Mozaic Senior Life (Jewish Senior Services)
Mozaic Senior Life, formerly Jewish Senior Services, is at 4200 Park Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Campus. Eight care designations are listed on the profile: nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, adult day care, home care, hospice care, and nursing care. That is the kind of list that signals a large, multi-service organization rather than a single building offering one type of care. For families who want to stay within one system as a person’s needs change over time, that breadth is worth paying attention to.
The campus sits in a somewhat walkable area (Walk Score 36), which in practice means most trips require a car. Bridgeport Hospital is 3.71 miles away. Larry Condon serves as Senior Vice President and Administrator.
The program list here goes well beyond what most nursing home profiles show. Alongside inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, the organization offers in-home therapy, medical and non-medical home care, adult day programs, a Memory Workshop, ElderCare Navigation, Geriatric Assessment and Physician Services, an Aging Technology program, Adult Family Living, Long-term Care Planning and Asset Protection, and a Center for Elder Abuse Prevention. That last one is unusual enough to be worth noting: it signals that elder advocacy is a stated organizational focus, not just a service add-on.
For adults and families navigating the full arc of aging, from outpatient support through residential memory and nursing care, Mozaic Senior Life operates at a scale that makes multi-stage care within a single system a realistic option in Bridgeport.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Connecticut
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Connecticut?
Assisted living in Connecticut supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Connecticut?
Assisted living in Connecticut is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Connecticut Medicaid cover assisted living?
Connecticut Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Connecticut) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 126 assisted living facilities in Connecticut. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Connecticut?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Connecticut, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Connecticut?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
