Havencare at Valerie Manor

Havencare at Valerie Manor sits at 1360 Torringford Street in Torrington, Connecticut, with two buildings set on over 14 acres, one finished in 1984 with two stories and about 74,000 square feet, the other built in 1987 with three stories and around 76,000 square feet, and you'll find it managed by Athena Health Care Systems, with daily oversight from staff like the Director of Nursing Services, Memory Care Program Coordinator, and others, all offering a range of nursing and care services. The facility has 151 certified beds and usually about 141 residents each day, with choices for private or semi-private rooms, a large dining hall, comfy lounges, and amenities like a wellness center, computer center, fitness and gaming rooms, and outdoor garden space. The place provides long-term care and short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing, memory care, assisted living, respite, adult day services, independent living, and even hospice, plus you get programs for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, orthopedic recovery, advanced wound care, and chronic illness management under the care of on-site therapy teams. Residents can get help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, meals, and daily activities, with 24-hour support, a call system, and all-around supervision, and there's a mental wellness program, regular housekeeping, linen service, private bathrooms or kitchenettes, cable, WiFi, and air-conditioning. The Housekeeping and Laundry Director oversees the cleaning and laundry, while other departments help with financial work, maintenance, and therapeutic recreation, so everything runs smoothly. People can join organized activities, planned day trips, resident-run social and recreational events, and there's community-sponsored transportation for non-medical trips. The team also focuses on providing a safe, supportive, and respectful atmosphere, encouraging everyone to feel a part of the community, and it's got a reputation as a trusted provider for senior care services even though its most recent inspection reported 32 deficiencies, including issues with resident rights, abuse prevention, and respiratory care. The nurse turnover rate stands at 32.4% which is better than the Connecticut state average, but the nurse hours per resident per day falls short of the state average. Havencare at Valerie Manor offers a continuum of care, so residents can smoothly move between different levels of help as they need it and the place tries to meet each person's unique needs with individualized care plans and a focus on dignity and quality of life.
