Apple Rehab Hewitt

Apple Rehab Hewitt sits at 45 Maltby Street in Shelton, Connecticut, and serves seniors and adults who need different types of care, and the building was built with elder care in mind, making sure residents get the support they need for everything from complex medical needs to everyday activities, whether someone's there for a short rehab stay after surgery or for long-term care. The facility has 140 beds, with private and semi-private rooms available, each set up with cable television, plus common amenities like a lounge on each floor, a library, a main activity room, a chapel, and a salon where residents can have beauty and barber appointments, and there's also a recreation room with a kitchen and plenty of activities to take part in every day, which can include art programs, live entertainment, on-site religious services, fishing trips, and outings, so there's always something to do for those who want to stay active or try something new. Apple Rehab Hewitt has a full team of healthcare workers-licensed nurses, certified nursing assistants, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, dietitians, case managers, social workers, and on-site physicians who look after everyone, making sure care plans match each person's health needs and recovery goals. There's round-the-clock skilled nursing care, which includes memory care for those with dementia, cardiac and pulmonary care for folks with heart or lung conditions, wound care, respiratory services like tracheostomy care and total parenteral nutrition, and treatments for diabetes, Parkinson's disease, strokes, orthopedic injuries, and other chronic health issues. For rehabilitation, Apple Rehab Hewitt offers physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language therapy-both for people staying at the facility and through outpatient services-covering things like mobility retraining, balance work, splinting, and swallowing evaluations, and therapists build individual plans for each person, working daily on skills that matter most for independence and well-being. The care team also deals with complex cases, providing IV therapy, enteral feedings, pain management, and support for people needing subacute or hospice care, and when family caregivers need a break, there are respite care options, which offer skilled, supervised help in a safe place when someone can't be cared for at home. Dietary staff, including a dietitian, plan and oversee all meal needs and make sure three daily meals are served, tailored to each person's medical conditions. Residents can pick between private or shared living spaces, based on whether they're staying short-term or moving in for longer, and everyone's looked after like family in a setting that aims to be welcoming, supportive, and hands-on for all health, comfort, and social needs, including extra disease education and social support groups, with special programs like the Cardio-Pulmonary Program, specialized COPD support, and care focused on lowering hospital readmissions for folks who need close medical follow-up. The team at Apple Rehab Hewitt does its best to coordinate with families, doctors, and home care providers, so everyone's on the same page, and there are plenty of programs and meetings residents can join, plus help from advocates and resources for both residents and family members. Apple Rehab Hewitt admits residents through private pay, private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid, and is known locally as a place where people can get help for nearly any medical, rehabilitation, or daily living challenge that comes up in later life.
