Greenwich Woods Rehabilitation sits on a 16-acre property designed to feel like a suburban oasis, and even though the nursing home part used to allow up to 217 beds, now there's usually about 80 to 85 residents on a given day, and they also have separate units for 45 folks with dementia so people who need that kind of care can stay in a secure place. This place covers many things when it comes to health care-personal care, hygiene help, rehab with physical, occupational, and speech therapies, plus skilled nursing services where a team works with people recovering from surgery, living with long-term illnesses, or just getting older and needing more help. There's independent and assisted living, as well as a long-term nursing home unit, and rooms look more like you'd see in someone's house, with private dining, patios, and small outdoor gathering spots, and you can even get meals in your room, watch satellite TV, and use Wi-Fi or the telephone without having to pay extra for local and long-distance calls, plus there's a salon or barber visit included when someone first arrives.
They offer a bunch of support-emotional, personal, and spiritual-including a grief education program, plus there's medication management and someone keeps up with housekeeping. Nurses and therapists help develop individualized plans whether someone's had a knee replaced, needs wound care, is recovering from a stroke, or just wants to rebuild strength after a big illness, and in the 2500 square foot gym, someone can do up to three hours of rehab a day, all week, plus they treat heart, lung, and even neurological issues, with programs led by specialists for things like COPD, asthma, and after a heart attack or heart surgery. Folks get everything from IV therapy by certified nurses, to special programs for swallowing problems, mobility training, and even psychological counseling, though there are a few documented deficiencies in their inspection reports for things like infection prevention, making sure nurses and aides know what they're doing, and not always meeting residents' pharmacy needs, so that's worth keeping in mind.
People who live there or stay for short-term rehab have the chance to go out on trips to museums, the theater, the mall, hiking, or even fishing, and staff help with discharge planning, so when someone's ready to leave after rehab, they get help setting up care and equipment for home, plus follow-up appointments and meal planning. Greenwich Woods is a for-profit, limited liability company, and it's also part of a development plan that means the old nursing home might eventually come down to be replaced by a five-story building with 215 units, a third of which will rent for below-market rates, and there's room for 294 cars in the lot. Amenities focus on comfort, like a family dining room and well-kept grounds, and people with memory issues have a secure community just for them. Ownership includes both direct and indirect parties with stakes in the property, and while they're set up for up-to-date staff and nurse-hour reports, that data isn't always available or easy to find.
Overall, Greenwich Woods Rehabilitation offers a full range of health and rehab services, from everyday help with bathing or medication to therapies for very specialized recovery needs, and it tries to balance a home-like setting with skilled clinical care, though there are some areas noted in their inspection history that could use improvement.
