Apple Rehab Coccomo

Apple Rehab Coccomo sits in Meriden, Connecticut, and has 100 certified beds, usually serving around 91 residents each day, and folks will notice that the place gives private rooms with in-room refrigerators, 32-inch flat screen TVs, private showers and baths, electric beds, phones, wireless internet, and renovated spaces that try to feel like home, and there's an on-site beauty salon along with laundry, maintenance, and housekeeping services to help residents stay comfortable during their stay. The facility runs 24 hours a day with staff offering skilled nursing care, dementia care, hospice care, respite care, short-term rehab, long-term care, and sub-acute care, and has a big rehabilitation gym with the latest therapy equipment and electric beds, along with physical, occupational, and speech therapies for both short-term and longer stays, as well as outpatient treatments. Some unique offerings include specialized programs like Dysphagia Therapy and Lymphadema Certification, speech language pathology with swallowing checks and memory retention plans, occupational therapy covering splinting, everyday skills training, eating support, and even cooking practice, and physical therapy programs helping with mobility, balance, bracing, and conditioning, and Apple Specialty Services such as home safety reviews, family and resident education, and discharge planning. There are recreational activities, regular parties, picnics, chapel and religious events, and support groups aiming to give social support for everyone, and the dining tries to offer a nicer experience for the residents. The facility is a private company, part of the Apple Rehab group, and has been around since 1976, employing around 51 to 200 people, and families will want to keep in mind that recent health inspections have found some issues including incomplete care plans, problems with upholding a homelike and safe environment, cleanliness and infection control concerns, 25 total deficiencies in a recent report, and a nurse turnover rate higher than the state average with fewer nursing hours per resident per day than is typical for Connecticut. Apple Rehab Coccomo stays open every day of the week, and the facility keeps a hospital-type setting with some hotel-style comforts, making it a place for both recovery and longer term support, but it's always good for families to review recent inspection reports to see how the facility is doing right now.
