MONARCH SOUTHBURY

A Senior Living Community in Southbury, CT

655 Main Street S, Southbury, CT 06488 | Phone: (203) 267-7100

There’s a hush to the trees that edge Monarch Southbury—a quiet, natural buffer that gives the whole place a sense of being slightly removed, but never out of touch. Someone walks their dog along the path as the smell of cinnamon rolls drifts from the café. Garden beds stretch along the courtyard, still damp from the morning hose, and a neighbor settles into a patio chair with coffee and a crossword.

Inside, the late afternoon turns social. The pub fills up early—wine poured, jazz playing low. Upstairs, the last question of a guest Q&A carries into the lounge, where someone waves you over for cards. There’s structure if you want it. Solitude if you don’t. What matters lives in the middle: the familiar cadence of a place that feels lived in, but never worn out.

Set in the wooded hills of Southbury, Monarch is close to everything: trails, markets, lunch spots, and the weekend antique shop you always mean to visit. And when you’re ready to return, home is just around the bend.

Senior Portraits Campaign

It's our people, and the place

Introducing the residents of Monarch Communities, from their personal anecdotes, to everyday mantras, our residents share stories which are illuminating, heartening, often funny and always life affirming.

Why Choose Monarch Southbury?

Here, you have your own apartment and a menu that doesn’t treat dining like a checkbox. Activities come and go, but the ones that stick are the ones that feel easy: a painting hour that turns into conversation, or a film night that ends with someone loaning you the sequel. You can book the private dining room, join the walking group, or turn down the noise and curl up with your latest read.

And whether you’re living independently, need an occasional hand, or something more consistent, there’s a plan that fits without ever feeling fixed.

Life in Southbury, CT

Social & Recreational Activities

Surrounded by preserved farmland and historic neighborhoods, Southbury blends classic New England charm with easy convenience. Monarch is just minutes from local golf courses, movie theaters, and town events—from the harvest fair to the holiday concert on the green.

At home, it’s the kind of day that builds without a plan: a garden walk, tai chi in the courtyard, or simply watching the leaves turn while sipping something warm on the patio. No two days need to look alike.

Dining & Nutrition

From fruit-topped cakes to charcuterie, our culinary team balances comfort and creativity. Menus are shaped around fresh, flavorful ingredients, and preferences are always accommodated.

You might enjoy lunch with neighbors in the dining room, wine and appetizers in the pub, or a homemade dessert during an afternoon social. It’s not just about meals—it’s about the moments they create.

Health & Wellness Programs

Wellness here is holistic: physical, emotional, and social. You’ll find options to move, express, reflect, and connect—from sound bath sessions and fitness classes to travel lectures and group mindfulness.

Your path may include pet therapy, spa days, or art club. Whatever keeps you feeling steady, we help you stay with it.

For You and Your Loved Ones
