living share one price here. Short stays are priced by the day, and they don't list that rate. One request through Get Pricing gets you the daily rate for your dates and what a care assessment adds, so a starting rate turns into a budget you can work with.

Levels of Care at AVIVA West Hartford

Assisted living includes medication management, daytime nursing and social activities, so you keep the parts of your day you still handle yourself. The amenities list also describes nursing care as available when needed. AssistedPlus is the step above, for people with cognitive challenges who need more attention but not full-time memory care. Holistic Memory Care sits beyond it at $5,775.

Therapy and Everyday Help at AVIVA West Hartford

Physical, speech and occupational therapy all happen inside the building, so an appointment doesn't mean a car ride. The monitored emergency response system runs around the clock. Scheduled rides to appointments and outings come with living here. So do housekeeping and laundry every day, and cable TV with high-speed WiFi. Private apartments have a kitchenette. Pets are welcome.

Music, Theater and Meals at AVIVA West Hartford

The chapel and theater here are working venues. The Hartt School of Music and the Hartford Flute Ensemble perform for residents in both. The Playhouse on Park brings multiple shows a year, so live music is already part of the week. Meals are planned around dietary needs and cooked by the kitchen's chefs. A couple of reviewers credit the marketing director by name for staying with them through the move-in decision.
