Life Care Center of Wilbraham is licensed as a nursing home and is staffed to deliver 24-hour skilled nursing care. The center is equipped to manage short-term rehabilitation, respite stays, and respiratory therapy, providing residents with medical oversight that includes wound care, IV therapies, and post-surgical recovery services. A rehabilitation gym supports physical, occupational, and speech therapies designed to help residents regain function and return home or transition to a lower level of care when possible.
An interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurse practitioners, therapists, and social workers develops individualized care plans and reviews progress regularly. The facility accommodates caregivers who need temporary relief through structured respite care and offers respiratory therapy overseen by licensed respiratory therapists. Discharge planning begins on admission, and coordination with local hospitals and specialists helps ensure continuity of care after a hospital stay or during a complex medical episode.
Resident rooms are available in a mix of private and companion configurations. Some suites are pet friendly, and select areas of the campus feature accessible outdoor spaces, including walking paths and a garden courtyard. A library and computer lounge with Wi-Fi access, common rooms with fireplaces, and multiple seating areas give residents options for quiet reading or social visits. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation includes each feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to confirm availability during a tour.
Daily meals are prepared on-site and served in shared dining rooms, with tray service available for those who need or prefer to dine in their rooms. Registered dietitians oversee menu planning to address therapeutic diets, texture modifications, and individual preferences. Staff monitor nutritional intake and coordinate with the medical team to adjust meal plans when health conditions change.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts arts and crafts sessions, wellness programs, TV and movie nights, and organized social outings in the local community. Clubs and interest groups meet regularly, and transportation is arranged for scheduled events off campus. These amenities are designed to promote social connection, cognitive engagement, and overall well-being alongside the facility’s clinical services.
