Jerome Home in New Britain provides skilled nursing home care with continuous clinical oversight. Residents have access to on-site physical therapy delivered by licensed therapists who coordinate with the nursing staff to track progress and adjust treatment plans. Short-term respite stays are available for individuals who need temporary 24-hour support, giving family caregivers a planned break while ensuring the resident receives the same level of skilled nursing services. Diabetes management is integrated into daily care, including regular blood-glucose monitoring, medication administration, diet adjustments and routine education to help residents maintain stable health.
Beyond these core programs, Jerome Home maintains a staff of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants around the clock. Care plans are reviewed regularly by an interdisciplinary team that can arrange laboratory work, imaging, wound care and pain management on site or through nearby medical partners. The rehabilitation department uses modern equipment for strength, balance and gait training, while the nursing staff provides medication management and coordinates physician appointments, transportation and discharge planning when hospital visits are necessary.
Living arrangements include studio and efficiency layouts, and select units are pet friendly. The building opens to landscaped grounds with an outdoor garden, walking paths and additional outdoor areas where residents can spend time when weather permits. Not every accommodation includes each of these features, so availability depends on the specific unit and level of care required.
Three meals are prepared each day, with menu options designed to meet general and therapeutic diet requirements, including diabetic and low-sodium selections. The dining team works closely with nursing and therapy staff to adjust textures and portion sizes as prescribed, and snacks are provided between meals to help maintain proper nutrition.
Residents can spend free time in the activity center, take part in scheduled yoga sessions, join clubs and community groups, play bingo, or work on arts and crafts projects. Health and wellness programs are offered throughout the week, and a library and computer lounge provides quiet space for reading, internet use and small group gatherings.
