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.
“Active in renewal” means DPH has the renewal application in process; the agency keeps operating under its current license while it is reviewed.
How long has The Residence at South Windsor Farms held its DPH license?
The Residence at South Windsor Farms's current license was issued October 11, 2018, about 8 years ago, and DPH records show no earlier assisted living license at this address.
For comparison, 17 of the 35 active ALSAs in Hartford County were licensed in 2020 or later and 12 date to before 2010.
Has DPH taken enforcement action against The Residence at South Windsor Farms?
None reported. The Residence at South Windsor Farms 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 204), and report a concern through DPH's complaint portal.
Does The Residence at South Windsor Farms offer memory care in South Windsor?
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 South Windsor Farms cost per month?
Connecticut does not publish prices for individual assisted living communities, so ask The Residence at South Windsor Farms 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 South Windsor Farms?
Start with the license: confirm ALSA.0000204 is the agency providing care, then ask for the latest DPH survey letter, the rate sheet and the residency agreement.
- Your license shows as in renewal. Has DPH completed its renewal survey, and can we see the result?
- 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 The Residence at South Windsor Farms work?
Before move-in, The Residence at South Windsor Farms'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 The Residence at South Windsor Farms'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 The Residence at South Windsor Farms has no opening, ask to join its waitlist and keep touring; availability across the Capitol Region changes month to month.
