The Village at Mariner's Point sits on a grassy hilltop in East Haven, Connecticut, with wide ocean views and plenty of green space, and you'll see lush lawns, mature trees, and a landscaped campus with a circular entryway and a big welcoming front, and if you take a walk around, you might notice the private walking paths that wind through the gardens, the gazebos tucked here and there for some quiet or just a bit of shade, and the place has good spots for leisure, art, and fitness activities outdoors, and you can even walk down to Silver Sands Beach if you want to. The community has several levels of care including independent living, assisted living, memory care for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, respite care for temporary stays, and skilled nursing for folks who need more medical support after a hospital stay.
