My son has been at Ludlowe and the care he has been receiving goes beyond. The staf has noticed when something has been wrong and took action and made sure to take the proper actions tosecure his safety. The nurses and CNA's have shown such compasion not only for him but for me. PT has been working with to regain his strength to walk again and have movement in his legs and he feels he will do it. I also was a patient here twice before and willalways refer family friends to here. If you want to make sure you rceive the best quality care with compassion and staff that will know when there is not something right this is the place.

Under no circumstances, do not send any family members to Ludlowe. My mom was there after having surgery to repair her right distal femur fracture and PT left her sitting in a wheelchair for 4 hours while experiencing dizziness and never addressed the dizziness and they took a long time to put her back in the bed.
I complained to the supervisor there over the phone and he was rude, no compassion and used excuses! It was inexcusable and horrifying and my mom suffered trauma psychologically. It had to take such a horrific experience to get the high level employees to investigate and put new protocols into place.
It is disgraceful and disgusting that certain employees lack heart and compassion. My mom complained to an employee she wasn’t feeling well and it was ignored which was unacceptable!
Given that Ludlowe and Cambridge in Fairfield, CT are owned by the same company, so not send your loved ones there. I had to bring my mom home to get the necessary treatment she needs without stress and worry.

not quality care. Kim and Liz were very rude, and I felt that the CNAs did not provide the level of care my grandmother deserved. Please do your research and be careful trusting a facility with your loved one’s care.
My grandmother was treated like being older and medically complex meant it was acceptable to keep her bedridden. She was discharged today at 11:30 AM, and shortly after had to return to the ER. We found out she has a pulmonary embolism (blood clot) in her lungs. The doctors told us it was likely related to being immobile.
Families trust these facilities with the lives of their loved ones. We expected compassion, attention, and proper care not to feel like our concerns were ignored. We are devastated.
I will make sure the DPH and beyond are called

Is a skilled nursing facility (SNF) like a hospital?
Hospitals provide a range of diagnostic and treatment services, including emergency and intensive care, surgery, diagnostics and imaging. Stays at hospitals are usually much shorter than in a SNF.
Skilled nursing facilities provide around-the-clock care to individuals in a short-term or long-term setting, including rehabilitation following surgeries, therapy services, and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, eating, and dressing. SNFs are staffed by licensed nurses, therapists, and other medical care specialists.
What paperwork is required for admission?
Guests or a responsible party will need to complete an Admission Agreement form with the admissions team within 48 hours of arriving.
Please enquire with our admission team as to which documents you are required to provide copies of.

While our center doesn’t have restrictive visiting hours like hospitals, we generally suggest 8 am to 8 pm. We welcome all visitors and have several areas throughout our center where guests can comfortably congregate with family and friends.

Absolutely! We welcome most family pets, including dogs and cats. We may request vaccination records and some breed restrictions may apply.

We provide a daily menu based on individual diets and preferences. We also have an “always available menu” for guests who prefer something different. Dietary aides are available to review our guests’ preferences and help make healthy selections that support care goals.
Whenever possible, we invite our guests to dine in a common area rather than in their rooms to enjoy the social benefits of gathering with others.
What should I leave at home?
Please leave valuables, such as jewelry, purses, wallets, and large amounts of money at home or with a loved one. We do not permit electrical items such as extension cords, space heaters, or electric blankets.
What level of privacy can guests expect?
We place a great emphasis on providing a supportive and safe environment, including adequate supervision, while respecting each person’s right to privacy. Common areas are open for all and guest rooms are private spaces.
How soon will therapy or rehabilitation begin?
Our goal is to ensure guests start rehabilitation as soon as possible. Therapy sessions will begin within 24 hours of admission and are offered up to seven days a week, based on individual care plans.
Are patients able to spend a night at home?
Short-term Medicare and Managed Care/Insurance Patients – During short-term stays, guests are permitted to leave the facility for special occasions (eg. a wedding, funeral, or special religious event), although not overnight.
Long-term Medicaid Patients – Long-term guests are allowed a leave of absence (LOA) based on the Medicaid allowable time. LOAs are reviewed and approved by our medical team to determine the safety of the time away and coordinate any plans to accommodate our guests’ care needs while they are away.
Private Pay Patients – These guests have no restrictions.
Who will be my doctor? When does the doctor visit?
We have several physicians who visit our guests within 48 hours of their arrival. They also make weekly rounds. If a guest prefers to use an existing primary care physician, our center staff will help them with the guidelines we’re required to follow to accommodate their request.
Our center also has nurse practitioners onsite and 24/7 on-call care staff. Our guest rooms may also include FDA-approved remote monitoring devices that monitor guests’ vitals 24/7. These devices are monitored by a team of RNs who can communicate with physicians and nurse practitioners if there are changes that need to be addressed.
Will i have a voice in my care plan?
It is every patient’s legal right to make their own choices about the care they receive, activities they participate in, and other aspects of their life while staying with us. A resident council, which is a self-governed body in our center, provides our guests with an opportunity to address any concerns.
When it comes to decisions around medical treatment, some guests can opt to give decision-making responsibilities to a loved one, such as a spouse, adult child, or other legally-designated person.
How long will guests stay at the center under their SNF benefit?
Each guest’s length of stay depends on their individual care plan and how they progress through therapy. Please note that insurance-approved days and coverage criteria apply. We will communicate with our guests or their designated caregiver regarding coverage throughout their stay.
How can guests leave the center?
When it comes to helping our guests return home or to another care setting, we closely monitor their progress and assess their requirements with activities of daily living. When appropriate, we support each of our guests with our Passport™ approach, including our Passport to Home program, to ensure a safe return home and continued treatment as needed.
