Middlebury Convalescent Home in Middlebury, CT operates as a skilled nursing facility that delivers 24-hour clinical oversight. Residents have access to short-term respite stays as well as ongoing long-term nursing care, with licensed nurses on duty around the clock to manage medications, monitor vitals, and coordinate physician visits.

Beyond direct medical treatment, the staff supports activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and eating, adjusting assistance levels to each person’s needs. Care plans are reviewed regularly with families and physicians, and the facility arranges transportation for outside appointments when required. Social workers and discharge planners are available to help residents transition back home or to another level of care as circumstances change.
Accommodations include a mix of private and semiprivate rooms, and some areas permit residents to keep a small pet. Common spaces feature a library and computer lounge for reading or internet use, along with an outdoor garden and additional outdoor seating areas for fresh air. Not every room or wing contains all of these features, so families are encouraged to confirm availability when touring.
All meals are provided by the dietary team, which follows physician-ordered nutrition guidelines and adjusts menus for diabetic, low-sodium, or other medically indicated diets. Residents may dine in a shared dining room for social interaction or request meal service in their rooms if preferred or required by health status.
