nursing homes

The state of Connecticut has asked a judge to close Waterbury Gardens, a nursing home that is costing the state nearly $1 million a month to operate.

Nearly half of the nursing homes in Connecticut are overdue for a routine inspection, and the number of serious violations is up. What's going on?

Connecticut’s population is aging, and Governor Ned Lamont wants people to stay in the state after they retire. A string of complaints from nursing home residents and their families have prompted legislative action in an effort to keep them from moving.

The closure of Hughes Health & Rehabilitation, a 5-star facility, is partly due to a shift to home and community-based care, its owner said.

As more Connecticut residents choose elder care outside of nursing homes, advocates worry access to services for the aging will become more unequal.

Connecticut nursing homes are facing an uncertain future as they navigate pressure from all sides — financial, legal and internal.

Connecticut ranks 4th-highest in the nation in 85 and older population. The state's network of support systems for seniors is struggling.

A coalition of nursing homes says, if New York state doesn’t increase its Medicaid reimbursement rates, the eldercare facilities may have to reduce the number of beds — or even shut down all together.

The union representing many of the New York state’s nursing home workers said the health department’s proposed rules fall short and undermine the intent of the 2021 law.

People will no longer be required to wear face masks in Connecticut hospitals, outpatient health care settings and homeless shelters, once a state masking order expires early Friday.
