The Powder Forest Homes sits at 45 Ashton Circle in Simsbury, CT, and serves adults aged 55 and older, offering a range of care options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, respite care, and continuing care retirement communities, so residents can find the support they need as their needs change over time. The community includes 182 single-family homes with classic colonial exteriors, two or three bedrooms, two or three bathrooms, attached two-car garages, open floor plans, hardwood floors, eat-in kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and private decks, ranging from about 1,542 to 3,457 square feet, while a Homeowners' Association looks after landscaping, snow removal, trash pickup, clubhouse upkeep, and insurance, which makes life a bit easier and takes some chores off everyone's plate. Daily life at The Powder Forest Homes centers around The Meeting House, a 3,500-square-foot clubhouse that's got an exercise room, a library, media and game rooms, card and billiards rooms, a conference room, a catering kitchen, and a wine cellar with personal bins, which brings people together for plenty of scheduled activities, resident-run events, socializing, movie nights, and community-sponsored outings, while nearby shops, restaurants, pharmacies, and transportation make it comfortable to stay connected with the surrounding area.
Residents find private or semi-private suites with their own bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, phone, and air conditioning, and meals are served all day in a dining room with restaurant-style choices and attention to dietary needs like diabetes or allergies. There's help available with medication management, daily personal care, and non-ambulatory care, plus a 24-hour call system, supervision, and safety cameras, which gives peace of mind to both residents and their families. The Powder Forest Homes also provides specialized programs for memory care with activities tailored for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, as well as skilled nursing support that covers rehabilitation, wound care, and round-the-clock medical supervision.
The grounds include walking and biking trails, outdoor patios, green spaces, access to parks for hiking, fishing, camping, golf, and other outdoor recreation, so people can stay active and connected with nature. On top of that, residents have access to amenities like a fitness room, spa, sauna, arts and crafts, and wellness programs, while optional services like housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, and concierge take more weight off daily routines. The community supports a vibrant, engaged lifestyle, focusing on both comfort and independence, all while helping residents as their health needs change, and although there's no flashy promise of perfection here, Powder Forest Homes stands out for combining practical support, a friendly neighborhood feel, and a wide range of options that make aging in place possible and a little less stressful for everyone.
