The Residence at Ferry Park

Is The Residence at Ferry Park a licensed assisted living provider in Connecticut?

Yes. Care at The Residence at Ferry Park, 60 Cold Spring Rd, Rocky Hill, CT 06067, is provided under Connecticut DPH Assisted Living Services Agency license ALSA.0000214, held by The Residence at Ferry Park. The license is active and runs to September 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.

How long has The Residence at Ferry Park held its DPH license?

The current license was issued October 4, 2019. DPH records show 1 earlier assisted living license at the same address, most recently Brookdale Rocky Hill (ALSA.0AL0012, now closed), so the community has changed hands or names before.

• Brookdale Rocky Hill — ALSA.0AL0012, issued April 1, 2009, now closed

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 The Residence at Ferry Park?

None reported. The Residence at Ferry Park 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 214), and report a concern through DPH's complaint portal.

Does The Residence at Ferry Park offer memory care in Rocky Hill?

Yes, according to the operator. Operator lists independent living, assisted living and memory care. 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 The Residence at Ferry Park cost per month?

Connecticut does not publish prices for individual assisted living communities, so ask The Residence at Ferry Park 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 The Residence at Ferry Park?

Ask The Residence at Ferry Park 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 Brookdale Rocky Hill 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?
• Can family visit at mealtimes and in the evening without an appointment?
• Which company holds the DPH Assisted Living Services Agency license here, and is it the same company that owns the building?
• What is the full monthly fee for my parent's care level, and what triggers a move to a higher tier?
• How many aides and nurses are on duty overnight, and for how many residents?

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 The Residence at Ferry Park work?

Moving into The Residence at Ferry Park 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 The Residence at Ferry Park'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.
