Farmington Station

Is Farmington Station a licensed assisted living provider in Connecticut?

Yes. Care at Farmington Station, 111 Scott Swamp Rd, Farmington, CT 06032, is provided under Connecticut DPH Assisted Living Services Agency license ALSA.0000220, held by Farmington Station A Senior Living Residence. The license is active and runs to March 31, 2028.

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 Farmington Station A Senior Living Residence. That legal name is what you will find in eLicense and on DPH correspondence, even though families know the community as Farmington Station.

How long has Farmington Station held its DPH license?

The current license was issued April 3, 2020. DPH records show 2 earlier assisted living licenses at the same address, most recently Atria Farmington (ALSA.0000189, now closed), so the community has changed hands or names before.

• Atria Farmington — ALSA.0000189, issued May 5, 2017, now closed
• The Landing of Farmington — ALSA.0000176, issued November 10, 2015, now inactive

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 Farmington Station?

None reported. Farmington Station A Senior Living Residence 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 220), and report a concern through DPH's complaint portal.

Does Farmington Station offer memory care in Farmington?

Yes, according to the operator. Operator lists assisted living and "Compass Memory Care" with Certified Dementia Practitioner staff. In Connecticut that is the agency's dementia special care unit or program, which requires DPH approval and a signed disclosure for every resident.

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 Farmington Station cost per month?

Connecticut does not publish prices for individual assisted living communities, so ask Farmington Station for its written rate sheet. Across Greater Hartford, this site's 2026 research puts typical assisted living at $6,000–$8,500/mo and 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.

HUSKY C Medicaid does not pay assisted living rent. The Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE) can pay for the agency's care services in participating communities; see our CHCPE guide.

What should you ask when touring Farmington Station?

Ask Farmington Station for three documents before anything else (its latest DPH survey letter, its rate sheet and the residency agreement), then cover staffing and move-out triggers.

• The license changed from Atria Farmington to the current licensee. What changed in management and staffing?
• May we see your dementia special care unit disclosure statement, and when was it last updated?
• Has DPH approved your dementia special care unit or program, and what staffing plan did you file?
• What annual dementia-specific training do direct-care staff complete?
• How long have the executive director and the agency's supervisor of assisted living services been in their roles?
• How are medications handled — self-administered, aide-assisted, or given by a nurse — and how are errors tracked?
• Can we take the residency agreement home before paying a deposit?
• Do you accept the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE) for care services?

Visit twice, once at a meal. If problems come up after move-in, the CT Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program advocates for assisted living residents as well as nursing home residents.

How does moving into Farmington Station work?

Before move-in, Farmington Station's assisted living agency must assess your parent and set a written service plan, then reassess at least every 120 days or sooner if needs change.

• 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 Farmington Station'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.
