For many seniors and their families in Fairfield County, the greatest fear isn’t just the transition to senior living—it’s the fear of having to move again.
In a traditional model, a senior might move into an assisted living facility in one town, only to be forced to move to a different skilled nursing facility miles away when their medical needs increase. This “relocation stress syndrome” can take a significant toll on a senior’s physical and emotional health.
At Wilton Meadows, we offer a different path: a true continuum of care in Fairfield County through our integrated campus.
What is a Continuum of Care?
A continuum of care is a seamless transition between different levels of medical and personal support, all located within the same community. On our campus, this means that as a resident’s health needs evolve, their address doesn’t have to.
Our integrated model includes:
-
Independent & Assisted Living: For those who need a little help with daily tasks but want to maintain their autonomy.
-
Short-Term Rehabilitation: Focused recovery following a hospital stay.
-
Long-Term Skilled Nursing: 24/7 clinical care for complex medical conditions.
The Unique Advantages of a Shared Campus
1. Eliminating Relocation Stress
Moving is exhausting at any age, but for seniors, it can be disorienting. By staying on the same campus, residents remain in a familiar environment with staff who already know their preferences, medical history, and favorite morning routines.
2. Keeping Couples Together
One of the most heartbreaking challenges for Fairfield County families is when one spouse needs skilled nursing while the other is still independent. Our shared campus allows couples to stay close to one another, even if they require different levels of care. They can still share meals, attend events, and spend their days together.
3. Stability for the Family
When your loved one is part of the Wilton Meadows community, you don’t have to research new facilities or learn new protocols every time a health change occurs. You have a single point of contact and a trusted team that understands your family’s journey.
Seamless Transitions Between Care Levels
Our “Integrated Care” model ensures that transitions are proactive rather than reactive.
-
From Rehab to Home: If a resident is in short-term rehabilitation, our team works to get them back to their assisted living apartment as quickly as possible.
-
Escalating Care: If a resident requires long-term care, the move is handled internally with total clinical continuity.
