Assisted Living for New Canaan Families

New Canaan and Wilton are neighboring towns. That proximity changes more about a move than families expect.

The Greens at Cannondale is at 435 Danbury Road in Wilton, a short drive northeast from New Canaan. We are not in New Canaan, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise. What we are is close enough that the things holding your parent’s week together do not have to change.

What stays the same

Most families researching assisted living are quietly worried about the same thing: that a move means starting over. From New Canaan to Wilton, much of it does not have to.

Staying nearby makes it realistic to keep a long-standing physician, the same place of worship, the same hairdresser, the same weekly routines. Transportation, including sitter services as needed, is among the services we provide, so getting somewhere does not always depend on a family member being free that afternoon.

For adult children still living in New Canaan, the distance is short enough that visiting can be a normal part of the week rather than a planned trip. That tends to matter more than any single amenity, because frequency of contact is one of the things families most often say they underestimated.

Getting here from New Canaan

Head northeast into Wilton and join Route 7, which is also called Danbury Road. We share a campus with Wilton Meadows Rehabilitation and Health Care Center at 439 Danbury Road, so either address will get you to the right place.

Call 203.761.1191 before you come for a tour so someone is expecting you, and we will give you directions and parking details from your address.

If care needs change later

This is the question New Canaan families ask most, because staying close is the whole reason they chose a nearby community. If your parent later needs short-term rehabilitation or skilled nursing, both are on our campus at Wilton Meadows. Nobody has to research communities again, and the family does not end up driving somewhere unfamiliar.

Ask us how a transition between the two works and what is committed in writing. It is a fair question and you should get a specific answer before you move in.
