The Ivy at Watertown Assisted Living and Memory Care sits on Straits Turnpike in Watertown, Connecticut, and has served the area for over 25 years, offering assisted living, independent living, and specialized memory care for older adults. The community has 89 spacious apartments, including studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, with the PVT apartments providing an all-inclusive choice for residents who like things simple. Residents who want to stay active but need a little help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or managing medication can use assisted living services, while those with memory issues, like Alzheimer's or dementia, can benefit from the Reflections Memory Care program, where trained caregivers create unique support plans and structured activities, aiming for safety, dignity, and engagement. The building itself has indoor and outdoor common areas, high-speed internet, pet accommodations, and handicap accessibility, so everyone can feel comfortable moving about and visiting with friends or family, plus the movie theater streams Catholic Mass every day at 10 AM with occasional communion, and there's a beautician onsite for personal grooming needs.
There's a busy calendar with arts and crafts, social gatherings, and educational programs to help residents stay involved, and the staff runs a safe, friendly environment, recognized with Best of Senior Living awards and praised for being caring and communicative. People living in the independent apartments can enjoy the community setting and still keep their own routines, and those needing more support can rely on tiered care levels, on-site medical professionals, and 24-hour staffing for peace of mind. Meal services bring nutritious food with a focus on good taste, and housekeeping, personal care, and transportation help keep things running smoothly so folks can focus on enjoying their days. Memory care residents get extra safety and cognitive activities, designed to feel familiar and simple, with caregivers focusing on each person's needs and promoting connections.
The Ivy at Watertown sits in an easy-to-find spot, served by Routes 6, 63, 8, and I-84, and draws from nearby towns like Waterbury, Middlebury, Woodbury, and others, making it easier for visitors to come by. Amenities are geared for comfort and convenience, like Wi-Fi, personal care, pet-friendly spaces, and beauty services, and the Respite Care option can cover short-term or longer support after an illness or when caregivers need a break. With 25 years' experience under the Ivy & The Arbors family ownership, this community works at building a comfortable, home-like atmosphere for seniors wanting independence or needing support to live with dignity and purpose.
