Pierce Care, also called Pierce Memorial Baptist Home, is a senior living community in Brooklyn, Connecticut, that serves older adults and adults with disabilities by offering a wide range of care options on one campus, and when you come here, you'll find apartments and cottages for independent and assisted living along with services for long-term skilled nursing, memory care for those with dementia, home care, and even short-term rehabilitation through Pierce Memorial. The facility provides transportation arrangements, has parking, offers daily housekeeping and laundry services, and prepares three nutritious meals every day with choices for people who need special diets, using fresh, local foods when they can, and meals are served in common dining areas across care types. Staff coordinate care with local clinics and have a team that includes licensed nurses available 24 hours, doctors, therapists covering physical, occupational, and speech needs, a registered dietitian, a social worker, a chaplain, and other dedicated professionals who all focus on helping residents with activities like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and they support both daily and long-term needs whether someone is here for rehab after surgery or needs ongoing attention.
Many find comfort that rooms, which can be private or semi-private, come fully furnished, have their own bathrooms with showers, individual thermostats, and basic cable, while Wi-Fi covers the whole building, so folks stay connected, and there are also furnished common rooms, a barber and salon, a garden, and outdoor walking paths and patios for relaxing or small gatherings. The community works to be safe and accessible, with features to help prevent wandering in seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia, a 24-hour call system, and supervision at all hours. Programs fill the days with choices like movie nights, exercise groups, bingo, music, games, baking, live entertainment, parties, and spiritual consultation, plus a volunteer program, pet therapy visits, and activities that connect seniors with people of other generations, which helps many residents feel less isolated. On-site health services include podiatry, eye care, and dental visits, and the care team meets regularly to adjust individual plans-making Pierce Care one of those places that tries to cover both medical and social needs in a relaxed setting that feels home-like without being too fancy or complicated, suiting people who just want things handled without much fuss.
