Cambridge Health And Rehabilitation Center in Fairfield, CT functions primarily as a nursing home, which means residents receive 24-hour skilled nursing oversight. The facility supports complex medical needs with an on-site Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program designed to help residents manage respiratory conditions through monitored exercises and breathing techniques. Licensed therapists also deliver goal-oriented Physical Therapy, working with residents on strength, balance, and mobility to promote safer daily functioning and reduce fall risk.

Beyond the core clinical programs, the center develops individualized care plans that are updated through regular assessments by an interdisciplinary team of nurses, therapists, and attending physicians. Medication administration, wound care, and coordination with outside specialists are handled on-site, and the staff arranges transportation for off-site dialysis or medical appointments when required. Family members are kept informed through scheduled care conferences, and discharge planning begins early for residents expected to transition home or to another setting.

Residential accommodations are designed to support day-to-day comfort. Select areas of the community include a library and computer lounge for reading or internet access, a small café for light refreshments, outdoor areas for fresh air, and building-wide Wi-Fi connectivity; however, individual rooms do not contain every feature, and availability varies by wing and room type. Private and semi-private layouts are offered, each with basic furnishings and call systems linked directly to the nursing station.

Dining services provide three daily meals and scheduled snacks prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian. Menus are adjusted for therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanically altered textures. Residents who are able take meals in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, while those who need in-room service receive tray delivery. Nutrition staff track intake and report any concerns to the clinical team.

An on-site activity center offers scheduled programs such as exercise classes, game sessions, and group discussions aimed at maintaining cognitive engagement and social connection. Additional services—such as religious observances, resident council meetings, and seasonal events—are coordinated through this space, allowing staff to tailor activities to resident preference and ability.
