    Kind staff, clean inviting facility

    I placed my mom here for long-term care and I'm very pleased. The staff-from warm, efficient receptionists to knowledgeable nurses, therapists and caregivers-are kind, professional and genuinely attentive. The facility is well-kept, quiet and inviting; therapies and activities (creative-arts driven) are outstanding and my mom improved noticeably. I'd recommend this wonderful home - I'll even miss their corny breakfast jokes.

    Summary of reviews

    The reviews present a mixed but consistent pattern: clinical and caregiving staff are frequently described as caring, experienced, and effective, and the facility offers robust therapy and activity programming—particularly creative-arts approaches—that families and long-term residents have praised. Multiple accounts highlight polite, efficient reception staff, an inviting facility appearance in many areas, and cases where residents’ conditions improved under the facility’s clinical teams. For some long-term residents the facility functions well and delivers a quiet, comfortable environment.

    At the same time, operational and administrative shortcomings recur across the feedback. Staffing levels are described as inconsistent, with reports of high turnover, limited weekend coverage, and variability between shifts. That variability is reflected in accounts of smooth first-shift operations contrasted with understaffing or reduced responsiveness at other times. Several reviews identify problems with scheduling and frequency of personal care tasks, suggesting inconsistent personal-care routines for some residents.

    Management and human-resources issues are a prominent concern. Reviewers describe weaknesses in oversight, communication, and accountability, and there are allegations of payroll and HR irregularities that have attracted regulatory attention. Staff morale and teamwork problems—including poor communication among nursing staff and concerns about professionalism—are cited as factors that may impair day-to-day care continuity. Relatedly, family communication and care-coordination processes are described as uneven, with some families reporting inadequate updates or conflicting information.

    Facility operations also show specific gaps: sanitation and localized mold concerns in certain areas, variable dining quality, and some accounts of inadequate hydration and nutrition oversight. There are mentions of infection-control and safety practice gaps during outbreak periods, as well as instances of front-desk or office staff being unresponsive or providing inconsistent information. These operational issues tend to cluster around administrative strain and staffing shortfalls rather than the clinical competence of individual caregivers.

    For prospective residents and families, the key pattern is one of contrast: strong, compassionate caregiving and effective therapy programs on the one hand, and organizational, staffing, and administrative weaknesses on the other. Those considering the facility should weigh the positive clinical and activity offerings against documented variability in staffing, management practices, and facility-level maintenance. A focused in-person tour, discussion of staffing patterns by shift and day of week, and direct questions about HR/payroll status, infection-control protocols, and personal-care schedules would help clarify whether the facility’s current operations meet a given resident’s needs.

    About Curtis Home

    Curtis Home, sometimes called The Curtis Home St. Elizabeth Center, is a senior care facility in Connecticut with 60 beds for skilled nursing and rehabilitation and another 34 beds in its Residential Care Home for those who want some independence but need support. Residents can choose from assisted living, memory care, short-term rehabilitation, and skilled nursing, so people can stay through different stages of need, whether they're recovering from illness or need long-term care. Staff includes licensed and registered nurses, nursing assistants, occupational and physical therapists, and they're on the premises at all times, making sure residents get 24-hour supervision, medication management, and help with bathing, dressing, and transfers. The memory care area has special features for those with dementia or memory impairments, and the staff helps with psychological and neurological needs at any time of day. Curtis Home calls some of its areas and services by unique names, like the Crown Terrace Apartments for residents who live more independently, and uses its own terms for different programs. Residents get meals planned by a registered dietitian, and meals are served in a dining room. The facility provides housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, emergency alert systems, and a 24-hour call system. Social workers help residents adjust or transition to other living places if needed. They offer move-in coordination, organize recreational activities like planned trips and movie nights, and provide rooms to socialize with friends and family. The place is wheelchair accessible, has both private and shared rooms, gardens, walking paths, arts rooms, and a barber and salon. Residents use transportation and parking services arranged by the nursing staff, who can also schedule medical appointments and set up consulting services in audiology, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, and psychiatry. Curtis Home operates every day between 8:00 and 20:00, although it's closed right now. The place runs in association with the Connecticut Association of Health Care Facilities and offers care for people with both simple and complex needs, including those needing IV services, hospice, and outpatient rehabilitation. Environmental services like cleaning and laundry are done seven days a week, and staff help with daily living activities for people who need extra hands. Curtis Home has a website at thecurtishome.org.
