Pomperaug Woods operates as a continuing care retirement community, so residents can transition smoothly from independent living to higher levels of assistance without relocating to another campus. On-site medical support includes regular physician oversight, physical therapy, diabetes management, and speech therapy, and the community can arrange short-term or respite stays when family caregivers need relief. These clinical services are delivered on a scheduled basis in the community’s therapy and wellness areas, minimizing the need for outside appointments.
The campus is a secured community with controlled entrances and staff available around the clock. Emergency call systems are monitored at all times, and care plans are updated whenever a resident’s condition changes. By combining licensed professionals with consistent staffing patterns, the community maintains continuity of care and clear communication among nurses, therapists, primary physicians, and family members.
Apartment options range from studio and efficiency layouts to one-bedroom plans, and floor plans may include balconies, patios, or decks that overlook landscaped grounds, walking paths, or a butterfly garden. Some residences offer in-unit washers and dryers, cable or satellite TV hookups, Wi-Fi, and individual climate control, while others rely on shared laundry and common-area internet. Housekeeping, utilities, parking, and maintenance are included in the monthly fee, but not every accommodation features every listed amenity, so prospective residents should verify specific unit features during a tour.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style in the main dining room, with an all-day dining program that makes it easier to stick to personal schedules. Menus include gluten-free, no-sugar-added, and low-sodium choices, and a private dining room can be reserved for family events or guest meals. Residents who prefer variety can opt for lighter fare or take meals in the café or on the outdoor patio when the weather cooperates.
Recreational and wellness resources include an activity center, fitness center with organized stretching classes, swimming pool, library and computer lounge, arts and crafts studio, movie theater room, and outdoor walking paths that connect to gardening club plots. The staff schedules intergenerational programs, social outings, day trips, community service projects, and wine tastings, while clubs and discussion groups meet regularly on site. Health and wellness programs complement the clinical services by promoting exercise, lifelong learning, and social engagement across the community.
