River Glen Health Care Center sits at 162 South Britain Road in Southbury, CT, and it has 120 beds with services for seniors who need nursing care, assisted living, and specialized memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and you'll find a welcoming environment there where staff show friendliness and kindness, because everyone tries to support residents in everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine. People live there on a short-term or long-term basis, and there's a strong focus on skilled medical care, so residents get help with things like IV therapy, wound care, respiratory and cardiac services, plus you see programs for cardiac care management, complex medical conditions, diabetes, neurological or orthopedic rehabilitation, pulmonary rehab, and stroke recovery, and there are even special offerings for Huntington's Disease, head trauma, and more medical needs. The Rehab Center uses its own therapists for physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapies, whether someone is recovering from a stroke, surgery, fractures, or joint replacement, and you'll notice the staff encourages people to regain as much independence as possible. Memory care units are designed to prevent wandering and confusion, and there's a secure unit for safety. You'll see meal services where they cook nutritious food with quality ingredients to support everyone's health, and the community offers social activities that get people moving, thinking, and connecting with others. People can use respite care, palliative and hospice care, ventilator weaning, sub-acute rehab, and even Home Health and CareOne at Home services when needed, so there's support for different care levels. River Glen Health Care Center works hard to keep high standards and serves as a premier subacute provider, recognized with the Eli Pick Award and a 5-star rating from the Center for Medicare Services, and it has a reputation for solid clinical practices and management. The place feels warm and dignified for residents, and you'll find amenities aimed at making life comfortable, including recreational programs and good dining options, and all the nurses and staff aim to follow treatment plans tailored to each person's needs. Ms. Heidi Sojka is the contact person, and you can find more information about the center on their website. River Glen Health Care Center has been a member since 2022.

Very satisfied despite understaffing issues
I'm very satisfied with the care my mom received - the facility is exceptionally clean, staff are kind, friendly and helpful, and the therapy/rehab team was excellent. Administration and front desk were responsive, the place feels home-like with nice outdoor spaces and good activities. There were some onboarding/communication hiccups, occasional meal mix-ups and clear understaffing that left aides overworked. Overall my family and I are grateful and I would recommend this facility.
