Bishop Wicke Health & Rehab Ct in Shelton, CT operates as a skilled nursing facility that provides both short- and long-term care as well as respite stays. Around-the-clock licensed nursing coverage, medication management, and on-site rehabilitation services form the core of its medical program. The clinical team addresses post-surgical recovery, chronic illness management, and complex medication regimens, with therapists and nurses coordinating closely to support each resident’s plan of care.
Additional medical features include regular physician visits, access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and the use of an electronic medication administration record to reduce errors. IV therapy, wound management, pain control, and discharge planning are available as needed. The facility’s goal is to stabilize health conditions, promote rehabilitation, and prepare residents either for safe return home or for continued long-term residency with appropriate support.
Accommodations are offered in a mix of private and semiprivate layouts, some of which feature wall-to-wall carpeting and access to landscaped outdoor areas. Routine housekeeping and all basic utilities are included, and rooms are supported by Skynet Technology that feeds data directly into the electronic medication administration system. Not every room has every feature, so families are encouraged to review specific options during a visit.
Dining services provide three daily meals prepared under the supervision of dietary staff who monitor nutritional needs and accommodate physician-ordered diets. Meal times are structured yet flexible enough to adapt to individual schedules, and snacks are available for residents requiring additional calories or blood-sugar management.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts structured and self-directed programs, a library and computer lounge for reading or internet use, and regular arts and crafts sessions designed to maintain fine-motor skills and encourage social interaction.
