Can Assisted Living Service Agency of New Canaan care for someone with dementia?

Connecticut does not publish which assisted living agencies run approved dementia special care units, so the state record cannot answer this for Assisted Living Service Agency of New Canaan; ask the community directly and ask to see its written dementia care disclosure.

The law asks for adequate staff, a staffing plan filed with DPH and yearly dementia training. Auditors noted in 2023 that memory care has no minimum staffing requirement, which makes the night-shift number worth asking about. How Connecticut regulates dementia care in assisted living.

What questions does Assisted Living Service Agency of New Canaan's record raise?

Start with what the record raises: ask for the residency agreement and the ALSA service agreement side by side: the MRC charges for housing and core services, the ALSA for care.

  • Ask who the assisted living supervisor (the required registered nurse) is, and how the 24-hour on-call nurse is reached at night.
  • Ask for the fee schedule and the history of increases; MRCs must give 90 days' notice of recurring-fee increases and ALSAs 60 days.
  • Ask whether the community accepts residents whose assisted living services are paid by the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders, and what rent is charged if so.
