Village Green of Wallingford sits at 55 Kondracki Ln in Wallingford, Connecticut, and is part of Gray, Analia NP and Operations LLC, which operates over 150 nursing care centers across the United States, so it's managed by a group with plenty of experience. The facility offers a mix of assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's disease and dementia, skilled nursing, independent living, and transitional care, which means folks can stay for a short rehab or for the long term depending on what they need. The staff provides 24-hour nursing care, emergency services, pain and wound management, as well as end-of-life palliative and hospice care with spiritual and grief counseling. People can get physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and there's a dedicated rehabilitation unit for therapy after things like stroke, heart trouble, or surgery. Psychiatric and dialysis care are also available, and the staff helps residents manage their medicines and dietary needs too.
The building isn't fancy, but it's fully sprinklered for fire safety, and has 180 certified beds with about 147 residents. Staff ratios are listed clearly: each resident gets about 0.61 RN hours, 0.56 LPN hours, and 2.29 CNA hours. Influenza and pneumococcal vaccines go to all long-stay residents, which shows some attention to health detail. Deficiencies noted on inspection appear to be isolated with minimal harm reported. The place holds "special focus facility" status, which means regulators have flagged it for extra attention due to care issues in the past, though it's not inside a hospital.
Rooms are mostly studio layouts with options to eat in the room or in a restaurant-style dining area. There's an on-site beauty salon and barbershop, laundry, housekeeping, sunrooms with scenic views, and the decor includes artwork throughout living spaces, kitchens, and dining rooms. Staff help with daily living tasks like bathing and dressing, and there's 24/7 support. Village Green offers nutritious home-cooked meals tailor-made for various dietary needs, and trained aides run enrichment activities-from pet therapy and card games to music sessions, exercise classes, excursions, and devotional services. Secure landscaped grounds provide a peaceful and scenic outside area for residents.
Village Green connects with the wider community, with transportation options like the New Haven State Street Station nearby, plus hospitals such as Gaylord Specialty Healthcare and MidState Medical Center, many pharmacies, and access to physicians. Cafes like Starbucks and Panera Bread, restaurants with different cuisines, and parks such as Hubbard Park and East Rock Park sit close by, along with local movie theaters. The facility's staff encourages family involvement, and both resident and family councils meet regularly.
Staff provide home care services too, for seniors wanting to stay at home but needing companionship and basic help. Medical transportation is available for off-site appointments. The senior living counseling service can help residents and families decide what care fits best. Village Green isn't a continuing care retirement community and is run as a for-profit corporation that participates in Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Residents and families have given recognition in local awards for the helpful and joyful staff, as well as for the quality of activities that keep people engaged. The nursing and rehab teams focus on geriatric needs, and handle everything from memory care to help with emphysema, heart disease, and stroke. Village Green offers a supportive environment, with comfort features designed for easy living, and round-the-clock attention, but folks should always check inspection reports and current ratings to see if it's the right fit for their loved ones.
