When Tenley comes through the door she is greeted with a very warm welcome. Tenley is a beautiful black and ruby Cavalier Kin Charles who has recently graduated from the Tails of Joy Training Program to become a Certified Pet Therapy Dog. 

Lori Racicot-Burrous has been coming to Touchpoints at Bloomfield as our very own Painting Consultant. She came to our facility as a student for a community project that the college offered.  When our previous Painting Consultant retired, Lori contacted the facility and wanted to have a chance to show her creativity. Lori had a vision of teaching the residents the importance of art and how it plays a major part in everyone’s lives.  Expressing yourself through art is a gift at any age.  

Robert L was discharged home from Touchpoints at Manchester having been a patient on the congestive heart failure rehabilitation program in collaboration with Saint Francis Hospital.

At Touchpoints at Chestnut, as with many skilled nursing communities, there is much more to caring for residents than medical care and rehabilitation. Although short term rehab can be quite brief, stretching a few days to a few weeks, many residents call our communities their home. In order to foster the home like environment, provide stimulating activities and recreation and add to the overall quality of life, many other projects and initiatives have been woven into daily life.
