Mansfield Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation sits about five minutes from the University of Connecticut campus, and you'll find it as part of both the National Health Care Associates network and owned by New Samaritan Corporation, which has been a non-profit since 1970, offering services for seniors and retirement-aged people who need regular care. The building holds 98 beds and serves folks needing skilled nursing, rehabilitation, subacute care, and longer stays, and you won't have to worry about smoke in the halls because everything is smoke-free. Staff provide around-the-clock help for people living with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or needing post-acute rehabilitation, and you'll see that they've been recognized for their care, such as being certified by the American Heart Association for heart failure and named a Great Place to Work. You can find daily activities and events to keep your mind and spirit going, and the place is set up with amenities and features aimed at making things comfortable and engaging, whether you're there for short-term rehab or long-term support.
There are specialized choices for dementia care, hospice work, IV and TPN services, therapy services, outpatient rehab, and behavioral health support, and programs in the building are backed by both state and federal funding, including the Affordable Care Act and HRSA-supported centers. They offer post-acute care, long-term care, and even a Passport™ program focusing on patient-centered support. Folks living there have access to interactive tools like a symptom checker and behavioral health recovery learning centers, plus a health library with information on medicines, tests, and procedures, and access to local mental health resources if needed. There's care coordination if you need help with the pieces of your care, and they provide visitor access each day from 8am to 8pm, with options for virtual visits if you can't come in. They're also prepared for emergencies with planning tools like an emergency card and a suicide prevention plan. As a member of the National Health Care Associates network, the center connects residents with related services from therapy and telehealth to diagnostics and home care through their network and affiliate partners. They offer privacy and compliance policies, career information, and resources on their website, and support both short and long-term residents with a focus on health, dignity, and support for both body and mind.
