Our residents, families, and guests regularly comment on “that feeling you get” when walking through the door.  It is instantly recognized as an environment of warmth and connection. The living rooms, lounges, and other spaces are designed to create an environment where it is easy for residents to gather and engage in conversations and fun!  Being a small community, residents are able to get to know each other and form friendships. Good communication is an important aspect of life at Middlewoods of Farmington. Residents are encouraged to start the week at the Monday Morning Town Meeting, where they gather in the living room, around the fireplace to learn all the news of life in the community.

Family and friends feel welcome here and residents enjoy ample opportunities to get to know one another, whether over a cup of tea or baking a favorite recipe in the Country Kitchen, through a volunteer project such as feeding the hungry in Bushnell Park or caring for Woodsy, our adopted community cat who makes his home on the Middlewoods front porch,  or a conversation in one of our many living rooms and lounges in our community.
