Cheshire House

Cheshire House, found at 3396 East Main Street in the Pierpont Road neighborhood of Waterbury, is a family-owned skilled nursing and rehabilitation center that offers a wide range of short-term and long-term care services, and folks come here after a hospital stay when they need post-acute or sub-acute rehabilitation, and there's also care for those needing skilled nursing on a longer basis. Staff provide customized meals that residents can enjoy in a restaurant-style dining room, and dietary needs get considered carefully, so you're not left out if you have specific food rules. They've got both physical and occupational therapy right onsite, plus speech language pathology services for folks who need help recovering communication skills, and with specialists handling pulmonary care in oxygen-equipped rooms in the Cambridge Wing, and aquatic therapy in a Swim-Ex pool, people find a lot of unique care options here. For those going back out into the community soon, therapists and nurses work with clear recovery goals and aim to help each resident get home promptly and safely. Long-term care and end-of-life hospice services are available, and families looking for outpatient rehab or home health care can use the Lighthouse Home Health Care team for skilled care 24/7, right in their own home, and also turn to Lighthouse Companion Care for help with daily personal tasks. The building has private suites and separate levels-like the Lower Level, Upper Level, and Private Suite area-and offers wireless internet, cable-ready flat screen TVs, individual phones, and a beauty/barber shop for some convenience and comfort, and there's a calendar of recreational and spiritual programs, too. A five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services shows that the facility meets strict government guidelines, and the place makes sure to follow federal protections for LGBTQ housing and employment rights, so everyone knows where they stand, and staff speak English and sometimes other languages. Insurance plans are accepted, including workman's compensation as part of the Ryders Continuum, and while Cheshire House is known for its various skilled care and rehabilitation services, and even offers virtual tours for prospective residents, it's not currently accepting new patients or listed for sale or rent. The facility has a privacy policy, and the administrator can arrange tours when spots open up. People find both wellness support and practical amenities like parking, though details on the building's entrance and accessibility features aren't listed. Housing options may include different types of apartments, and residents can pick what's right for them from the services and levels of care Cheshire House provides.
