Chatham Place at Mary Wade

What Chatham Place at Mary Wade does

Chatham Place at Mary Wade is the assisted living and memory care residence operated by Mary Wade Home, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization founded in 1866 in New Haven, Connecticut. The community delivers a full continuum of senior living services — independent living (Chatham Village, 12 rental houses for adults 55+), assisted living, specialized memory care, skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, adult day programs, respite care, hospice care, and residential care — entirely from a 5.5-acre campus at 138 Clinton Avenue in the Historic Fair Haven neighborhood. Its core Chatham Place building, opened in 2021, comprises 64 studio and one-bedroom apartments (400–600 sq ft) within a 62,000–75,000 sq ft eco-conscious facility featuring co-generation systems, UV air filtration, full-building digital controls, high-performance windows, and an iN2L engagement platform, with documented energy savings above 28% versus comparable conventional buildings.

The business model is predominantly recurring monthly rental and per-diem fees billed to residents and families across the care continuum, supplemented by HUD-subsidized living for qualifying low-income seniors and philanthropic support through the 1866 Legacy Society planned-giving program and corporate sponsorships. Pricing is quote-based with no entrance fees, and a promotional incentive of up to $2,500 off first month's rent for leases signed by June 30, 2025 was offered for studio units. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through a Community Sales Director, supported by blog content, social media, email newsletters, community events, and referrals from Yale, local universities, arts organizations, and healthcare providers in the greater New Haven area.
