Wadsworth Glen Health Care and Rehabilitation Center sits in Connecticut and holds 102 certified beds, and it's managed by Athena Health Care Associates, Inc. since way back in 1987, so there's some continuity there, and you'll find ownership stakes held by Lawrence Santilli, Denise Piscatelli of Abbott Investment Trust, plus Christopher and Rick Errichetti, so you can tell it's got a varied group behind the scenes. The team here provides skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, home health care, and hospice services, and they also offer pain and wound management, dementia care, and a variety of therapies like physical and occupational therapy, and there's 24-hour skilled nursing with a nurse always available, though the nurse hours average about 3.48 per resident per day, which is a bit lower than what's seen elsewhere in the state, and turnover for nurses has been higher than average too, at 42.9%.
Services are managed by several directors who oversee dining, maintenance, human resources, business matters, laundry, and therapeutic recreation, and you'll find support staff for things like the Minimum Data Set and social work, all with the goal of providing steady care that covers residents' physical, emotional, and social needs, and a Staff Development Director keeps training and staff education moving along. The facility is air-conditioned and there's onsite parking for families and visitors, and residents have life enrichment programming and daily recreational activities to keep them engaged, and meals are managed by a dedicated Dining Director for comprehensive dining options. They do take pride in fostering strong family ties, aiming for supportive, respectful care, and pay attention to residents' dignity, sometimes working through challenges, because there have been survey deficiencies noted, including some infection issues and violations related to resident rights, care planning, and quality of life, which inspection reports track and monitor. There are usually about 95 residents living here each day according to census data. Wadsworth Glen is part of Athena Health Care Systems, a Connecticut-based group that's been operating since 1984, and they do offer post-hospital rehabilitation and hospice either onsite or with Athena Care at Home, and while some issues have come up in the past, there's a focus on steady staff development and programs that aim for comfort, support, and opportunities for both residents and their families.
