Autumn Lake Healthcare at New Britain

Autumn Lake Healthcare at New Britain stands on 400 Brittany Farms Rd in New Britain, Connecticut, and it's what you'd call a skilled nursing facility, with 282 beds and a mix of services for people who need both long-term care and short-term rehabilitation, so you see folks stay for a while or come in to recover after a hospital visit, and they've also got hospice care, IV services, and a secured dementia unit for residents who need memory support, with staff who speak English and are trained for these kinds of needs. You'll find round-the-clock skilled nursing, post-hospital care, and a setting that's pretty peaceful, with inner gardens, an inner sanctuary, and recently, they've set up a separate 41-bed subacute wing that includes 30 private rooms, a private entrance, and its own dining room and gym. Residents can use private transportation if they need it, and they get access to a full team that might include cardiologists, pulmonologists, or respiratory therapists right on site. The therapy program covers a wide range, from mobility to strength, and it's hands-on, led by a multidisciplinary group. You'll often see arts and crafts, daily activities, and a big recreational program since the staff always aims to give people choices and keep them engaged. Everything is overseen by board-certified specialists for advanced care, and there's a focus on both security and each resident's individuality, especially in the Memory Care Unit. They do try to make the environment relaxing with modern amenities, and you'll notice the atmosphere is usually described as warm and vibrant. The facility is independently owned and operated, though it's part of a bigger network, with other Autumn Lake facilities in Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, and the healthcare here is only provided through Autumn Lake Healthcare at New Britain, which means it's set up so that everything comes together under one roof for nursing, rehab, and therapies. Right now, they are not taking new patients.
