What Families Think

Reviews of Greystone are sharply split: many families describe a warm, home-like setting where staff know residents by name and some relatives have had loved ones there for years, even over a decade. However, a smaller but serious set of reviews raises red flags about cleanliness, food quality, staffing levels, and one very troubling account of a resident with dementia who eloped and later died.

The Good

  • Staff described as warm, attentive, and family-like
  • Long-tenured residents, some for 5-15+ years
  • Home-like house setting rather than institutional building
  • Personalized care plans and close medical monitoring (e.g., diabetes)
  • Help arranging outside medical appointments

The Bad

  • Multiple reports of inconsistent food quality
  • One report of unclean conditions and disrespectful treatment
  • One serious report of a dementia resident eloping and later found dead
  • Reports of insufficient staffing for residents needing more care

I cannot say enough on how this place is amazing! My mother recently moved here. The staff has gone above and beyond with getting her settled and straightened out from a not so great facility that she came from. The staff is beyond helpful and really made her feel at home! I feel like we worked as a team to get her settled in. I highly recommend Greystone!

Early this year my dearest close friend and neighbor with dementia was admitted on St. Patrick Day. I dropped her off that morning from the hospital. She was there for few hours. She walked out the front door that afternoon. It was the last time I saw her. She was missing for 1 and half months. On May 4, 2022 she was found dead in the CT river. Greystone isn't a secure building. No video cameras on the property. I wouldn't recommend any one with dementia to live here.
