Buckingham Heights

Is Buckingham Heights a licensed assisted living provider in Connecticut?

Yes. Care at Buckingham Heights, 1824 Manchester Rd, Glastonbury, CT 06033, is provided under Connecticut DPH Assisted Living Services Agency license ALSA.0000237, held by Buckingham Heights, LLC. The license is active and runs to June 30, 2028.

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.

The licensee name on the state record is Buckingham Heights, LLC. That legal name is what you will find in eLicense and on DPH correspondence, even though families know the community as Buckingham Heights.

Has DPH taken enforcement action against Buckingham Heights?

None reported. Buckingham Heights, LLC 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 237), and report a concern through DPH's complaint portal.

Does Buckingham Heights offer memory care?

Buckingham Heights does not list a memory care unit in its published information, so plan on traditional assisted living only unless the community confirms a DPH-approved dementia special care unit or program in writing.

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).

26 other agencies in Hartford County list memory care, including All American Assisted Living at Enfield, Alto South Windsor, Arbor Rose at Jerome Home, Arden Courts of Avon. See the memory care list.
