Overview of Trinity Hill Care Center

Four care types are offered at Trinity Hill Care Center in Hartford, CT, starting with the nursing home itself. The other three are skilled nursing, hospice care, and respite care.

Skilled nursing means no overnight gap in licensed nurse coverage. Hospice care is there for residents whose lives are nearing their end. Respite care covers a short break in home caregiving. The home fits needs ranging from ongoing nursing to hospice care or a temporary stay.

Of 134 beds, 91% are filled, so most beds are taken. Daily rates start at $521 for private rooms and $488 for semi-private rooms.

Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Medicare is for short-term skilled care that follows a hospital admission, and it doesn’t extend to living there long term. Medicaid helps once savings can’t carry the cost over time, and private pay comes straight from the resident or family. Nurse time for one resident over a day totals 3 hours and 33 minutes.
