The Mews in Greenwich, CT provides two levels of residency: Assisted Living for those who need regular support and Independent Living for residents who manage most tasks on their own. Licensed nurses (RN and LPN) are on staff, and a nurse is on call 24 hours a day to oversee routine health needs, oxygen management, and monitoring for residents who control diabetes with oral medication. Mild dementia conditions are accepted, and an on-site podiatry service reduces the need for outside appointments. Residents who use walkers, wheelchairs, or only need standby help with transfers can be accommodated without leaving the community.
Direct personal care includes some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, along with standby supervision at mealtimes for those who need cues rather than hands-on help. Pull-cord alarms in apartments alert staff at any hour, and an awake night shift, background-checked personnel, and 24-hour security create continuous oversight. An Activity Director coordinates structured and casual programs to keep residents engaged, and regular wellness reviews help adjust care plans as needs change.
Apartments vary in size and layout but may include a private bathroom, individual temperature controls, cable connection, and the option to paint or decorate. Not every unit has every feature, so it is advisable to confirm availability during a visit. Independent Living residents receive medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry services; those choosing Assisted Living receive these supports as part of their care package.
Dining follows a set menu prepared three times daily and served in a shared dining room, with staff present to offer verbal prompts or supervision for anyone who benefits from oversight while eating. Snacks are available between meals, and basic dietary adjustments can be arranged through the nursing team so residents’ medical plans remain consistent with their meals.
Community amenities include resident parking, scheduled transportation, proximity to public transit, and outdoor smoking areas. A barber and beauty shop, wellness center, internet access points, communal gardens, and regular on-site religious services round out the daily options for residents who want to stay active without leaving the grounds.
