Mozaic Senior Life (Jewish Senior Services)

The Harry And Jeanette Weinberg Campus Mozaic Senior Life 4200 Park Avenue, Bridgeport, CT 06604
Overview of 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 Nursing Homes in Connecticut

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Connecticut Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 69 nursing homes in Connecticut. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
