Arden Courts of Avon

Is Arden Courts of Avon a licensed assisted living provider in Connecticut?

Yes. Care at Arden Courts of Avon, 100 Fisher Drive, Avon, CT 06001, is provided under Connecticut DPH Assisted Living Services Agency license ALSA.0000265, held by Arden Courts (Avon). The license is active and runs to June 30, 2027.

In Connecticut the license belongs to the care agency, not the building. The apartments are a Managed Residential Community that registers with DPH; the ALSA is the entity DPH surveys and can discipline, so its license number is the one to check.

The licensee name on the state record is Arden Courts (Avon). That legal name is what you will find in eLicense and on DPH correspondence, even though families know the community as Arden Courts of Avon.

How long has Arden Courts of Avon held its DPH license?

The current license was issued September 26, 2025. DPH records show 1 earlier assisted living license at the same address, most recently Arden Courts (Avon) (ALSA.0000124, now closed), so the community has changed hands or names before.

A new license number usually follows a change of owner or operator. Ask who the current owner and management company are, what changed in staffing after the transition, and whether residency agreements were reissued.

Has DPH taken enforcement action against Arden Courts of Avon?

None reported. Arden Courts (Avon) does not appear in any DPH Regulatory Action Report from 2022 through 2026 or on DPH's Health Care Facility Regulatory Action Orders page, the two places DPH publishes consent orders, fines and other formal actions.

DPH surveys ALSAs for licensure and investigates complaints, but it does not post routine ALSA inspection reports online; a 2024 legislative audit recommended a public, searchable source for them, and it has not been built. To see the latest survey, ask the agency for its most recent DPH survey letter and any plan of correction. Agencies receive these directly and can share them.

Check the license yourself in the eLicense License Lookup (number 265), and report a concern through DPH's complaint portal.

Does Arden Courts of Avon offer memory care in Avon?

Yes. Arden Courts of Avon is a dedicated memory care community. Arden Courts communities are dedicated memory care residences. In Connecticut that care runs as the agency's dementia special care unit or program, which DPH must approve.

Connecticut law (CGS § 19a-562) requires every dementia special care unit to give families a written disclosure covering its philosophy, placement and discharge criteria, staffing ratios and training, the physical setting, activities and extra fees. Ask for it before you tour. Since 2022 each ALSA must also file a list of its units and a staffing plan with DPH (DPH Blast Fax 2022-2).

How much does Arden Courts of Avon cost per month?

Connecticut does not publish prices for individual assisted living communities, so ask Arden Courts of Avon for its written rate sheet. Across Greater Hartford, this site's 2026 research puts typical memory care at $7,500–$10,000/mo.

Most communities price rent (the MRC apartment) and care (the agency's services) separately, and care is often tiered by hours or points. Get both in writing, and ask what happens to the care fee after a hospital stay or a fall.

How does moving into Arden Courts of Avon work?

Moving into Arden Courts of Avon starts with a nursing assessment by the agency's registered nurse, who writes the service plan your parent's care is built on; Connecticut rules have the ALSA review that plan at least every 120 days.

• Housing and care terms. The Managed Residential Community's residency agreement covers the apartment and the ALSA's terms cover care; they may be one document or two. Read the admission, discharge and fee-increase terms before paying a deposit.
• Memory care admission. Placement in Arden Courts of Avon's dementia special care unit follows the criteria in its written disclosure; ask how a resident moves between assisted living and memory care, and what that does to the monthly fee.
• Medications. Find out whether your parent will self-administer, get help from certified aides, or have a nurse give medications, since that changes both care and cost.
• Payment. Rent is private pay; long-term care insurance, VA Aid & Attendance and, in participating communities, CHCPE can offset the care portion.

Most moves take two to four weeks once an apartment opens; a hospital discharge can shrink that to days, which is when a second look at the paperwork helps most.
