Open to people 55 and over, Ashlar Village is a unique, not for-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community, located in Wallingford, Connecticut.

With 260 beds, Ashlar Village is one of the larger communities in the area, senior care communities in Wallingford average about 167 beds. Larger communities more often keep clinical staff on site around the clock and can offer a wider range of on-site therapy and activities, though some families prefer the quieter feel of a smaller setting.

Medicare rates this community 2 out of 5 stars overall, a score based on health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Communities in Wallingford average about 3.3 stars. Its most recent standard health inspection was in December 2024 and recorded 9 deficiencies.

Medicare five-star ratings

  • Overall ★★★★★ 2/5
  • Health inspections ★★★★★ 3/5
  • Staffing Not reported
  • Quality measures ★★★★★ 4/5

This community did not file the payroll return CMS uses to work out nursing hours. CMS scores a missing return as one star, which looks the same on this page as a home that reported and staffs thinly, so we leave the staffing score out rather than show you a number that says nothing about its nurses. The missing return does still count against the overall score above. It is a fair thing to ask about on a tour: how many staff are on at night, and at weekends.
