United Community And Family Services has been around for over 140 years and works as a nonprofit focused on health and well-being for people at every age, with a real dedication to helping seniors in Norwich and across multiple locations in Connecticut, and it'll offer a wide range of services like medical care, dental care, women's health, eldercare, behavioral health, outpatient care, psychiatry, addiction treatment, and case management, all delivered by teams of clinicians, therapists, nurses, and other health providers including MSN, APRN, and PMHNP-BC staff members. The main sites sit at 47 Town Street and 165 McKinley Avenue in Norwich, but you'll find services in places like Griswold, Moosup, New London, and Colchester too, plus lots of specialized health help set up right in schools-schools like Norwich Free Academy, Mohegan and Moriarty Schools, Ledyard, Griswold, Fitch, Colchester, so many, even daycare and child care sites-which means kids and families can get primary and behavioral care without having to leave the area.
For seniors, there's Sheltering Arms Residential Care offering private rooms, sun porches, community TVs, a formal living room for visitors, help with laundry and housekeeping, and medication administered by on-site nurses and 24-hour attendants, so you have safety and dignity, and there's the Ross Adult Day Center in New London County for homebound adults or those who might otherwise need a nursing home, where people get day services, transportation to activities, social and recreational programs, and intergenerational events, and even the Shoreline Adult Day Center helps support folks, plus access to draw station services and a pharmacy. The staff help with case management, insurance enrollment, behavioral health, and draw station services, and there's even caregiver resources, quizzes for stress, and a gallery to see what life inside is like. The community has group therapy, autism support, Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), general counseling, addiction help, and Bettor Choice Problem Gambling Treatment, and offers outpatient mental and physical health support, telehealth options, and in-school dental care for children.
Support for elderly or disabled adults includes options that let people stay independent as long as they can and don't always mean moving into a nursing home, and there's always on-site health staff for peace of mind and help when something's needed, and community-based partnerships keep care affordable with some funding choices. United Community And Family Services has a team of staff between 201 to 500 people, all led by President and CEO Charles Seeman, and they've built a reputation for steady, compassionate support, working with other organizations and merging services as needed to meet the community's changing needs and always with a focus on making health care about the individuals and families being served.
