# Nursing homes in Connecticut

All **191** Medicare-certified nursing homes in Connecticut, with the safety record CMS publishes.

## Before the brochure: look at staffing

The best-evidenced predictor of safe care is **nurse hours per resident per day** — hands-on nursing time per resident, measured by CMS from payroll. About **4.1 total nurse hours/resident/day** is a staffing-adequacy reference (not a pass/fail line).

In Connecticut, the median home reports **3.71 hours/resident/day**, and **40 of 187** meet the 4.1-hour reference. A high overall star does not guarantee high staffing.

## CMS Special Focus facilities (6)

CMS places its most seriously and persistently underperforming homes on the Special Focus Facility program (or names them candidates). This is CMS's own designation — recorded, not an Atlas verdict.

- **ADVANCED CENTER FOR NURSING & REHABILITATION** (NEW HAVEN) — SFF candidate
- **APPLE REHAB WEST HAVEN** (WEST HAVEN) — SFF candidate
- **ARDEN CARE CENTER** (HAMDEN) — SFF candidate
- **BICKFORD HEALTH CARE CENTER** (WINDSOR LOCKS) — SFF candidate
- **NEW LONDON SUB-ACUTE AND NURSING** (WATERFORD) — SFF candidate
- **GRANDVIEW REHABILITATION AND HEALTHCARE CENTER** (NEW BRITAIN) — Special Focus Facility

## What this is — and is not

This is published CMS Nursing Home Care Compare data — the same facts CMS shows the public, sorted to compare. It **informs and compares**; it does **not** rate, rank, or recommend a home for an individual's needs, and no figure is a guarantee. Shortlist a few, visit in person, ask about the most recent inspection, and call your state Long-Term Care Ombudsman (theconsumervoice.org/get_help).
