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 Orchards at Southington Inc.. That legal name is what you will find in eLicense and on DPH correspondence, even though families know the community as The Orchards at Southington.
Has DPH taken enforcement action against The Orchards at Southington?
None reported. Orchards at Southington Inc. 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 AL0035), and report a concern through DPH's complaint portal.
Does The Orchards at Southington offer memory care?
The Orchards at Southington does not list a memory care unit in its published information, so plan on traditional assisted living only unless the community confirms a DPH-approved dementia special care unit or program in writing.
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).
26 other agencies in Hartford County list memory care, including All American Assisted Living at Enfield, Alto South Windsor, Arbor Rose at Jerome Home, Arden Courts of Avon. See the memory care list.
