*Operator-stated; DPH does not publish its list of approved dementia special care units. Beds are not listed because Connecticut licenses the care agency, not a bed count.
What is the difference between assisted living and memory care in Connecticut?
Assisted living is personal care and nursing services delivered by a DPH-licensed Assisted Living Services Agency inside a Managed Residential Community; memory care is that same agency's dementia special care unit or program, which needs separate DPH approval and a written disclosure. Neither is a nursing home.
| Assisted living (ALSA in an MRC) | Memory care (dementia special care unit) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who licenses it | DPH licenses the Assisted Living Services Agency (ALSA) that provides the care | Same ALSA license, plus DPH approval of the dementia special care unit or program (Public Act 21-121) |
| What the building is | A Managed Residential Community (MRC), registered with DPH — not licensed | A unit or program inside an MRC, often secured, with its staffing plan on file with DPH |
| What it is | Private apartment, meals, housekeeping, help with daily activities and medications | Dementia-focused care, activities and supervision for people with Alzheimer's or related disorders |
| What it isn't | Not a nursing home — no 24-hour skilled nursing | Not a separate license, and not a nursing-home dementia unit |
| What you get in writing | Residency agreement with fees, services and discharge terms | A signed dementia special care disclosure: philosophy, staffing ratios, training, placement and discharge criteria, extra fees |
| Typical Greater Hartford cost | $6,000–$8,500/mo | $7,500–$10,000/mo |
| Medicaid | Rent is private pay; CHCPE can pay for care services in participating communities | Same — rent is private pay; ask whether CHCPE is accepted |
Cost ranges: this site's 2026 Greater Hartford cost research. Rules: CT Public Health Code § 19-13-D105 and CGS § 19a-562.
Frequently asked questions
How do you verify a Connecticut assisted living license?
Search the agency in the CT eLicense License Lookup under license type "Assisted Living Service Agency" with the license number in the table; it shows the licensee, status and expiration. Search the agency name, not the building's marketing name.
Does Connecticut publish assisted living inspection reports?
Not online. DPH surveys ALSAs and investigates complaints, but it publishes only formal actions, such as consent orders and fines, in its Regulatory Action Reports. Ask the community for its latest DPH survey letter and plan of correction.
How much does assisted living cost in Greater Hartford?
Typical assisted living in Greater Hartford runs about $6,000–$8,500/mo in 2026, and memory care about $7,500–$10,000/mo. Connecticut does not publish community prices, so ask each one for its written rate sheet.
How often is this directory updated?
We re-pull DPH's license records and re-check DPH's enforcement publications quarterly; this page was last verified in October 2026.
