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.

Has DPH taken enforcement action against Arden Courts of Farmington?

None reported. Arden Courts (Farmington) 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 264), and report a concern through DPH's complaint portal.

How does moving into Arden Courts of Farmington work?

Moving into Arden Courts of Farmington 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 Farmington'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.

If Arden Courts of Farmington has no opening, ask to join its waitlist and keep touring; availability across the Capitol Region changes month to month.
