    I love living here at Stonington Arms! I adore my wonderfully kind neighbors! They are always looking out for me. The unit was renovated upon move in with new floors, new windows and fresh paint which all add a refreshing feel here! It is very peaceful here and great access to everything I need, a pharmacy and stores right down the road. The staff is the best part of living here, they are caring and accommodating with anything that I need.

  • Linda Fish

    I feel safe and secure within this community ever since I moved here one year ago. From the time that I moved in everyone of my neighbors are a good and caring friend. Everyone looks out for one another’s safety including the office staff.

  • Kathleen Ascare

    Living here at Stonington Arms has been nothing short of wonderful. My apartment is perfect and meets all of my needs. The staff is always ready to help, and the maintenance of the grounds and units is exceptional. Every day I am thankful for my life here at Stonington Arms!

  • We love it here!

    We love it here! We get very well taken care of, we come first, all the staff are very nice. It would be tough to make ends meet if we were not lucky enough to live here on a low income that is fixed.

  • I love living here

    When I moved in here I was a little depressed. I lived in my parents home, and between bills and taxes, I had nothing left to socialize. As soon as I moved into Stonington Arms I have met several people and socialize as much as I want. I love living here. I would like to mention the entire staff are fantastic, always with a smile, and ready to help the tenants out. Stacy, Deb, Heidi, and Jorge are the best!
