Owner’s Letter
Shady Oaks provides strong nursing in a cozy and loyal home.
We are higher care vs. other assisted livings.
We are more affordable vs. live-in home care.
We are more cozy vs. skilled nursing homes.
I value care. I am a Red Cross trained CNA.
I value service. I am a 3-tour Marine Iraq veteran.
I value learning. I graduated both Yale & Harvard.
Call me 860-583-1526. I am always available. I live next door.
Very Respectfully,
Tyson Francis Belanger

Tyson’s parents began senior care in 1969 and built Shady Oaks in 1975. 7 of his family were residents here.
Shady Oaks excels at dementia, heart disease, stroke, Parkinson’s, mobility assistance, and hospice care.
We provide great communication and high staffing (lift transfers and 24/7 CNAs) in a cozy boutique home.
We have VA & CT aid up to $5k/month. In 8 years, only 3% of residents ran out of money. We do not have Medicaid.
We are strong and successful against COVID-19. As of March 2024, only 8 residents have ever caught COVID here.
People choose us when they prioritize care. 95% of our residents stay with us through to their passing.
