Cambridge Health and Rehabilitation Center’s services in Fairfield, CT, run from skilled nursing and nursing home care to hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. Skilled residents have licensed nurses available through every shift, overnight included. Hospice care serves the end of life, while palliative care concentrates on comfort and relief from symptoms. Respite is for a household whose usual caregiver needs time off to travel or recover.
Short-Term Care Services and Long-Term Care Services split the recovery-focused residents from those with ongoing nursing needs, and rehabilitation services back the short-term side. Physicians are on staff, so medical care stays inside the center. Per resident, the nursing total is 3 hours and 1 minute daily, and the center has 160 beds.
Daily rates start at $605 for a private room and $580 for a semi-private one, where a resident shares the space. The center bills Medicaid, Medicare, or the family directly. Medicaid steps in when savings can’t carry a long stay, and Medicare generally pays for short-term skilled care following hospitalization, not for living there long-term.
A recreation area is available, and religious services welcome all denominations. Anna Durkovic holds the administrator’s post. Cambridge fits someone after short-term rehabilitation, ongoing skilled nursing, respite, or hospice and palliative care, all in one setting.
