Does The Residence at Westport offer memory care?
The public license data does not say: DPH keeps no published list of dementia special care units, so families have to ask The Residence at Westport whether it runs one and request the disclosure document that goes with it.
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.

DPH's posted regulatory action orders do not name The Residence at Westport. That list is short and covers formal consent orders only.

What should we ask on a tour of The Residence at Westport?
Use the state data to steer the tour: 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.
