“We do little things in a big way.”
With a choice of retirement communities, what draws people to ours?
All retirement communities tell you they have fun. But Middlewooods of Newington, CT goes way beyond that. When one Resident mentioned that she liked Coach Jennifer Rizzotti of the Hartford Hawks basketball team, we didn’t just go to a game. We arranged a loudspeaker greeting in the stadium, a welcome on the Megatron, a special cheer for our Residents from the cheerleaders and a personal visit from Coach Rizzotti herself. What a night: a row of Residents and staff, dressed in Hawks red, rooting like kids for our heroes. A senior couple seated nearby asked, “Where are you from? We want to find a place with people like you!”
At Middlewoods of Newington, CT, our staff goes out of its way to add something extra to every moment, large or small—whether it’s putting a Resident’s favorite item on the menu or taking them for a ride through the Elizabeth Park rose gardens after a trip to the doctor. That’s the kind of community we are. The whole staff knows every Resident well and goes out of their way to make life special for each one. The caring flows both ways. We’re able to be that close-knit because we’re small—all in one building, all on one floor, with 54 studio and deluxe studio apartments.
"Think of us as your new apartment with perks."

Gourmet dining, family style.
“If we’ve got the ingredients, we’ll make it.”
Why do Residents rave about the gourmet dining at Middlewoods of Newington, CT? “We make our full, hot breakfast fresh to order every day: pancakes, waffles, omelets, bacon, eggs, sausage, hot and cold cereal – you name it! And that’s just breakfast!” says Director of Dining Services Loretta Ward. “There are always two featured selections for dinner, but we also have an alternative menu with more than 25 items.” That’s every day, three delicious meals a day.
The kitchen staff works hard to make tasty choices for people who need to stay away from salt or have other dietary restrictions. They also go out of their way to make sure Residents have their favorites on hand—even smoked salmon, every day. “We don’t have a rule book,” Loretta says. “And if we did, we wouldn’t follow it anyway. If a Resident wants something and we have the ingredients, we’ll make it.”

Assisted Services: Get only what you need. Pay only for what you get
As an independent and assisted living community, our goal is to keep every Resident as self-sufficient as possible and to give them all the support they require. That means providing the assisted living services you need when you need them, with the goal of maintaining or restoring your independence to the maximum extent possible. It also means making wellness and fitness an integral part of your way of life, whether it’s getting pumped up on our Wii bowling team or trying one of the holistic methods offered as a Planetree community, from Qigong to yoga.
