Best Nursing Homes in Hartford, CT

Overview of West Hartford Health and Rehabilitation

West Hartford Health and Rehabilitation is a nursing home in West Hartford, CT offering skilled nursing, memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone living with dementia. Hospice care supports end of life needs, palliative care focuses on comfort alongside treatment, and respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs time away, so the range of care may suit a resident whose needs change over time.

The home has 160 beds, a capacity associated with more residents, staff, and usually programming than a smaller community. Starting rates are $540 per day for a private room and $493 per day for a semi private room, making the room arrangement a direct factor in the daily amount a family would budget. Medicare can apply to covered skilled care, Medicaid may help when savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay means paying directly.

Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 39 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nurse staffing time allocated to each resident. Rehabilitation services and an in house physiatry program support rehabilitation without arranging outside transport. Residents also have access to a 200 foot patio, outdoor seating, gourmet dining, and therapeutic recreation programs, while the monthly activity calendar includes art, music, and exercise.

A Walk Score of 67 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to complete some nearby errands independently. Pets are allowed, so residents may be able to keep a pet with them at the community.
