Laurel Ridge Health Care Center

Laurel Ridge Health Care Center sits at 642 Danbury Rd in Ridgefield, CT and stays open all hours, even on holidays and weekends, with staff always ready to help and answer questions or lend a hand. The building offers 126 beds, including both private and semi-private rooms, and there's a secure memory care unit for those who need extra safety and support, and while some folks come for long stays, others get the short-term help they need with respite care or rehabilitation after illness or surgery. People here can get skilled nursing, trach care, IV services, TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition), therapy services, and hospice care whenever they are needed, and the center also has a Secure Dementia Unit for those with memory issues needing special attention, plus staff trained to care for a wide range of chronic illnesses and disabilities throughout the day and night. Laurel Ridge uses the Passport™ care approach, which means they try to think about each person's needs and goals, and the center connects to a larger network of National Health Care centers and affiliates, making it easier for residents to access other services like telehealth, diagnostics, therapy, home care, and hospice without needing to leave the group. There are dedicated recreational staff who bring music, singing, and other activities to residents, and the goal is to keep minds and spirits bright with daily events and simple comforts that bring joy or help in passing the time, and staff are known to be friendly, welcoming, and focused on making everyone feel at home, whether it's a quiet afternoon or a busy care day. Laurel Ridge Health Care Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and private payments, so families have different options to pay for care, and even though it has specific names for a lot of its programs and care services, the focus always stays on offering practical care and keeping residents comfortable-no matter how long they stay.
