One of the things we have noticed about many facilities in Connecticut is that often times they favor the word "Memory Care" over the word "Alzheimer's care." We're not sure why, or if it even matters much - just something that we have noticed.

Stamford - a lovely city in southeastern connecticut, is a very attractive location for seniors. In addition to a nice handful of assisted living and senior care communities, Stamford also hosts a number of senior centers that provide a wide range of things for local seniors to participate in.

In addition, the City of Stamford has a Social Services Department, which offers it's own list of services, for both families, individuals, and the elderly residents of Stamford. The Stamford Senior Health Program is one such service that exists to promote health, prevent disease, and to enhance the quality of life for seniors in Stamford. Of the items offered by the Senior Health Program, there are free blood pressure screenings, an "Ask the Nurse" program where seniors can ask questions on a multitude of topics, including Cancer Prevention, Flu Shots, and other health issues.

The City also has a "MedAssist" program, whose mission is 'to help all people understand how they are best able to handle their health care choices' and 'will offer counseling on supplemental insurances, HMOs, etc. that are most appropriate for each person.'

The Stamford Social Services main number is (203)977-4893
