Trio of projects bringing senior and assisted-living housing units to Fairfield

More than 200 senior and assisted-living housing units are heading to Fairfield within the next few years, as part of three projects that are in development, the Connecticut Post reports. Sunrise Senior Living, Sturges Ridge and Maplewood at Southport will all offer new units within the next few years, including units for people with Alzheimer’s and dementia. The developers “are responding to a need within not just Fairfield but the surrounding area,” Fairfield’s economic development director Mark Barnhart said. [CTPost]
