Southington Care Center stands at 45 Meriden Ave, Southington, CT, and you'll find it's connected to Hartford HealthCare, which means folks can use a wide range of health services including hospitals, behavioral health, and special senior services, and when you drive or walk over, they've thought of little things like offering step-by-step directions and route help to avoid traffic, which really does make things easier for visitors. The place offers different types of care-from independent living, assisted living, and long-term care, to both in- and outpatient short-term rehabilitation, and there's a special transitional care unit for people getting ready to head back home from the hospital. There are about 130 skilled nursing beds and apartments for assisted living, and the staff includes nurses, nursing assistants, physical and occupational therapists, who all help residents with daily things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and eating, but there's also a lot of focus on keeping folks safe and as healthy as they can be, since they rate care based on things like nurse staffing and preventing emergency visits.
The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has features meant for resident safety and comfort, and there are little extras such as a therapy pavilion, a courtyard, and an 8,300 square foot rehabilitation area with things like aquatherapy and an occupational therapy suite that looks just like a real home, so people can practice what they'll need for when they go back home, and you'll also come across programs like GoodLife Fitness and the Brain Gym that are designed for both exercise and keeping your mind strong. They run cognitive fitness programs right alongside regular exercise programs, so physical health and mental well-being get attention at the same time, and you'll see the Center for Healthy Aging on site to help folks find the services and information they need, while the Hartford HealthCare Senior Services helps people stay independent as long as they can, including support like independence-at-home care and help for special needs.
People who live with Alzheimer's disease can get special care, and short-stay respite options are available too, so families can take a needed break. They have long-term care and outpatient rehab options, services for diabetes, cancer, memory problems, heart care, pain, movement disorders, and more, with emergency help for seniors any time day or night. U.S. News & World Report rated Southington Care Center as one of the country's best for short- and long-term rehabilitation, and it earned two badges for that in 2024, and you'll see that's for things like preventing falls and infections, making sure people get back home safely, and supporting both physical and mental health with the help of a team. Insurance is accepted through Medicare, Medicaid, and most private plans. Amenities and surroundings are designed to make folks comfortable, supported, and healthy while being honest about the care they're getting. The Orchards at Southington community is another part of their services, offering more living options for seniors. Everything's set up to give people the care they need, help them stay independent, and respect their comfort and safety.
